 The Theatre of Insects — Thomas Moffett. 1658 . . 47 



Most of the material in Moffett's book is taken from the 

 writings of Conrad Gesner, a poor Swiss who at great pains 

 collected all that was known of the history of animals and 

 published five large volumes ; but before he completed his 

 work upon insects, death claimed him, in 1558, and his work 

 after passing into several hands was finally incorporated in 

 Moffett's work nearly a century after Gesner had prepared it.

Girard — quoted by Langstroth 62 



The number of vibrations made by a bee's wino- in a 

 minute have been reckoned by registering the wino-'s 

 beats on a rapidly turning wheel covered with lamp- 

 black, but this is not accurate, as the wing moved less 



quickly because of the obstruction 62
