Fer 



(c) Chlnche is the Spanifli for bug ; from whence it feems the name of tms 

 infect was given likewife to the polecat, on account of the intolerable fmell it 

 emits behind ; but we do not doubt that count de Buffon has rather altered 

 the name Chingbe, by which the polecat is known in Chili; for we do not find' 

 the name Chinche ufed to fignify that quadruped in any country of America.
