 deeper red. 



31. Ricinus leclularius rotundus. The Round Bed-Tick. 

 Thefe are of a chefnut brown, very round and fiat, about the 

 circumference of a fpangle. Francifcus Spoletus, a learned phy- 

 fician of Padua, told me thefe were a great fudorinck. 



32. Ricinus lectularius oblongus: The Oval Bed-Tick. Like 

 the laft, but more oval. Thefe may be male and female. 



33. Ricinus nemorofus fufcus. Brown Wood-Tick. Found

 trees. Thefe are very troublefome to human bodies, by fastening 

 their head into the fkin.

 Tick. Found with the laft, but differs in being lefs, and the 

 lower part inclining to a deep red. N. B. Thefe four laft Ticks

 Fly, Hoefnagcl, tab. 12. fig. 17. Near \ of an inch long; eyes 

 large and black, as are part of its fheaths and delt ; the reft yel- 

 lowifh : the hinder legs in all thefe are very long and feathery, 

 ftanding much backward, and ufed as oars infwimming. Thefe 

 are pretty frequent in moft ftanding ponds.

 Boat-Fly. This differs from the laft, in being a fize lefs, and the 

 deaths almoft wholly pale.

 and flatter ; very common in all ponds, and at all feafons.

 Bug. This is more than half an inch long, and near two-thirds as 

 broad ; in fhape refembling fome of our middling Water-Beetles. 

 What is remarkable in this, is its two fore-feet have each a ftiort 

 claw ending in a crooked thorn, and a fharp probofcis, with which 

 it endeavours to fting when taken. Thefe are frequently found 

 with the laft, though not quite fo common. 



6. Scorpio aquat. bipilis vulg. Gaz. 74. 4. Scorpio paluftris 

 ad Cimices referendus F. W. Ray Inf. 58. Lift. Scarab, tab. 4. 

 fig. 3. Scorpio paluftris Moffet. p. 321. fig. 2. The figure of this 

 gives you a quicker idea than a defenption can : its whole furface 

 of a dirty colour, but the body under its wings pure fcarlet : it 

 has two long bnftl.es at its tail : the fore-feet, or claws, referable 

 thofe of a Scorpion, whence its name. I have met with thefe 

 creeping under water, at the fides of ponds. 



7. Scorpio aq. bipilis, corpore flavefcente. Scorpio paluftris 

 Moffet. fig. 2. Pale Water-Scorpion. The body of this (under its

 Wood. 



10. Tipula maxima Sc longiffnna. The Long Water Scorpion- 

 Spider. This very elegant infect is about one inch and half from 

 its eyes to the tail; and the two briltles from thence above an inch : 

 its legs are of the fame make with the following kinds, viz, Long, 

 Smooth, and Slender : the horns, which are alio an inch long, are 

 very remarkable ; its firft joints next the head are perfectly round 

 and even ; at the end of thefe are two others clofe together, the 

 firft bending the middle joint backwards, the other inwards : about 

 half an inch farther is a fmall prickle, into which the fharp tips 

 cling, to hold fail their prey : the outward fheaths are of a dark 

 grey ; its under wings tranfparent and blueiffi, but the body under 

 them of a curious orange. Mr. Dandridge takes notice, thefe 

 run not on the furface of the water, as the following, but, like 

 the Water-Scorpions, are found at the bottom. Thefe he o'oferved 

 in a pond beyond Hornfey-Wood. 



1 1 . Tipula impennis corpore craffiore. Winglefs Thick Water- 



Spider. Somewhat more than half an inch, long ; the head and 

 tail conical, viz. pointed at each end, and thickeft in the middle ;

 longer than the hindermoft, and all fmooth like thofe in gnats ; 

 its horns alfo long and flender jointed, from the middle to the tips. 



12. Tipula impennis corpore tereti. Winglefs Slender Water- 

 Spider. Very like the laft, but taperer from the middle of the 

 body to the tail. Both thefe are void of membranaceous wings : 

 this is covered by the laft, therefore fuppofed to be male and female. 

 Mr. Dandridge found thefe at a fluke of the New River, in a green 

 lane near Hornfey-Wood.

 Spider. This differs from the two laft, in having wings, and

 running waters: 



Ii;. Tipula Londinenfis anguftiflirtfa Gaz. 9. 12. Narrow Water-
