tBe parts in a Chryfdls , are not fo plainly dlfcernablc to our view , as 
thofe in a Njmfha , and becaufe a Chryfai^j does fometiraes appear of a 
Gilt-colour , which he hath not hitherto obfervM in a Nympha^hc calls 
the iV)'»?/?^^, barely by the narae of P^p^£"/-, and the Chryfalis by that of 
G}lt-fHfpet : the diltind:ion of which is made very clear by the neat and 
accurate Cuts annexed , and their Explication. In this Firfi part is fet. 
forth the manner^how the Worm and Caterpillars' turn into Puppets and 
fliewed/^^tfome Infeds come perfed out of the Egg, and never out of 
a Puppet that the principal difference of the Werm-an'mdctiU^ that turn 
into Puppets^ confifts in this, that forae have feet, fome have none • that 
the breaft of the feetlefs Worms is never changed ^ that the fix fore-feet 
of the Worms with many or few feet are never changed or tranfpofed ^ 
that the Wings, Horns, Eeet, d-^r. grow up under the skin by degrees ^ 
that in all Worms he can ealily fliew the faid parts under the skin , af^ 
firming, to have done it adually in the prefence of Seignieur Maga/otth 
and Monfieur Thevenot^ Two very Intelligent and Cautious perfons;,and 
that, even a Frog comes forth into a Puppet,

Harvey miftaketh, calling the v^//rW/^?( which indeed is the Animal it felf, j 
an Egg, and affirming, that Bloudlefle.y^;!/»?^/^;/^/^ are produced out. of

Further, that Goedartm erres, holding, that xCaterpUlM msiY change be«

adding, tTiat they may chan^ when they. will, and that the Animal% . 
when once changed, do never grow bigger. And from the know! edg,e of.
