Produftton, Change and Growth. The /ri? Rank, by him called Nym* 
fha- J^imal, hath a little Animal fully formed in the Egg , which aftct 
:tht evaporation of the fuperfiuous raoifture, comes forth pcrfed and fo 
groweth up fuch as the Lori^fe znd Flea^Scc, The feco^d called Nympha- 
Vermicnlus^ hath the parts of the Infed imperfedlly (haped in the Egg, 
and after hatching acquires its perfed:ion Vifiblyhy outward food j fuch 
as iht 'Locufl ikrA' Cricket The thtrd^ called Nymfha^Chry falls or Ati^ 
relia^ obtains after hatching, its perfedion darkly, and not till the laft 
calling of the skin fuch as the ETrmet^md Ni^iTp- butterfly :So that in the 
fecond ^nd-third ChiVis not a perfe<?t Amntal , but a IVorm , precedes the 
growing up of the parts ^ yet with- this difference, that in the/^rW, the 
little Creature groweth up manifeftly which in the third is done oh- 
fcurcly; Thtfamh^ called Nymfhavermiformis , remains always Oiut up 
in the skin of the Worm, 'without a poffibility of difcerning the parts, 
till cafting both skins at 6hce, itbccoras capableof generation fuch as 
th^Fly. -"'v'l 
In the Explicadon and Deduftion of all which differences, the Author 
taketh notice of many remarkable particulars: E.g, That ihtlnk^s, 
which come perfed out of their Eggs, change only by calling their skin^ 
and thofe that come fokhHmperfed, do,bclidesskin-cafting , grow up 
by food 5 to become A^w/^'s or Puppets : That thofe, which coroeper- 
fed or imperfed oat of the Egg^are in the Egg firft like Puppets , and 
undergo, both of them in the Egg, all the alterations, which any Infeft 
tindergoeth in the Puppet ; That the parts of Puppets protuberate,much 
Hke the Budding of Flowers: That Ac Caterpillar is the Butterfly it felf^ 
only covered over with a mantle , whereby the parts are kept from our 
difcerning : T^^f the dodrine of Seigneur Malpighi/m his Differtation 
de Bombyce (dedicated to the if. Society, ) concerning the Change of 
Butterflyes ^istmc iThat innumerable Inlcds fly about and feed by night, 
as well as others do by day .• That Snails difcharge their excrements by 
the neck, and are each of tnem , both Male and Female : That from C4- 
r^r/^fV/^frx, feeding on fuch and fuch plants , conjcdures may be drawn 
concerningthe agreement of the rcfpedive qualities of them ^ it being 
very probable, that, if thofe Creatures do eat of fcveral plants (eacft 
fort of thofe Infeds being efteem*d , to feed but on one fort of Vege- 
tables J thofe Plants do agree in their nature and vertues,dT,
