at laft it brought forth an Egg, which being foft, was 
extended in its paffing through the narrow paflage, and 
th^ Du^lus it feif enlarged, as Fig. j. GHI. I fup- 
pofe that it places the Eggs by the means of this long 
flendcr Member in the creafes of the Grain, to fecure 
them the better from external Injuries. Fig, 4. £.and 
5. /. reprefents an Egg when 'tis laid and fixt down by 
a clamminefs it has when new laid : Soon after they had 
laid their Eggs the Moths dyed. 
Thofe Eggs that were laid on the z6th, of May^ by 
carrying in my Pocket next my Body in a Glafs Tube, 
were by too much heat fpoiled, the Worms that were 
in them being kill'd ; wherefore I put them in a cooler 
Pocket, and on the third of Ju?fe found fome of them 
hatcht, and the Worms creeping on the Glafs. I caufed 
one of thefe to be drawn, but not with all the Curio- 
lity of its Parts, Fig. 6. KL. The fore-part of this 
Worm was furniflit with fix Feet, as is reprefented Fig. 7. 
Mt^. The true fize of this Worm, when firft hatcht, 
was of the length of the line in Fig. 8. which was double 
the Diameter of the Egg. 
I gave them fome Grains of Wheat, wherein they 
foon houfed themfelves : The (hell of the Egg when the 
Woirm is hatcht is drawn by a much more enlarging Mi- 
crofcope, Fig. 9. iJ S T^, whereon the Net-work of 
the Veffels may be feen. 
I have obferved that of great numbers of Feathers 
fcattered by the Moths they all appeared of a different 
lhape and fize. Fig. 10. A B. C D. E F. are three of the 
largeft Feathers magnified : At the broad end they were 
fomewhat blackifb, fb that lying one over another , 
they made a black fpot. The other Feathers, as Fig.xi. 
G H, IK. L M. were white and tranfparent ; all thefe 
Feathers have their Quills, by which they are fattened 
into the Membranous Wings : Fig. 12. reprefents Ten 
diftindt Feathers differing in fize and fliape. Thofe on
