which is but a fmali charge. And in Autumn It would 
do well to fwcep the Worms off the Walls, for being a- 
tender Infed, they are eafily kill'd. 
At the time of the Wolfs creeping up the Walls I (aw 
many fmall Animalcules of the fize of a great Sand up- 
on the Walls alfo ; they had their hinder part broad and- 
ftiort like a Loufe, and four Horns, whereof two were 
almoft as long as their whole Body, and the other two 
- n Jt above ^ of that length. Thefe Animalcules laid 
fmall Eggs, in fhape almoft of a Lemon : They were 
not long-lived, poflibly for want of their proper Food, 
for feme of them had eaten others for Hunger : Thefe 
Eggs were hatcht in May^ and the Young ones were of 
the farne fhape with their Parents, fothat thefe Infeds 
produce their like, as do Lice, Mites, Fleas, ^c. 
In Rain-water I obferved a frnall r^d Worm, and two 
other kinds of very minute Infeds ; of thofe of the 
krger fize I judged that 30000 together would not 
equal a courfe Sand. Thefe I obferved for feveral days, 
and faw them copulate, the larger dragging the finaller 
through the Water after them, Iwimming by the means 
of very fmall Finns. I faw likewife another fort of 
fmaller Infefts in the Water coupled, twenty times morei 
in number than the former. 
As to Infefts bred in Apples, I obferve that in the- 
Spring, when the Trees begin to bud, a certain black 
Fly lights on the BlofTomSjand lays its Eggs there, (our 
Gardiners fay, they come moft with a North-wind) 
others fay, they come out of the Sea : I took off from 
a Leaf an Egg laid there by what we call a Wittge; it 
was of the bignefs of a courfe Sand, its (hell after the 
Worm is put, is reprcfented Fig. 14. G H MK L bm^ 
the part whereat the Worm had made its way : Of this? 
Shell all the Rib-like parts appeared hollow, and moft 
likely are VefTels. This Infeft flies from one Bud td 
another, and I doubt not but if we. did obferve thefe
