The 11 th oijune^ looking upon this water afrelli, I faw the 
faid little creatures again, but there were then but very few of 
them* 
The r i.th, I faw them as rheday before ; bcfides, I tookno» 
tice of one figured likeaMufTel-fliell, with its hollow- fidedown- 
wards, & it was of a length equal to the eye of a loufe. 
The i^tb 5 early, I difcover'd the extream fniall creatures in 
greater number, and among them \ faw a bigger one, as I did be- 
fore. In the evening of the fame day I faw the fame very fmall 
infefts again in no lefs number, taking notice, that the fame had 
a tranfparent part ftandingcur behind ; I difcover'd alfofome 
little animals which were fomewhac longer than an oval, and 
thefe were about fix times as big as the extream fmall creatures: 
Theirhead, which run out fomewhat in length, they often drew 
in, and then appeared to be almoft round I perceived alfo fome 
that were altogether round , and th^axis of thefe was twice as 
long as that of the fmalleft creatures. Ihefe^wo greater forts 
were very flexile, fo that their body did bend at the touch of 
the leaft and fineft filament 
The J^oijune ! perceived theoval infefts in greater plenty. 
The 1 6j faw them in yet greater numbers; and they were flat 
beneath^and round above , and befides,! noted very fmali crea- 
tures, that were three times as long as they were broad: And di- 
vers other forts, too long ro defcribe here. And in the evening 
of the fame day , I difcover'd little feet in the fmall oval crea- 
tures, which were many in number s as alfo a much bigger crea- 
ture of the fame figure, which was likeivifefurniflied with legs. 
And here J gave over my Obfervarions as to this water.

The r of this month of J;^;;^ it rained very hard ; and I 
catched fome of that Rain-water jn anew Porcelain di(h, which 
had never been ufed before, but found no living creatures at all 
in it, but many terreftr ial particles,and, among others, fuch as I 
thoughtxame from the fmoak of Smiths coals, and fome thin 
thrids, ten times thinner than the thrid of a Silk-worm, which 
feem'd to be made up of globuls ; and where they lay thick up- 
on one another, they ha^ a green colour* 
Th^ 26th, having been eight days out of Town, and kept my 
Study Chut up clofe,whenI was come home and did view the faid 
water/I perceived feveral mimalcula^thzt were very foiall.And
