Creatures, to wit, that thefe Creatures bring forth 
young without any Copulation with Males, afterwards 
caft their Skins, and from Creeping Infers become Flies, 
which, .when beholds them with the naked Eye, 
one would not imagine to proceed from fach a Change, 
for they are twice as long, reckoning their Wings, af- 
ter they are turn'd to Flies as before. 
Now as thefe Creatures turn from Creeping into 
Flying,after that they have brought forth many young, 
fo we may imagin it to proceed with the Creatures in 
the Male Seed 5 to wit, the Male Creatures being in the 
Tefticles leave behind them, e're that they come out, a 
Seminal Matter, orelfe young Creatures without Copu- 
lation, and that the full grown Male-Seed-Creatures be- 
ing injefted into the Matrix,and there receiving nonriQi- 
ment, affiime a Figure like to thofe Creatures from 
whence they ilTued 5 or to thofe, into whofe Matrices 
they are injeded 5 but this change upon the account

for if one fliould go to remove one of t|iefe little Crea- 
tures with a Needle or a Pin, 'tis odds but one hurts 
the others that are (hut up in the Bellies of the dead 
ones., . 
Thefe Pieces of Leaves, whereon the dead Creatures 
lay, I put into a great wide Glafs Tube, covered at 
both ends with fine Linnen^ for I concluded that the 
death, of thofe Lice was occafioned by another Crea- 
ture,
