Araongft the different Winding! and Inflexions of^ 
the Tails of thefe Worms, I ordered the Limner to take 
that which is reprefented by Fig, 4. L M N O, in the 
Body of which we obferv u a dark and longifti Plek. 
Near the afore-mention'd Creature lay another, de- 
fcrib'd by Fig. 5; P Q'R. S, of which as well as he 
could he drew the parts of the Body P Q,v as alfo tlie ' 
crooked bending Tail PR S, 
Then I iaw two other Worms near thefd, which a* 
Credulous perfon would have faid were two Creatures^ 
with one Tail, but I aflur'd my felf that a part of the* 
Tail was hid under the others, and that it wasimpoffi- 
ble to diftinguifn them, and befides they were- too big' 
for one Tail 5 in another place I faw two other Wormr 
lying much after the fame manner, but I could perceive^ 
diftinftly their two Tails. Fig. 6. T V W X (hows you 
the two Worms laft- mentioned, and W X their joynei 
Tails. 
I have often feen 8 "or 10 of thefe Creatures lying fo^ 
clofe to one another that many would have believed ir 
was but one Body 3 but I, that am no Credulous per- 
fon, ftood gazing on them fo long, tilF at laft I could 
diftinguifli not only their leveral Bodies, but alfo thei? 
Tails, 
By Fig. 7. A BCD the aforefaid Author defcribe§ 
the Worms of his obferving, of which A B C is the 
Body, whiclimuft needs appear fo long, if one ufes 
fuch a fort of a Glafs bubble as he fays he did, and 
when the Rays of Sight of his Glafs fall upon the up- 
per part of the Body 5 but if he will look deeper into 
it, the Body will appear much Broader. 
As for the Tail of his Worm, how can the Ail^ 
perfeft Being Create fuch a thing as the end of that ' 
Tail D appears 5 and if it were lb ftiaped , it would 
be impoffible for the Worm to move fo nimbly in flicii 
a flimy matter;^ neither could they ftrike it out; as they 
always do in fwiraming? T#
