had feen the circulation in other Creatures, for whereas o- 
ther Animals will not eafily be brought to lye ftill any con- 
(iderabJe time, and will not live loig when expofed to a 
Microfcope, this lay alv/ays in the pofture it was placed, 
and the motion of/ the Blood continued wkh little alterati- 
on 6 or 7 hours, only by keeping the Objeft moiftened with 
Sea-water, and might have laded much longer if I had not 
thrown it av/ay. I repeated the fame Experiment for 2 or 
3 days with fome of the remaining Mufcks, with little dif- 
tbrence in the Succefs. 
The other day 1 fpyed running among fome Fruit, a fmall 
Worm which I could perceive to have a multitude of Legs^ 
it was not half an Inch long, and the Body not tJiicker than 
an Hog*s Briftle. This I put alive into a fmall Tube, and 
found it a perfeft Scolopendra^ whofe Body was made up of 
6o Incifures, at every one of which wps a pair of Legs (one 
on each fide) and each Leg had five Articulations. On his 
iJead were a Horns, each of i6 Joynts, and under it a pair 
of terrible f^orcipes, red, crooked, and pointed like the Ta- 
lons of an Hawk, and I often faw him open and (hut them, 
and wipe his Horns tbro' them. Thefe Forcipes are not 
unlike, and probably for the fame U(e as thofe on the Head 
of a Spider, but rhey are diflScultly feen (becaufe generally 
kept clofc) in a living Spider, but you may readily find 
them opened, and in their perfeft Shape, in the Spider's Ex- 
nvf£, or caft Coat^. 
This Subjeft reminds me of a fmall black flat T/ry^, which 
(after walking in a Thicker) I found flicking on my Arm, 
^nd it had got its iorepart fo far into the Skin, that I had 
much ado to feparate it with the point of a Needle, fo as 
to preferve it intire and unhurt. I obferved the Snout of 
B. this to be fhaped not very unlike the jagged Frohofcis of the 
Serra Plfds. The forepart of it a being like the end of a 
broad- pointed Sword, is clear and tranfparent, and has 3 
Teeth on each edge, below which there comes out another 
ferratcd part bh on each fide almoft at right Angles 5 but
