you that I have feen, and when [ am (o happy as to wait ^ 
on you nexr, wall (hew you Fifhes, feme as ftpall as Cheefe- 
mites of different forts, very wonderfully made, which are 
of the cruftaceous kind, fhell'd with many joynts, with 
very long Horns, fringed Tayls. and have mmy Legs like 
Shrimps, curioufly made, an i that fomeof thefe carry their 
Eggs or Spawn under their Tayls in one Big, another fort 
in 2 diftind Bags, and fome kinds on the fringes of their 
Legs like Lobfters. But to confine my felf to the AnlmcicHU 
I was fpeaking of, becaufe you tell me your Pepper-water 
is come to a niifchance, I have inclofed foaie Scetches in 
my rude way of Dra vving, of Tome of the moft remarkable

common, and defcribed by Mr LeeHwenhAn fome of the firft 
Tranfaftjons^ but I think neither thefe, or any of the reft 
are any where pidured. I have feen the Tayls of fome of 
thefe 9 or lo times as long as their Body, (which is about 
I of an Hair* breadth Diameter)but generally they are 4 or 
5 times as long.. As they move they will oiten twich up t 
the Tayl in the pofture as marked at h, and this Spring is fo 
ftrong as when the Tayl is intangled, (as generally it is) by 
the end, they bring back their whole Body by the j^rk.and 
convolution of the Tayl, which foon returns to its firft 
ftraighcnefs. To a good Glafs the end of the Tayl feems 
to have a nob on it as in and the folding appears as in b,
