Part I 
The HEAD and Forc-SECTION of the fame Animal 5 
but of one far bigger. 
The TODDY-FLY. Taurws volans Marggravii Quartus, 
or Naficonm Diceros. This here came from Guinea, >Tis 
very well defcnbed by the faid Author. Except, that he 
doth not well compare the Eyes to a Hemp-fee d : for they 
are not only Spherical, but as big as a well grown green 
Teas. But that ihelly-Guard, which, as it were, hoops in 
the Eye, and hides the greater part of it, unlcfs you lay the 
fafell on his Back, might occafion his miftake. He hath 
but two Horns , yet thofe great ones. A Snout-Horn 
bended and toothed upward, and a Shoulder-Horn bended 
downward. From the end of which to the end of his 
Tail, about five inches. But he is not fo broad as the 
Great Bull-Chafer. 
Thirty or forty of thefe together, rafping or fawing off 
part of the Barque of the Toddy-Tree by the help of their 
Snout-Horn, will drink themfelves drunk with the liquor 
that flows from it : from whence their Englifh Name. For 
which purpofe, Nature hath well placed the Teeth of the 
faid Horn, above : for that here, the Work is not done, as 
by a Man in fawing, by the weight of the Animal, which 
is inconfiderable 3 but by the ftrength of his Legs, which 
force the Horn upward. 
See the Defcription of the Parts fubferving to Generation 
in the Philof. Tranfatl. Communicated by Dr. Siva??i- 
merdam. 
Two more TODDY-FLY'S, like the former. 
The RHINOCEROS BEETLE. Scarabaus Rhinoceros, 
See the Figure and Defcription hereof in Imperati. It hath 
only one Horn upon the Nofe (landing almoft upright, 
only bended a little backward,as in the Rhinoceros 5 whence 
its Name. 
The PRICKLE-NOSD BEETLE. Scarab*™ Nafo acu- 
leato. I meet with it no where elfe. So I call it, becaufe 
that in the place of the Horn above-faid, it hath only a 
fmall fhort Prickle. The fore-Seclion alfo, near the Head, 
is deprefled and fomwhat . Concave. 'Tis very near as big 
as the former, and of a like Chefnut-colour. 
The STAG-BEETLE. Cervm Volans. Defcnbed by 
Moufet, Imperati and others. He hath his Name from 
his
