Microfcope, are a curious fight. 
This Infeft, with the leaft touch, drops a kind of Oily

The Great BULL-CHAFER. Taurus volans maximus. 
JoJmfton out of Marggravius in foine fort defcribes four 
Species of Bull-Chafers, of which, as I take it, this is one. 
I meet alfo with the Picture of it in Olearius. (c) He hath CO Tab. 16 
three Horns. The firft is only the Snout produced and ,g " 2a 
bended upward , and is therefore moveable with the 
Head. In length, according to the figure in Olearius ( for 
it is here broken off) about an inch and * forked at the end, 
and with one upper branch a little before the Eyes. The 
Head very little. Upon his Shoulders he hath two im- 
movable or unjoynted Horns, about ? of an inch long, * 
of an inch over at the Bafe, directed forward, and with 
their points inward, like a Bulls-Horns. From the end of 
his Snout or fore-Horn to the end of his Tail he is about 
five inches long,over his Back above two and a * 3 the bigeft 
of Infetts yet known. His fore-Feet are armed with 
Spikes, as fo many Claws 3 wherewith, 'tis likely lie digs 
himfelf Buries. Of his Wings it is Obfervable, That at 
their utmoft Joynt, they are laped up, or doubled inward 
towards the Head,and fo kept fare under the Wing-Covers 3 
being, when out at their full length, almoil twice as long 
as the hinder Body or Section of the Animal. The like is 
obfervable of the Wings of fome other Beetles. His Horns, 
Legs, Back and Wing-Covers are all black 3 his Belly 
brown. 
Another Great BULL-CHAFER. Of the fame fort. 
The Lefler BULL-CHAFER. Naficornis Triceros minor, 
fo it may be called. Tis all over of a fhining-black. Above 
two inches long, almoft one broad. The Snout-Horn is 
not bended upward , as in the former , but downward, 
* ds of an inch long, and edged above. On the top of his 
Back or fore-Section he hath two other little Horns, about 
' of an inch long, thick as thofe of a Snail, and bended 
down as the former,
