on each fide, of the like fhape and bignefs, but of the colour 
of Copper or tarnifh'd Brafs. The Back and Sides are

The Teeth of this Animal,are faid by all to be venimous.

The middle Bald G ALLY-WORM. Julus glaber. They 
have commonly betwixt forty and fifty Legs on a fide 
anfwering to fo many cruftaceous Rings , with fome 
refemblance to a Triremis-^ whence Moufet gives it the

• The SILK-WORME. Bombyx. The full Hiftory hereof f ' m

the feveral changes he undergoes while a Worme , and 
while transformed into an Amelia, and thence a Butterfly, 
with the bufmefs of Generation afterwards. But princi-

the Worme. And in the Butterfly, the Penis, Par aft at a and 
Tefticles of the Male 3 and the Womb and Ovarium of the 
Female. Particularly , of the Lungs, he faith, That the 
SilkzWorm hath not only thefe, or Parts analogous, but 
that almoft every Ring hath two pair, which are branched

being remarquable, by fo many little black Circles which 
encompafs them, on the fides of the Worme. If any of thefe 
Orifices be oiled over, fo as to exclude the Aer, the Parts 
to which they belong, prefently grow Paralytic^ and if 
all, the Worm will die within the fpace of a Pater Nofter. 
Of the Medulla Spinalis , he faith to this purpofe, That, 
from the Head to the Tail, there are about thirteen large 
Nodes therein 3 which he conceives to be, as it were, fo 
many little Brains 3 the Worme having no vifible Brain 
diftinct from thefe Nodes.
