ed, as their bodies are harder, longer, and more 
regular. They live in the bowels of animals, by 
fea and land. Being produced by eggs, they have

nomy infpires fear and melancholy j nay, the very 
thought of fome grubs, like thefe, fuffices to make 
unpleafant impreffions. We fhall not, therefore, 
extend this defcription at the rifque of giving pain 
to delicate minds. 
Sdly. Glow-worms are hitherto very little known, 
except from the quality peculiar to them of fa-

light, particularly on the fca-fliore, in different parts 
of the globe. We can only add, that thefe finning 
worms are of various kinds, differing much in their 
form and qualities.

echinodernes, is equally beyond human comprehen- 
lion for defcribing it properly, fo far as to form a 
right judgment of all its traits. We know that, 
like others, they reproduce themfelves out of their 
feparated members. 
5thly. Teftaceous worms are covered with fliells, 
like the fnail. They open a larger field for obfer- 
. . vation.
