Verm! cuius is Paid to feed in great Numbers, before it 
changes into the Cbryfalis or Aurelia of a Lady- Cove : but 
-the Colour lies in the NympbWcrm before it turns a Beetle. 
This. gives me occafion to reflet upon the many Species 
of our European Vcrmiculi , fome of which might be 
found to yield rich Colours (if try’d,): We are certain the 
Maggot of our Ilex gives the Kermes, and a noble Scar- 
let Dye before it turns into a Fly. Many Shel'-Fifh 
("which are a fort of InfecftJ contain Purple Juices. 
This brings on another Remark I made in palling the 
Apennines and Alps, where I noted in fome Beds or Strata , 
and even in the midft of thehardell Rocks, great varie- 
ties of perfect Shells, that never occurr’d to me on the Ita- 
lian Shores, nor in any of the numerous Mufeums of that 
Country : lb I guefs they might be Exotick, 
Going further on the Via, Appia, I obferv’d abundance 
of the Siliaua Arbor or Carob Tree , commonly call'd 
Fanis S. Joannes Baptijlx ; on the Pulp whereof many poor 
People were feeding. The Husks tailed like Manna tome. 
Near them grew plenty of the Arbor Judat, 
The Arbutus, or Strawberry Tree, was common in the 
woody places ; if this grows wild in the South Weft parts 
of Ireland, as lome affirm, I lhall think them much 
warmer than any Counties of England: 
Before I enter’d the beautiful Campania of Naples large 
Woods of Cork Trees grew on each fide the Road, where 
the Inhabitants were decorticating them. 1 ask’d if the 
Trees did not perilh : they anfwer’d, fome did, but the 
Acorns return’d annual Supplies. The Women and Chil- 
dren wore Shoes made of the Bark, 
Coming near Capua 1 oblerv’d a Species of Alh, or Or- 
ms , on the Trunk whereof many Saccharin Concretions 
were vifible. This prov’d the true Manna 5 that iffhes 
out thro’ the Incifions made in this Tree by the Inhabi- 
tants of Calabria* Swarms of Cicada's were fucking the 
v Body
