( 4°i ) 
the growth of the Year 1707. thinking to find a great 
many Mites among tkofe Figs 5 but I met with but three 
or lour Mites that were living, and thofe had longer 
hairy Parts upon the hinder part of their Body, than 
I had feen on any before 5 and thofe hairy Parts were 
alfo cover’d with as many fmall Hairs, as I have faid 
before. 
In my fearch after Mites, I difcover’d a kind of Ani- 
tnalcitla that were fmaller than the afore-mention’d, and 
of a quite different Figure from the other. The Hairs 
upon the Body and Feet were very fhort 3 the Body, and 
particularly the Head, were of quite another Make 3 
for thefe had upon the fide of the Head two fhort In- 
ftruments, with which they made a very quick Motion : 
From Whence I confider’d, whether thefe Inftruments 
were not given them by Nature to convey their Food 
to their Mouths, becaufe their Head was fhorter than 
that of a Mite 3 which laft Creature is likewife the big- 
geft. I alfo confider’d, whether this little Animalcuhm 
might not be the Production of a very fmall Fly. 
I have thought fit to make a draught of the fo call’d 
little Hair of one of the afore* mention’d little Mites, 
that one might in fome meafure be able to judge how 
compleat and perfect thefe contemptible little Creatures 
are, which, when they are come to their full growth, 
the naked Eye can hardly perceive to move. 
When I communicated to a Curious Gentleman the 
fight of the hairy Parts of a Mite thro’ a Microfcope, 
be compared it to an Indian or Japan Cane with many 
Joints 3 and faid it appear’d to him, as if there were 
iharp Twiggs fpouting out of each Joint.

fides of it, juft as it appear’d to the Painter thro’ the 
Microfcope.
