darkeft part of the Skin, and the whitifla Parts were the 
Joints of the Animalculum. 
Thefe hairy Parts were long, and (hort} but otherwife 
of the fame Figure. I caufed one of the fhorteft of 
them to be drawn, as in Fig. 4. between G. and H. and 
I judg’d it to be about half as long as the longeft. I 
told the Man from whom 1 procured thefe AnimalcuU , 
that he muft not believe they were produced from Fat, 
but that they were generated from others of the fame 
kind, which had their beginning with all other Crea- 
tures. 
I mention’d above, that thefe AnimalcuU having 
changed their Skins, had dig’d fo deep into the Cork, 
that I could not fee them $ but upon the 8th of Sep- 
tember, I difeover’d two flying Creatures like little 
Beetles, whole fore and hinder part of their Bodies was 
black, and the middle brown, with fome Speckles : And 
they had two Shields upon their Bodies, which cover’d 
their Wings 3 and the Skins, which they had Ihed after - 1 
they came out of the Cork, lay about the Glefs. 
Now to fatisfy my felf that the faid AnimalcuU were 
changed from Worms into flying Creatures, I opened 
two of the Holes that they had made in the Cork 5 and 
obfetv’d in one of them an Animalculum lying, which 
indeed had changed its Skin, yet was not become black, 
but was ftill white, and was about the bignefs or lize of 
our common fmall Flies. 
Upon the nth of September , two more of the afore- 
mention’d AnimalcuU came out of the Cork 5 and the 
Female, which at firft was all white, and was ftill like 
an Aurelia , and ftir’d very much, became red, and then 
turn’d to a darker red; 
Upon the 17 th of the fame Month, the Aurelia had 
{bed its Skin, which was exceeding thin, and then it 
ran about the Glafs 5 but it was not arrived to that 
blacknefs which others had, that had run longer about 
the Glafs.
