Dear Sir, 
King-Street,, Covent-Garden, 
December 2, 1763. 
Read Feb. 2, F g 1 ' H E honour I received, bybeingelec- 
ted a fellow of the Royal Society, 
excites me through gratitude to offer that learned 
body whatever occurs to me new, or worthy atten- 
tion in the animal world ; and the refpedt I bear you, 
dearlir, for your learning and goodnefs, to which I muff 
add your having been fo ufeful a member of that 
learned body luch a number of years, and the encou- 
ragement you have conffantly (hewn towards promot- 
ing natural hiffory, emboldens me to tranfmit to you 
this paper containing the defcriptions of a very lingular 
fpecies of Wafp and of Locuft, [T ab. VI.] which! met 
with in the Hand of Jamaica. I made what fearch I 
could in the natural hifforians, butcannot find that they 
have ever been taken notice of, therefore are as yet un- 
known to the learned, or non-defcripts. I therefore 
offer them by your means to the infpedtion of the 
Royal Society, to be inferted in the Tran factions, 
if deemed worthy their attention. I beg leave 
to accompany thefe defcriptions not only with the 
fubje&s
