One of the Worms, when he lay ftill for TransForma* 
tion, it was the sd. of Jtme, and he continued in that 
pofture till the o^Septemher, in which pofture he is 
exprefled in the Table. 
But that fame day hebrouhgt forth an Aitimallilikcto 
a Chryfalis : as that Worm had a pair of Pincers, C> this 
A»imall was in like manner armed with Pincers, very per-
