at firft i did not obferve that hole was by it^ but taKe- 
ing it out, I made all plain again. 
The next time I looked at it, I obferved, that it had’ 
thruft its body again into the earth, and I took it out a« 
gain ; but the time feeing it again in the hole, I let 
it alone, 8c did obferve not-a*few Eggs ^ which it had 
layed in the hole, Yellowifh like grains of Sand„ 
thick compafted^asin the T^Wejthey aredepifted. When 
this Animall had layed its feed, it wasas little again, as 
it had been,juft before* for it cou’dfcarce draw irs load- 
cn and big body , and now it became more Jgi/ij and 
eat more meat 5^ and greedilier,rhen before : alfo in a 
night, the hinder part of the body was extreamly (hrunk 
up, and ftiortned by the halfe ; it flept at the leaft 1 3r 
hours daily, as oft as it awaked, it devoured its ufuall' 
food, which I gave it, greedily. 
And the 2d. of June , I found it again crept with the 
hinder part of the body into the earthjcontinnaly beat- 
ing the earth therewith, that it might more eafily lay 
its feed (^c. 
After this manner it placed its feed upon the earth 
the 2d. time, in the fame form as thefirft; but that 
being done, it lived not long after 3 for when the leaves 
of Anemony did wither, it died with hunger? without 
doubt. 
From the feed of this Animall, which was fir ft layed^, 
many very little Worses hatched.^not thicker, then , 
horfe-hairs : But of y»»e,ihev crept fvvifcly,ani 
were as big as Muftard-feed, had fix feet and 2 horns. 
The greateft part of thefe Worms being numbred, ! 
found them 2k>oYQTwo ThoHfand: h\Jit I believe there 
were 5 Thonfind: 
The feed which it layed the Second time, the 29 of 
June produced alfo many Worms^ juft like the former.^ 
but not fo many in number, to fatisfie my curiofity, I 
look them up on my Pencil) point, a little wetted, one 
by.
