lOand’ of Zehmd<) about old Lime-trees, and to live for 
fome time of a certain humour they fuck from thefe trees. 
For winter coming on, they all dye which come from 
this Lime-tree, and it feems proable, they muft defert 
thofe Trees 5 becaufe they afford them no longer nou- 
rifhment. 
Whilfl: they are Worms^i)\ej live of and in the wood 
of the Lime-tree-, but when they become Gra^oppers , 
they have need of other nourilhment then the leaves 
and humour of thefe trees. 
The ff'orm depifted lying in the ftate of transmuta- 
tion, is not eafily found, unleffe when by the force of 
winds, the T rees are torn up by the roots, or when 
the wood is felled. 
About that time this Worm light into my hands, ha- 
ving entered into the ftate of Tranfinutation and re- 
tting in it, Co that I cannot exaftly tell the very time of 
its entry into the Tranjmutation, for it had placed it felf 
in the very interiour pith of the Tree, and I found it in 
the differed wood the ftrft January^ 
As foon as I had got it, I placed it in its own earth, 
in a warm place near the fire. And the 5 ith. of the fame 
month it brought forth a Grajhopper, which caft its ftiin 
firft,and then changed its colour. For 14 dayes I gave it 
Sugar, Apples and Pairs ^ but thefe not being its meat, 
it dyed.
