little serpents i or Sna^s^ and indeed. Multitudes of 
them did move fo fwiftly a and did mix therhlelv^ 
fo together, that theycou’d not be counted. 
I kept many of thefe two Years, and I found them 
marked, in their Bodies ; fome with fome 
‘with Gm«, and others with Brown Jpots 5 but the great- 
eft ofthem which I keptj was of the Size andfliape, and 
variegated with Brown Jpots^ as is delineated in this 142 
table : It was very fwift and nimble, for as foon as 
I laid it down on the. Ground, it crept into it, 
and I had loft it i if I had not prefently dug it 
, up , by the help of a little Spade, I had in my 
hand. 
I kept this little Snak^ long in a Glals, filled with 
Earth and water j but at length through the great heat, 
and want of Water, he died, which I was very forry 
for having kept him fb long.
