the Water often, and fhew both Back and 
Belly, as l 2. Their Edges are fringed, as 
it were, with a great Number of exceeding- 
ly minute Feet, which are chiefly feen about 
the two Extremities : at one End there are 
likewife fome BriRles longer than the Feet, 
refembling a Tail. Their Motion is fwift; 
and by their Turns, Returns, and fudden 
Stops, they feem continually to be hunting 
about for Prey. They can employ their 
Feet in running as well as fwimming ; for 
upon putting a Hair amongR them, they 
will often creep along it from End to End, 
bending in feverai odd PoRures. 
Secondly , A pretty common Sort, whofe 
Length is about one Third of a Hair’s 
Breadth, with Tails five or fix Times as long, 
and fometimes more. Fig. II. 1. exhibits 
one of them with the Tail extended. 2. re- 
prefents another with its Tail in a Screw¬ 
like Form, as they appear very frequently. 
Sometimes, when they die Rill, they thruR 
out and pull back again a fringed or beard¬ 
ed Tongue and a Current runs conRantly 
towards them, which is caufed, probably, 
by the nimble Motion of fome minute Fins 
or Legs too fine to be difcerned. 
'thirdly , A Sort about the Size of the laR, 
but without Tails, appearing fometimes in 
an oval Shape, as Fig. III. 1. and fometimes 
a little longer, refembling a Flounder, in the 
Manner of 2. Their little Feet may be feen
