toife, are often .to be feen about the Legs of 
Spiders. Whilft the Spider lives they cling 
clofely to it, but if it dies they leave it, 
Whitifh Lice are frequently to be difcover- 
ed running very nimbly on Humble-Bees : 
I have feen them frequently on Ants: many 
Kinds are difcoverable on Fifties: Kircher 
fays he has found Lice on Fleas ; and proba¬ 
bly very few Creatures are free from them. 
As fome may be delirous to know what 
Kinds of Lice * Seignor Redi has obferved 
and given Drawings of, the following Lift 
is inferted to fatisfy their Curiofity. Lice 
found on the Hawk, three Sorts : on the 
large Pigeon, the Turtle-Dove, the Hen, 
the Starling, the Crane : on the Moor-Hen 
three Sorts : on the Magpie, the Heron, 
the lefter Heron, the Swan, the Turkish 
Duck, the Sea-Mew, the finaller Swan : on 
the wild Goofe two Sorts: on the Teal, the 
Kaflrel, the Peacock, the white Peacock, 
the Capon, the Crow, the white Starling : 
on Sweetmeats and Drugs : on Men two 
Sorts, namely, the common Loufe and the 
# Redi calls the Vermin on Bealls Pediculi, or Lice ; thofe 
on Birds Pnlzces, or Fleas. He fays every Kind of Bird has 
its particular Sort of Fleas, different from thofe of other Birds: 
that all when fir ft hatched are white, but gradually acquire 
a Colour like the Feathers they live among; yet remain 
transparent enough for a good Microfcope to difcover the Mo¬ 
tions of their Inteftines : that the Crane has a white Sort, 
marked as it were with Arabic Characters : and that their 
Size is not proportioned to the Birds they breed upon, for 
the little Black-Bird has Fisas as large as the Szvan.
