0 / the Snail* 
T HE * Snail has four Eyes, at the End 
of optic Nerves, fheathed in her Horns, 
which ihe can draw in or thruft out, turn 
or diredt, as fixe finds moil convenient. 
When the Homs are out, cut oif nimbly 
the Extremity of one of them, and placing 
it before the Microfcope , you may difcover 
the black Spot at the End to be really a 
Semiglobular Eye . 
The Difiedtion of this Animal is very cu*» 
rious; for the Microfcope does not only £hew 
the Heart beating juft againft a round Hole 
near the Neck, which feems the Place of 
Refpiration ; but aifo the Liver, Spleen, 
Stomach, Veins, Arteries, Guts, Mouth, and 
Teeth. The Guts are green, from the Crea¬ 
ture’s eating Herbs, and branched ail over 
with fine capillary white Veins. The Mouth 
is like a Hare’s or Rabbet’s, with four or fix 
Needle-Teeth refembling thofe of Leeches , 
and of a Subftance like Horn. 
Snails are all Hermaphrodites , having 
both Sexes united in each Individual. They 
lay their Eggs with great Care in the Earth |
