The fecond Sort of Animal I difeovered 
in this Water was about a Line in Length, 
having a large Head, with two black Eyes in 
Sockets confiderably projecting, and pretty 
long Antennae. Its Head, Body, and Tail, 
were divided like thofe of the Bee or Wafp 
Kind : from the End of the Tail iffued three 
long Branches befet with Hairs, and each ap¬ 
peared fomewhat like the Stem of a Pea¬ 
cock’s Feather : they could feparate more 
or lefs, be brought together, or move in any 
Direction that fuited the Conveniency of the 
Creature. It had fix Legs, which ferved 
either to fwim or creep, with Claws at the 
End of each. The Head, Body, and Tail, 
were covered all over with a Sort of Hair or 
Down, and under the Tail were a Couple 
of moving Parts like Fins, wherewith it 
feemed to guide its Courfe in fwimming. It 
was extremely agile.
