lifting of one Joint, and a flender tapering 
Part articulated and briftled as the above de- 
fcribed, but of no great Length. This is 
Ihewn in the Figures, i, n, iii. In the 
Middle of the anterior Part of the Head are 
placed two very fmall and fhort Feelers. 
Its Eyes, if it has any (which I think its Ac¬

Opakenefs of the Animal. 
The Body (not reckoning the Head and 
Tail) is compofed of feven Divifions, which 
Increafe in their Breadth, but not much in 
their Length as they approach towards the 
Tail, the Body being about three Times as 
hroad at the laff of thefe Divifions as it is at 
the firft. From the firfl Divifioii next the 
Head arife two fhort Claws, terminated by a 
Hook tjiat can bend down like aClafp-Knife, 
and from every one of the other Divifions 
proceed two long Legs, each compofed of 
five Articulations, and alfo a fngle law at 
its End. In thefe Legs two Blood-Veffels 
may be difcovered, even by a Glafs that does 
not magnify very greatly : one carrying the 
Blood from and the other returning it to the 
Body. The Globules of this Blood, or ani¬ 
mal Fluid, appear about ten Times as large as 
thofe of the human Blood, and their progref-

the Globules are in the Blood of Animals
