1 have obferved another Species of the 
SquiUa fomewhat different from the former: 
they are conflantly hunting about in qued of 
Prey, fwimming by the Aiddance of their 
Legs in an horizontal Pofition. I put fe- 
veral of both Sorts into a Jar of Water to¬ 
gether, but the drd-defcribed quickly de¬ 
voured all the lad, though fome of them

Hhe Bristled Insect, 
UMB. v. Plate XIV. reprefents a fmalt 
crudaceous Infedt which was found 
crawling on a Brick Wall, June 3 oth 1746. 
Its general Appearance was fomewhat like 
that of the Millepes , Sow or Wood-Poufe; but 
befides its being covered with Bridles, where- 
* The chief Difference between thefe two Sorts of 
Squill#, both of which I am acquainted with, confifts it\ 
the arming of the Head; which in the voracious Species 
is furnilhed with only a ftrong hooked Pair of plain fmooth 
Forceps, like thofe of a third Sort fhewn in this fame Plate 
N° xvi. and again more magnified as Jig. S : but having no 
Snout between the Forceps as there is at S. —The Head of 
the more gentle Sort is like N° iv. juft now defcribed, 
having ferrated Forceps, and an additional Pair of Claws, 
(nay in fome Species even two Pair of Claws) about the 
Head to affift the Forceps: Thefe feed on Pulices aquatici* * 
and other fuch fmall lnfedts, whereas the firft mentioned 
Species prey on Worms, Tadpoles, Newts, Fifties, &c, 
as
