three loweftPair were laid back upon its Bo¬ 
dy, and kept in a conftant Motion among the 
Hairs which cover its Belly, as if brufhing 
itfelf. Nearer the Tail appear two Bags or 
Paps, hanging down, with a round Part at the 
Extremities, fet with a few Hairs. I at firft 
imagined thefe were the Receptacles of its 
Spawn, but have fince found the Spawn pla¬

Appearance in jig. 3. 
Mr. 'Leeuwenhoek 's Painter has given us a 
very bad Figure of this Infedt; his Account
