Fig. 199. reprefents another fort 6f animalcula, whofe 
head is adorned with hairs, and motion generally circu¬ 
lar, called copple crown s . A third fort reprefented at 
fig. 200. called a filver bag-pipe h . A fourth fort is a. 
kind of water fpider, with its mouth open, as at fig. 
201. Two of them are represented at fig. 202. con¬ 
joined and turning upon their common center. Fig. 
203. (hews two more of them alfo coupled as they fwim 
in a ftraight line. Another fort is reprefented at fig. 
204. in fome meafure refembling a weaver’s (buttle; its 
hinder partis tufted with hairs, which aflift him in fwim- 
ming. Fig. 205. exhibits a fwarm of exceedingly mi¬

I Nfufions made of whole white pepper, produce finer 
animalcula than the foregoing, but not in fo (hart & 
time. The large bag-pipe of this infufion advances and 
recedes by turfts, as it fwims before the microfeope ; and 
juft before the water is totally dried, a great number of 
eggs may be feen within them, and in the next mo¬ 
ment they will all be dried up, and appear like a con¬ 
futed miafs.

bore fome refemblance; which refemblauces, 1 apprehend, in lame 
caies arofe from the lively imagination and halty determination 
of Mr. joblott.
