Part I 
Of InfeUs. 
The HEAD and Fore-SECTION of the fame Animal 5 
but of one far bigger. 
The TODDY-FLY. Taurus volans Marggravii Quartos, 
or Naficomis Diceros. This here came from Guinea. Tis 
very well defcnbed by the faid Author. Except, that he 
doth not well compare the Eyes to a Hemp-feed: for they 
are not only Spherical, but as big as a well grown green 
Teas. But that fhelly-Guard, which, as it were, hoops in 
the Eye, and hides the greater part of it, unlcfsyoulay the 
Infect on his Back, might occafion his miftake. He hath 
but two Horns, yet thofe great ones. A Snout-Horn 
bended and toothed upward, and a Shoulder-Horn bended 
downward. From the end of which to the end of his 
Tail, about five inches. But he is not fo broad as the 
Great Bull-Chafer. 
Thirty or forty of thefe together, rafping or (awing off 
part of the Barque of the Toddy-Tree by the help of their 
Snout-Horn, will drink themfelves drunk with the liquor 
that flows from it: from whence dieir Englifh Name. For 
which purpofe, Nature hath well placed the Teeth of the 
faid Horn, above: for that here, the Work is not done, as 
by a Alan in flawing, by the weight of the Animal, which 
is inconfiderable 5 but by the ftrength of his Legs, which 
force the Horn upward. 
See the Deflcription of the Parts fubflerving to Generation 
in the Philof. Tranfacl. N.<g 4. Communicated by Dr. Swam¬ 
merdam. 
Two more TODDY-FLY’S, like the former. 
The RHINOCEROS BEETLE. Scarabaus Rhinoceros. 
See the Figure and Deflcription hereof in Imperati. It hath 
only one Horn upon the Nofe Handing almoft upright, 
only bended a little backward,as in the Rhinoceros 5 whence 
its Name. 
The PRICKLE-NOS’D BEETLE. Scarabaus Nafo acu- 
leato. I meet with it no where elfle. So I call it, becaufe 
that in the place of the Horn above-faid, it hath only a 
flmall fhort Prickle. The fore-Section alflo, near the Head, 
is depreflfed and fomewhat Concave. ’Tis very near as big 
as the former, and of a like Cheflnut-colour. 
The STAG-BEETLE. Cervus Volans. Defcnbed by 
Moufet , Imgerati and others. He hath his Name from 
his
