his two Horns, which are branched like thofe of a Stag: 
but yet moveable. His Head is very big and broad 5 ratably, 
far bigger than in any other known Beetle,much exceedin'! 
the bignefs even of the forc-Scdfion. Under his fore-Feet, 
he hath Tufts of fhort brown Hair. His Wings are" 
doubled up inward and towards the Head, as in the Great 
BuU-Cbafer. From the Tips of his Horns (which are about 
an inch long) to the end of his Tail, above three inches in 
length; 
His Horns being moveable, he ufeth them to catch 
hold with, as a Lobfter doth with his Claws. For which pur-” 
pofe,they are not only branched inwardly, but alfo toothed 1 
■with a numerous Series of little knobs,by which to take the 
furer hold.

The little THREE-HORNED BEETLE. Scarabaus 
Triceros minor. Moufet feems to deferibe it by the Name 
of Rvuph 5 but imperfectly. His Head is guarded with 
two Shoulder-Horns, and one in the Neck between them, 
not in his Forehead, as Moufet miftakes. They are all three 
immoveable or unjoynted, of the thicknefs of a little Pin, 
or the bignefs of ihort Goofeberry Thorns. That in the 
middle hands reared upward, the other two are bended a 
little downward. In all other parts ’tis lhaped like the Sea-
