between the Wing-fhells. The Legs are much broken, 
on the third Joynts, at leaft of four of them, grow a pair 
of black (harp Prickles about the length and thicknefs of 
the fling of a Bee. But that which is moll remarkable, is 
a flrong and Iharp Spike or Needle which Hands horizon¬ 
tally on his fore-Belly, and with its point towards the Tail. 
His Wing-fhells are carry’d down confiderably below his 
Belly: fo that being turned on his Back, he looks as if he 
lay in a Boat.

the Notonecla (whereof prefently) to fwirn on his Back. 
In which poflure, in cafe of an approaching enemy, the 
aforefaid Needle is alfo ready for his defence;
