ADDENDA. 
P. 5. Note after description— Since the above was printed we have been disposed to believe that Virgil 
is right, and that the fright does not proceed from the infliction of any wound. 
P.6. Note after Shies— It shows us how dangerous it is to depart from the precise language of a good 
original observer. Drydento add force and spirit to his verses has committed three great blund- 
, ers : he makes the Bots gregarious which they never are, he makes them draw blood which 
they never do, and he gives them stings which they possess not. 
P, 7* Note—Redi I since find has also noticed the Stag Rot; p. 200, Amstcrfod- 1/80; and he quotes 
Aristotle Hist Animalium Lib. 2. cap. xv, he describes them as very common in Italy, and that 
he always found from 20 to 30 in one head. He has also given a very rough figure of them. 
He says the respiratory plates are semilunar in these—in the Sheep Bot circular. 
P. 69. After natus insert—The Russian animal Saiea appears also to be infested with a cutaneous Bot, 
Which Pallas has described the larva of Spicilegia Zoologica faraeulus duodecimus, p 34; • but 
the fly he has added, is no other than the Ostrus ISqui ; it remains yet to be shewn what fly 
this larva produces* as he never could raise Ilis Carolina species appears to be the de- 
scription of two species of Cuterebra confouu The Cut, Cuniculi and cauterium.
