A Short Explanation of the T ABLES. XXin 
eyes, which in the male Bee are placed in 
the form of a triangle between, but lower 
than the greater eyes; but in the female and 
working bees, thefe unequal eyes appear in 
the upper part of the head. 
6b One of the greater eyes, efpecially the fu- 
perior external face of it, which.is by no 
means pointed, but of a roundifh form. 
¢ The internal inferior edge of the greater eye, 
which is fomewhat pointed, {fo as to leave an 
intermediate {pace for the reception of the 
{maller eyes, and other parts. 
d Feathered hairs, or hairs in form of feathers, 
growing in the fpace between the greater 
eyes. 
ee Hits with which both eyes are well fup- 
plied, and which too anfwer the purpofe of 
eye-brows or eye-lids. 
Sf The Antenne or little horns. 
& & Fibres of an inverted pyramidal and hexa- 
gonal form, which immediately appear on 
removing the cornea, and uvea of the eye. 
hb The upper part of the faid pyramidal fibres 
of a pretty confiderable breadth. 
z The lower part of the faid fibres, where 
they terminate in a point; likewife the in- 
ternal coat of the eye, upon which thefe 
fibres ftand. 
FIG. It, 
The difpofition or fituation of the hexagonal divi- 
Jions of the cornea. 
&k A hexagonal divifion enclofed by fix other 
fimilar divifions; and this order, or difpo- 
fition, or arrangement, obtains all over the 
cornea, and all its divifions. 
E.G Il. 
A finall portion of the Cornea, along with its 
hairs, as feen through the microfcope. 
/1] The thicknefs of the cornea, which is 
pretty confiderable. 
mmm Fairs like briftles, growing out of the 
Cornea, which they even perforate with their 
roots. Thefe hairs projeét a confiderable 
way beyond the furface of the cornea, and 
anfwer the purpofes of eye-brows and eye- 
lids? 
ABC Dy 
The cortical lower fibres of the eye. 
unn The cortical fibres of the eye, which 
lie like beams or joints on the membranes 
that fupport the upper pyramidal fibres, 
o The manner in which thefe fibres are placed 
one over another, like beams intended to 
form a raft. 
fp The brain, fituated under thefe fibres, 
ae and 
communicating with them. 
Keb Giga 
The eyes and brain, as they appear on beginning 
the diffettion of them on the lower fide. 
gq The cortical fibres of the eye, fhewing 
in what manner they lie tranfverfely or a- 
crofs, under the membranes, that fupport 
the pyramidal fibres, and are diftributed like 
the mufcular fibres in the papille of the 
kidneys. 
7 The origin of the fpinal marrow. 
ss Thecortical fubftance of the brain divided 
in the middle, and covering in part the cor- 
tical fibres of the eye. 
#¢ The manner in which the cortical fub- 
ftance of the brain, communicates at each 
fide with the fpinal marrow. 
uu The thickeft part of the cortical fibres, 
and the place where they have the moft ap- 
parent colour. 
x ‘The internal coat of the eye, fupporting the 
inverted pyramidal fibres. 
y The firft nodule or fwelling, formed by the 
{pinal marrow, after its leaving the fkuil. 
zz The pyramidal fibres of the eye, as they 
appear on each fide, when juft divefted of 
the cornea. 
BIG. VL 
The brain more accurately difplayed, 
aa "The cortical fubftance of the brain, 
fhewing, not only in what manner it com- 
municates with, but likewife {prings from 
the brain. 
6 The fecond pair of the particles of the brain, 
from which the cortical fubftance derives 
its origin, 
c¢ The firft pair of the brain’s particles, from 
which iffue dd Bipartite nerves. 
ee The fourth pair of the brain’s particles, 
fhewing likewife in what manner the par- 
ticles of every pair communicate with each 
other, 
DAB: SOM,

The genital parts of the male Bee, as they appear 
through the microfcope, | 
aa The two tefticles, 
66 The vafa deferentia, twining or curling like 
the tendrils of a vine. 
c¢ The fame veffels confiderably dilated, fo 
as to appear like a fecond pair of tefticles, 
Thefe veffels are hollow. 
dd The feminal or feed bags, into which the 
vafa deferentia, after growing narrower again, 
are inferted on each fide. 
ee The nervous root of the penis,
