XXXIV A Short Explanation of the TABLES. 
b The neftitfelf. | 
¢ The Coffus, changed into a Nymph. 
Bel. sve 
The changes. vifible in the internal parts of the 
Coffus, a little before its entering the nymph 
fiate. | 
a The gullet as not yet altered, and paffing 
‘through a cleft in the marrow, while the 
Coffus continues in the Worm ftate. 
£6 The ftomach, with its appendages con- 
fiderably contracted. 
ddd The vafa varicofa feparated from the up- 
per and lower parts of the ftomach, and out 
of their natural fituation. 
é The infertion of thefe veflels; for behind 
the pylorus they open by four tubes into an 
ecphyfis. 
Jf The colon, almoft of its former fize, ow- 
ing to the contents of the ftomach and {mall 
gut being fallen into it. 
g Cells of the colon, with its ligament in the 
middle. 
b The ftraight gut. 
22 The vafa varicofa folded and coiled ina moft 
furprifing and beautiful manner againft each 
fide of the ftraight gut. 
k A rough draft of the Worm’s head. 
FIG. VI. VU. and VIII. 
A front view of the Nymph of the Coffus, and all 
ats parts, flightly expreffed by the graver, and 
defcribed by lines only, the better to fhew its 
parts. The eighth figure reprefents the lower 
parts of the Coffus's head, that the changes it 
undergoes may be the better comprehended. 
@a The horn growing on the nofe. 
& The root of the faid horn; which in the 
Beetle is covered on its lower part with fome 
{tiff red hairs. This part grows in the nofe 
of the Coffus. 
¢ ¢ Two fpherical tubercles, being the remains 
of the Coffus’s teeth dd. Fig. VII. And 
therefore thefe teeth are four times {maller 
in the Beetle, than they were in the Coffus. 
dd The teeth of the Coffus. 
ee Two pair of tubercles like the former, be- 
ing the remains of the Coffus’s horns f f 
Thefe tubercles are of quite another form in 
the Beetle. . 
Ff The Coffus’s two horns. 
g g Twotubercles of a more oval form, grown _ 
from the articulated briftles of the Coffus 4 4, 
and afterwards vifible in the Beetle itfelf. 
bb The articulated briftles of the Coffus. 
z Three beautiful globules placed in the middle, 
and growing from the particles of the Coffus 
marked &. Thefe globules are likewife of 
another figure in the Beetle. 
k The four briftles of the Coffus, already taken 
notice of. 
1 The greateft {pherical divifion of the Nymph, 
which in the Beetle confifts of a horny bone, 
and is covered with hair on each fide. 
‘mm The breatt bone. . 
11 The firft pair of legs. 
22 The fecond pair. 
3 3 The third pair, with its joints 
an ‘The fheaths of the wings. 
00 A {mall portion of the wings themfelves. 
pp The abdominal rings. 
q The two fhield-like parts of the anus. 
ely Gi IX: 
A back view of the Coffus, fhewing the fourteen 
annular incifions of its body, and the tranfpofi- 
tion of its breathing-holes. 
1 The firft ring of the body, now armed with 
a horn on the head. 
21 The fecond ring, in which the firft pair of 
breathing-holes is feated under the fore legs, 
one at cach fide of the thorax. 
3 4 The third and fourth ring, which form 
but one ring, and may be faid to conftitute 
the hinder part of the thorax. 
5 2 The fifth ring, in which the fecond pair 
of breathing-holes is feated under the wings, 
one at each fide. art: 
6 3 The fixthring, in which the third pair of 
breathing-holes externally appears, one at a 
fide, on the borders of the belly. 
74 The feventh ring, and fourth breathing- 
hole. 
8 5 Theeighth ring, and fifth breathing-hole. 
96 ' The ninth and tenth ring, and fixth 
and 6 and feventh breathing-holes, all very 
10 7 diftinctin the Coffus, but in the Beetle 
pretty clofely united. 
10 8 )} The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth 
12 9 f tings, which now in a manner form 
13 but one ring. The eighth pair of 
breathing-holes, placed on the eleventh ring, 
is almoft clofed up inthe Nymph. And the 
ninth pair, which in the Coffus appeared in 
the twelfth ring, is no longer to be feen in 
its Nymph. 
14 The fourteenth ring, vifible only in the 
belly, between the two fhield-like parts. I 
here only mark its fituation. 
TAB. XXIX. 
PeeGeerd, 
The Caterpillar of the fuift Butterfly, 
@ Itshead, and fome of the hairs growing on 
its forehead or forepart; likewife its two 
teeth. 
5 Its breaft. ¢ Its belly. 
d Its tail, in which are feen its two hinder legs. 
_-é€ The extremity of the tail, ending in a point. 
Neither the breathing-holes, the fore, or 
middle part, are to be feen in this Cater- 
pillar,
