Number. 110.

The Worm, of the 110th. Table, was brought in a cer∣taine Ship from New Zeland, in the West Indies, into this Country.

I found it in the bark of wood, of which Chests are wont to be made, in which is wont to be brought Sugar, out of the Indies; from that bark it hath its Originall, and doth seek nourishment; it began to undergoe the change the, 7th. of September, and remained in it to the 19th. of October, and at that time changed the skin; and with the skin the shape; by little and little, the colour, members and all the rest.

The manner of the change (as I Observed it) I have set forth in the Table, and at length, the Transformation being compleated, an Insect, (perhaps never seen in these Regions) came forth, of a wonderfull structure and shape, much unlike to the first which it had; which I have also delineated exactly.
