 that are bred in bodies notfuch as we may fuppofe 
 
 to be hatched from xh^eggso^ the like kind, that are re- 
 ceived with the food or other ways ; but of whom we can- 
 not meet with a parallel, or of the fame out of the 
 
 body, in the whole world as is known befides. Ilhall 
 inftance onely in two, the Lumbricm Latus^ and Teres. Of 
 the former *I Ihall give at prefent onely thefe remarks ,* 
 wherein it’s difference from any other does more remarka- 
 bly appear. ibeing^^^.2./<y';z^^^f after a peculiar manner.5.

 of this, or any other Infed or Animal in the World be- 
 fides; the great number ofMoa^^j- it hath; more than 
 the Poets fam’d Briarem had hands, or Argus eyes, 
 in every Joynt one* 7. That any of the body being 
 broken off from t he reft, fhould ftill remain alive , and 
 thrive. 
 
 All which particulars.^ befides what others may be added, 
 if duely confidered , wnll render it difficult to give an in- 
 ftance of the like out of the body, from whence, or from 
 the Seed of the fame, it may be any ways thought, this 
 may be propagated here. 
 
 My other Inftance is the Lumbricus teres IntefiinaUs 5 
 which tho’ it holds more analogy with thofe called lnte[H- 
 na Terrce.^ or common Earth-Wormesy as to the outward 
 fliape and form; yet within are vaftly different 5 as by 
 comparing the Anatomy of both , will appear. And I 
 very much queftion, as to the contrivance of the inward 
 Organsy whether We can meet with any parallel of it^ in 
 the World, out of the or Animal bodies, be-

 fides. For altho’ different Crimes, or different places of 
 habitation might much affed the outward ftiape, and caufe 
 a difference ; yet it is hard to conceive , how it fhould 
 Caufe fo vaft an alteration, in the moft principal inward Or- 
 gans. However tho we are gravel’d, in afligning howfirft 
 this fort oi Worm (hould come into the body i yet being 
 once there ; there is nothing more plain, than that they 
 are propagated by an univocal generation ; there being fo 
 perfedl a diftindlion of Sexes, Male and Female ; and the 
 Organs belonging to each fo curioufly contrived, fo con» 
 fpicuous and plain; that they may further illuftratethe 
 late Inventions of fome 5 and do feem to fhew^ howfol- 
 licitous Nature is in preferving , and propagating the 
 meaneft Species, Bnt as in this Worm, there is a moft 
 evident difcrimination oi Sexes s fo in Earth-worms, there 
 is nothing of this nature to be found but they are perfect 
 Hermaphrodites, each Worm having the Organs belonging 
 hQt\\ to Male 2iTid, Female which is common to them with 
 Leeches, Snails» &c. 
 
 Iftiall give the obfervaiions I have madei upon^o^/&of 
 them , fuch rather as may refpedf xhtiv Natural Hiftory, 
 and may be moft fuitable to this occafion ^ than their Me- 
 dical account > which it may be hereafter, I may more en- 
 large upon : Nor do I think this may be unferviceable to 
 our faculty ,• for fuch hints as do improve the Theory, will 
 the Praxis too. 
 
 1 (hall begin with the Joynted- Worm and (hall purfue 
 the Method 1 have already given, in more ftridly con- 
 ffdering thofe particulars^ which 1 have laid down, to dif- 
 criminate this from all other forts of Worms, And 
 the firft is, it’s being jW ; hence call’d Lumbricits Latm, 
 and by Hippocrates, TeuvU i. c, Fafcia, and by fome in 
 Englifti, the Tape-worm, This flatnefs of the body, fuffici- 
 ently diftinguilhes it from the others, which are ufually 
 bred in the body,- and are either ffiort, andfmall, and then 
 Called /ffcarides^ or longer, diSth^Teretes i which are fo

 called )»r*e^oxfiv , tho the former likewife * are round 
 too. Nor is there any out of the body that I know off, that 
 are thus flut. Sj)igelius (z) obktvcd one minmum 
 
 latum. So Platerus makes that, which he obferved to be 
 as broad as his finger. So Marcellus Donatus fb) in a Bar* 
 her ztradua, \t digit alt latitudine. Some compare ir^ 
 
 tothe bignefsofa Child’s finger, (c") rhUlbert Sara'x^enus 
 faw them digiti medij latitudmem eequantes. The breadth oi 
 this Worm is various a both in the feveral parts of the 
 body of the fame Worm •, as alfo in one Wornij compared 
 with any other. The longer the Worm is, the broader 
 ufually are the latter Joynts. That of (jd) Gul Fabrieius 
 Hddanus was grana Sexlatus » and becaufe thiSj and that 
 other of Spigelms, are often referred to 5 I ihallhere give 
 a part of the "^ figures of bc>th of them. 
 
 2. The fecond particular I obferved was it's Joynts Trom 
 thefe large inejfures of the body, a great number , or

 Worms., Leeches^ &c. . The Annuli, which make up the 
 length of the body^ are very remarkable ; but . much; dif- 
 ferent from thofe in our prefent SubjeSt ; they . being more 
 proportionate to one another^ and not of fo unequal a 
 length. And In the Teretes, znd A fcarides the {\xrhce oi 
 thebodyj feems more even, andfmooth, and not divided 
 after this manner. Thefe Joynts are fo fet on> that the 
 lines or extream edges of the former, come over the later> 
 which is to be well obferved, and may dired us ..tO: that 
 part or extream j where we may fuppbfe the head to 
 be placed. The^e edges of the former Joynts which ihoots

 drawing it through ones fingers from the Tayle to the 
 head, you will find a great roughnefs; but if the other 
 way, from the head to the tail, it feems fmooth. 
 
 g. Many, who have obferved this do take notice 
 
 cf the difference of.iVs exfreams s how much larger one is 
 then the others bur not well confidering the fetting on of 
 the Joynts, abundance have been milled into an errors by 
 taking the Head for the Tail : and fo have either miftof 
 obferving j or miferably miftaken in the defcribing the 
 Head. Thus Spigelms (e) makes the flenderer part of 
 the body to be the Tail 5 butconfefies he conld never ob- 
 ferve the head^ nor was he likely where he looked for it. 
 Amatiis Lufitanus (f; makes the head to be white, and 
 Verrucofum^ thence the body, he faith proceeded broad, 
 and grew narrower towards the T«//; which doesfufiici- 
 ently fbew his miftake ; which 1 muff needs take it to be > 
 for in all f have hitherto obferved, I conftantly found 
 that extream where the Head is fet on fif we may allow it 
 to have any) much fmaller than the other ; fometimes 
 not^alf a quarter fo broad 5 in others lefTer or greater 
 often according to the length of the Worm a But in all I 
 take notice, if they are of any confiderablelength, that 
 the Joynts towards the head are vaftly fhorter, than to- 
 wards the tail. For in tone I have by me 24 foot long, 
 there about five Joynts make an Inch 5 whereas the latter 
 Joynts here are above an Inch long ,* but in fome I have 
 taken out of dogs, there were 30 cr 40 fometimes above 
 60 Annuity which towards the Heady did make up but 
 the length of an Inch ; wher^Is towards the Hail 6 or 7 
 Joynts did equal that meafure and fometimes g, fo that 
 gradually Joynts feem to encreafe both in length, and 
 widenefsj as they approach the Tail. But withall it niuft 
 be obferved, that according to the Corrugation or exten-

 /Ion of thefe Joynts, their dimenfions will be altered; 
 which is moft apparent in them when alive. That like- 
 wife there is a great difference of thefe Joynts in the vari- 
 ous Species of this Worm ; for I think there are more forts 
 than one. And as to the differences of them there are thefe 
 I have taken notice of. i . That iu moft tht Joynts gradually, 
 and very fenfibly encreafe in length. But in a vaft quan- 
 tity of this Worm voided by a perfon here in Town, but 
 in feveral pieces, 2,3,4, or more or fewer yards long; 
 
 I obferved for a great length the Joynts much the fame ; 
 but fuppofe 1 faw here neither the head, nor Tail. 2. In 
 fome thofe orifices^ which 1 take for mouths» were placed 
 about the middle of the Joynts, onx\\tEdg^es'-, in others, 
 about the middle of the/«^ of the Worm, near the Joynt- 
 ings. 5. Thefe juttings, or lips of the upper Joynts, o- 
 ver the lower in fome, were plain*, mothers crenated; in 
 others, the great protuberatings at the fide rendered the 
 the whole Worm ferrated. 4. Ufually the fame Joynt is 
 much of a bignefs throughout j but the upper extream 
 fomething lefler than the lower. Butin oneItool#out 
 of a Dog, I obferved that towards the Tail, the upper 
 part of the Joynt, by which ’twas faftened to the foregoing 
 Joynt, was very flender,- in the middle broad, and to- 
 wards the other extream grew T aper again h fo that it did 
 well enough referable the ^figure, which ( g) Cornel Gemma jj rig, 
 has given of it ; and is borrowed, and Copyedfrom him, 
 by Mdrovaudus , Spigelius » Sennertus, and others. Not 
 that the whole Worm^ as he has made it, was fo; but one- 
 ly fome of the laft Joynts^ And in another I took out of 
 the fame Dog I could not obferve the fame thing 5 as neith- 
 er did I in a third, I rook out of another Dog, which was 
 abouMwo yards long ; whereas thefe were each but about 
 a foot or foot and half long ; And this leads me,to confider

 not that it lies extended ftreight the length of the Guts ^ as 
 thofe might think , who fondly imagined ’twas nothing 
 elfe but a Mucous (kin, or SpoUum of the fame : Butic 
 lies convoluted in feveral places^ fo that it often vaftly 
 exceeds the whole length of the Guts themfelves. Thus 
 (') Pliny remarks, that there are intra hominem Tania tri- 
 cenum pedum» aliquando ^ plurium. Platerus obferved one 
 forty foot long. 
 
 thaddaus (k} faw voided by a woman one piece 
 
 of this Worm five yards long 7 and another, above 20. 
 yards long. Yet in neither he could obferve either the 
 Head or the Tail. So that it maybe thought but fbrae 
 part of the Worm, ^nt'^hn (^) Olaus Borrichiusldls us 
 is remarkable ; that a Patient of his, in a years time^ has 
 voided 800 foot of this fort of Worm 5 but in feveral 
 pieces- and that 200 foot of it, he kept by him 5 and 
 that hitherto he has not met with the Head. For the 
 Patient obferved, that alwayes In the voiding it, he per- 
 ceived it break off*, that he has not yet come to the 
 end; and ftill goes on in voiding the fame. Which I 
 could parallel with an inftanceofaperfon herein Town, 
 once my Patient 3 who has voided vaft quantities of this 
 Worm, for feveral years together? but in feveral pieces, 
 
 2, 3, 4. Six or more yards long 3 but all put together > 
 would much exceed the length -of that of Borrichius. )

 Mkrofcopical Animalcuh^ obferved in Semine AnimaUum» 
 which according to ('"j computation, if they 
 
 were placed head to tail a great many Thoufands would 
 fcarce make the length of an Inch ,• (they being fo fmalL 
 nt jadicem (^faith hej millena millia arenam ^rmidiorem mag- 
 mudhie non cequatwra ;) we (hall find here a greater 
 difproportion in bulk , of thefe Animals, in the lejler 
 World, than between the Ant^ and Elephant^ or any 
 almoftin i\\egreater. Anditmaybe, is the only inftance 
 in Nature ot one that has no determinate bounds in it’s 
 growthiU leafl: that is known. For to be at any certainty I 
 think, is very difficult ; fince when it comes to any con- 
 fiderable length by lying in feveral Clufters, or Convoluti- 
 ons in the Inteftines; thedefcent of th^ faces efpecially 
 being quickened by a Purge, will be apt to break part off; 
 which yet ftillwill live, and grow ’till quite carried out of .. 
 the body. Befides I queftion whether all thofe pieces 
 which are voided by the fame perfon, may be all ways re 
 puted parts of the fame Worni) or of different. Indeed 
 (o) Spigelms fpends a whole Chapter to prove plures uno non 
 ?iafch nec in homine bis nafcinotatum. He quotes the Au- 
 thority of Aquarius ^ and gives his osnnreafais too^ 
 
 fince nature allwayes makes feweft ofthofe Animals, which 
 are the largeft; and thofe are alfbuniparous, not multi- 
 parous*, and he thinks either the want of food, the firaight- 
 nefs of the place, or the weaknefs of human Nature, not be- 
 ing able to bring them to perfection, and fo great a length; 
 will prevent the being of more than one. Hippocrates or

 here may be literally underftood, in refpe£t of the 31 an, 
 as well as IVorm ; Since they are obferved very often, if 
 not moft frequently in grown perfons, as alfo old men. As 
 Gabucinus mentions one troubled with them, who was 56, 
 years old ; which renders rufpefted the truth of this affer- 
 tion : And upon enquiry of the Mid wives both in 
 
 Germany^ and Italy , could never be informed that they 
 obferved thefe Worms in new born Infants. But as to 
 Spigelius his reafons, why there fhould be no more than 
 one in the body at a time ^ I fhall onely give this anfwer > 
 that upon difledion of a Dog I obferved two entire ones ; 
 but each not much above a foot long. So that that anfwer 
 he gives to that obfervation of Forefius^ who men-*

 ly parts ot the fame Worm ; tho often it may be true, yet 
 fometimes it may beotherwife; Efpecially, where we fee

 ferved it, and the Patient who voided that Worm I mention^ 
 ed to have by me eight yards long^ and was given mcby 
 my wortny Friend IVJr. an Apothecary, feemed

 tice of no fuch thing ^ and therefore am apt to think ’twas 
 onely fome Thrumbs of the inward coat of the Inteftine:, 
 which might ftick to the hooks here, which might make 
 this figure. For in the heads of all 1 have had yet an op“ 
 portunity of feeing j I could never obierve any fuch thing. 
 
 I fhall therefore now deliver my obfervations of the

 ken notice how the Joynts were, I traced it up, by care- 
 fully opening the Inteftine,to the fmalleft Extream j where 
 I expeded the head to be; and which did ly towards the 
 Duodenum \ whereas the broader end. was downward to- 
 wards the l^eSium I and this broad end w^s free, and did 
 nothing adhere ; whereas that fmaller extream did fo 
 firmly Sick, and had faften’d it felf to the inward coat of the 
 Inteftine, that it was not without fometroublej by gent- 
 ly railing it with my Nail,thatl freed it from it’s adhefion. 
 Having lifted it up, I carefully viewed it; and did obferve 
 neither that Biceps in Tulpius*^ firft figure, nor the head like 
 a Tricoccos as in Mich Fehr^ but a very flender body ; which 
 being alive, it would foraetimes fhootout a confiderable 
 length? at others retrad it in again? and fo very much 
 alter it’s figure, by becoming broader. But whilft I was 
 doing this? by it’swrigling it’s body? it happening to fall 
 off my finger ; it prefently took hold again? and gave me 
 as much trouble to freeita fecond time from it’s adhefion,

 tion^ and of the two Cinglt Joynts which were broken off, 
 which I lhall mention in my iaji particular .* as alfo of thofe 
 Orifices at the fides? which I fiiall difeourfe of in my next ; 
 and for the prefent I put it into Spirit of Wine, that 
 I might more carefully view it with a Microfcope at home. 
 And in doing this, making ufe of fome extraordinary good 
 ones? it very plainly appeared as is reprefented in my 
 Figure^ thick befet with two orders of Spikes^ oi Hooks ^ 
 whereof the larger did a rife from theCenter or Middle?

 ferve with the glafliss Joynts at all; butafrerj very 
 thick fet, and fmall, and gradually increafing in length, 
 as they defcended towards the Tail. 
 
 The of the other two Worms exadly appeared the 
 fame in the Mifcrofcope^ as this defcribed. And after- 
 wards by carefully viewing them by my naked eye, I could 
 obferve thefe hairs or Spikes. What therefore Tulpius 
 faith in his firft Obfervation of this Worm^ of the head 
 that was entire^ and not broken { and I am pretiy confident 
 w'as the onely one it had)that it w-as circa apicemfumme villo«

 paflage in Spigelius^ who having given the different opinions 
 ofothers concerning the of this Worm, adds, atnultts

 defcribed, and will hold good ; tho It Teems not much re- 
 garded by him. 
 
 It was objeded by fome ingenious perfons, who had 
 been acquainted with what I obferved concerning this head^ 
 whether thefe Spikes., or hairs might not belike the fmall 
 feet of the Tick^ or fiicinus for it’s iaftening it felf the bet- 
 ter to help it’s fudion. And indeed were it it lived

 would be apt to carry it out with themi had it not this 
 lioldj which is fo faft, that rather thanloofen it felf, parts 
 of the body are fooner broken off, which we frequently fee 
 in the ftool. When it penetrates the coat of the Inteftine 
 itcontraffs it’s^tfo-^j-in, and draws up it s head to a points 
 then expands them^ and takes firm hold of the Membrane, 
 by darting it's ^tvtxzXponiards into it 5 which excites thofe 
 intolerable pains ^ which thofe that are troubled with them, 
 fo much complain offi that I have known it to that ex- 
 tremity, that fome have been fcarce diffwaded from offer- 
 ing violence to themfelvs, to free themfelves , as they 
 thought, from a great mifery, and hence it is that this 
 Worm is of fo difficult a cure \ that tho by Medicines^ and 
 Purges, vail quantities at limes may be brought away ; yet 
 fome can hardly get a perfeff cure all their life time ; as I 
 know of one who for above twenty years has been afflided 
 with it s that has had the advice of feveral able^and eminent 
 Phyficians, And indeed all, who have wrote ofthis Worm^ 
 do make rhe fame 'PrognolhckjeJi it ; that the Story of Hippys 
 J{hegi?ms in ^ jElian is not infignificant, where he tells us ;

 I have already obferved them to be of trvo forts ^ that in

 and tho that part towards the W was very flender ; yet 
 upon Contraaion it would become as broad as the laft 
 loynts. This contraaion of the Joynts I fometimes ob- 
 ferved at feveral places at the fame time, at feme diftance 
 from one another,- which muft needs much advantage it’s 
 emotion: fi nee being of fo length, other-

 Cucurbitinisjegmentis animatis trat^ nullo paSlo mbveri^ imofub- 
 fidere. Which iaft particular if it was fo, is fomething re* 
 markable to hispurpofe; but I very much fufpc6tit ; be- 
 caufe in that I met with in a Bog in the Colledge Theater^ 
 whilftalivejandinmyhand, ajoynt or two fell ofF^ but I 
 could no waies obferve any Membrane hanging to the fore- 
 going joyntj out of which it might flip, but it broke off 
 entire. And altho there were two Single which 1 
 
 found in the Intellin, upon the firft opening it, yet there 
 was nothing 1 could fee affixt to the laft , which might in- 
 clude them. And indeed the fetting on of theyoj'w^r here.is 
 fuch, that feems to me fufficiencly to fhew. That this 
 Worm cannot be a continued membrane, articulated on\y by 
 the feveral Cucurbitini included in it , fince there is fo large 
 a protuberance of the lower Extreme of the foregoing 
 joynt, over the upper part of the following ; which t 
 plainly perceived in this Worm. If only a Membrane^ why 
 conftantly,and thus regularly a difference of both extremes^ 
 as to their length and breadth ^ How happen the hooks at the 
 head? How are thofe orifices formed at the Edges, or cn the 
 Flat of the Worm ? And if it wasfo, d^sGabucinus imagi- 
 ned , I cannot think but I muft have perceived fomething 
 of it, in thofe feveral peices ofthis^Fom, which I have 
 obferved : and efpecially in that eight Yards long,, where 
 I opi^ned feveral joynts , and could find no fuch thing. 
 That Mucous matter therefore ,whichis obferved to be 
 \ o;ded,by thofe, troubled with them ; which he tell us the 
 women there, take for the beds of this Worm,may bebet^ 
 ter accounted for i it being likely in a great raeafure to be 
 but the Mucus of the Inteftines themfelves, or a flimy Spo- 
 hum caft off from thefe Worms. Thus Leeches I have ob- 
 fer ved being put into- water, do caft out a flime, which co- 
 vers 
 
r 139 ; 
 
 vers their body's , which afterwards' they flip off, and is 
 found in the bottome ct the Glafs in the foi m ot a mucous 
 Coat. So Earth-Worms do void a large quantity ol a mu- 
 cous liquor, at feveral parts of their body ^ fo Snailesy &c- 
 of which more in my Anatomy of thofe Animals, Upon the 
 whole, I fee nothing why wemay notjuftly afcdbethat 
 hfct we find here, to the Lumbricus Latus it felf , and 
 not to any Animals^ we may fancy it pregnant with. And 
 what I do give to xhtWhok,^ I muft attribute likewife to 
 ■the feveral parts of it, even when feparated from the reft 
 of the body;, and can’t but think that they do live like- 
 wife. Not that I think Cucurbitinu are to be reck- 
 oned as the partus of the Latus \ which that paflage, in 
 Arijhtle to intimate* where he tells us that it does 
 «Vo7/itT«y olov ffuw ^ aliquid fimile femini Cucurbit(Z 
 
 park, for ® Hippocrates denyes this of the Latus ^ tho he 
 does allow it to the Teretesh where he faith 
 yl\cu<T'iKTttinvi<u’^ -^^iVieuvntTi. Neither likewife are they 
 to be thought a fourth of Worms ; as many would 
 
 have it. 
 
 But they are onely tYitJoynts or pieces broken off from 
 the Latusj and when they are voided in the Stools, are 
 afurefignofa Joynted Worm. And therar^ muft accord- 
 ingly be adapted. But that all thefe fingle Joynts ythWPt 
 in the body do Hve^ befides thofe confiderations [ have al- 
 ready delivered to prove that in every joynt there is dimouth 
 for receiving the food ; and no doubt anfwerable Organs 
 for the digeftiOD, and diftribution ofit *, fo I am the farther 
 induced to believe it; becaufe it has been often obferved 
 by my felf, and others ; that both fingle Joynts, and of- 
 tener larger. pieces have been voided alive; and where 
 vaft quantities of this Worm too have been voided at the 
 fame time; in abundance of pieces, I have obferved them 
 
 d Ari^, hifl. Anim, lib. j. e. 19.

 almoft equally turgidj and alike filled with Chyle inpra- 
 portion to the magnitude of the parts. Now I cannot 
 think that in voiding it can always be broken into fo raa« 
 ny pieces 7 and if it be done fometime before, and they 
 lye dead in the body ^ theymuftbe emacerated, anddif, 
 ferent from what they appear. But that obfervation, I 
 have already often mentioned of that Worm^ 1 met with 
 in the Dog, I diiTefted in the Theater ; doesfur- 
 
 nifli me with fomething appofite to our purpofe. For 
 hereabout the middle of the asitlayinthe Inteftine 
 
 about a foot and a half from theTayle, or lower Ex- 
 tream 5 I obferved two fingley<?j/w^j-, about I of an Inch 
 long^ alive, and which continued their motion brifkly 
 for i of an hour, or more in warm water. That thefe 
 were broken off from the I nothing queftion ^ being 
 
 in all refpedis fo like them. And that it muft be done 
 fometime before , I am apt to think, becaufe they were 
 fo remote from it. For they could not otherwife eafily, 
 being but fingle Joynts, make fo great an advance, being 
 upon all occalions liable rather to be driven down , not 
 being able as I could obferve any ways to fallen themfelvs, 
 and fo refift the force of the defeendingi^err^x. Which is 
 the reafon when broken off, they arefo frequently void' 
 ed. 
 
 Upon the whole I have been fometimes apt to think, 
 what J7ialoffy there may be between this Joynted Wurm^ and 
 knotted Plants-^ of which each Joynt can fo eafily propa- 
 gate its felf. And whether it may not be thought an Jni- 
 mol Plant’-Animal or ^kpophyton bred in Animal bodies , 
 fince fo large, and frequent detruncations of the body, 
 does not deffroy the life of the whole. VV-hich I think 
 can fcaice be inftanced in any Animal befides. 
 
 Blit my dejign \s nqlP.\itx3SCmgo^ zny Hypothecs, 
 hut the enquiring into the truth of thofe oi others. It 
 being much eafier to fpy others faults, then to avoid them 
 our felvs. In what I havefaid I have done the former , 
 
 but

 but can no ways fecure my felf as to the latter. But in the 
 whole* if I have not hit the mark % 1 have fairly aimed for 
 it, and it may be fome help, and dire£bion to others in, 
 profecution of this fubjedf. And what 1 have laid down 
 I think I have made out, howdifFerent^^^ fort of Worrm 
 bred in Animalhodys^ is from all others hitherto obferved

 be fiippofed to be propogated.
