I HereI here send you inclosed the figures of our Connough-worm, which is reported to be the only poysonous Animal in our Kingdome; but whether it be really so, or not, I cannot assert on my own experience. That from which the figures were taken, was sent alive to me, from the Country, about 40. miles from Dublin. The Gentleman that sent it, had kept it above six weeks in a large Box on a Grassy sod, now and then giving it a fresh sod, and Ragwort to eat, besprinkling them with Dew. Before I could get the figures taken, the creature was so unquiet, I was forced to stifle it, as Huswives do their Bees, with the fume of sulphur. When the Gentleman first took it, it was much smaller then when he sent it to me, proposing some Queries to him concerning it, the chief whereof were, whether he had any certain Experiment to prove them Venemous? What Symptomes attended the Beasts affected by them? And what cures were applyed to them?
