A Girle in Sheffield about eight months old was surprized with violent vomiting Fits, which held her for about a week, and made her so weak, that her Parents began to despair of her recovery. They at length sent for Mr. Fisher, who chanced amongst other things to say, Worm-wood was good for the Stomach. He going home to fetch things proper on that occasion, they in the mean time offer'd her some Wormwood-Ale, which she took so greedily, that she swallowed down a pint of it. Mr. Fisher at his return found her vomiting, and she vomited up in his presence three Hexadodes, of this bigness and shape; (See Fig. 2.) all very active and nimble. The Girle in a short time recovered, and was well. Mr. Fisher in the afternoon brought the Hexadodes to me; we killed one of them with trying Experiments upon it. I remembring, I had seen some very like them, which devoured the skins of such Birds as I kept dried for Mr. Willoughby, I gave either of the surviving Hexadodes the head of a shining Atricapella, which in about five weeks time they eat up, bones, feathers and all, except the extremities of the feathers and the beaks. I desiring to see, what (394) they would turn into, gave them a piece of Larus, but that, it seems, agreed not so well with them, for they died within two daies.
