## Summary

I begin with the Division of Serpents, which I distribute into _Terrestrial_, that live upon Land only; _Aquatick_, that live in Water; and _Amphibious_, that inhabit both Elements. Under these I comprehend all the Relatives to the venomous Tribe. But how can Land-Serpents live in Water? I answer, their Bodies are equally formed for both Places.
