ms . Bolt. 64. : 
Mr. Bolton thinks this the same as his pl. 63, and says he 
finds no. distinction between them except in colour. If so, the 
dissections have been made carelessly, for the gills in this are 
drawn remarkably distant from the stem, whilst in pl. 4, and pl. 
63, they are drawn as fixed to the stem. Perhaps however heis 
right, and the dissected figure may have been drawn from a 
plant in a weak or decaying state, when the gills may have.se- 
parated fromthe stem. “I suspect that the whole plant was in a 
diseased state.
