mod: common Number is ten. The Colour 

 of the Arms is white. 



t 



My Second Sort were taken in a Pond at 

 Hackney^ and given me by Mr. Ell i cot, 

 at the Beginning of laft ApriL When firft 

 they came to me, they were much fmaller 

 than the Dutch ones > but by Care and good 

 Feeding are now grown rather larger than 

 they. The Tails of thefe are long, {lender 

 and tranfparent, and when placed before the 

 Micro fcope, a long ftrait Gut may plainly be 

 diftinguifhed paffing from the Body-Part or 

 Stomach to an Opening at the End thereof. 

 Thefe are rather lighter-coloured than the 

 former, and have feldom more than fix or 

 eight Arms, but thofe capable of great Ex- 

 tenfion. J-^ome Figures of them are in the 

 following Page.
