fome particular Food, fuch as Weeds, ^c, 

 and that they would lofe it upon being kept 

 to Worms ; but I find myfelf miftaken, for 

 they retain their Greennefs after fome Months 

 as well as ever, and are now grown of a 

 moderate. Size, extending fometimes three 

 quarters of an Inch ; their Arms are alfo 

 lengthened very much to what they were, 

 and are of a lighter Green than the Body, 

 their Number eight, nine, or ten. The Tail 

 is very little flenderer than the Body, but 

 more fpread at the End than theTails of other 

 Kinds. 



My Fourth Sort, are fome of the long- 

 armed Ones, which you, Sir, received at the 

 End oi Jul)\ from Mr. Trembley, and, 

 the next Day after their Arrival, was fo good 

 to prefent to me. Thefe are the lighteiT: co- 

 loured I have yet feen, being when hungry, 

 and extended, almoft quite white; and when 

 full, of a kind of Pink Colour: both which 

 Appearances I impute to the exceeding Thin- 

 nefs of their Skin. In all Polypes^ when 

 f rft a Worm is fwallowed, the Shape of it 

 may be feen (and that doubled moft com- 

 monly) in the Stomach: but after a little 



i while.
