"rh-the PolypeJ 113 



April, 2.-— The two Parts of the Polype 

 lay this Morning very quiet, but extended 

 very much: the vv^ounded Ends of both 

 were confiderably rounded and healed, and 

 appeared in this Manner. 



Examining them again in the Afternoon, 

 the Arms on both appeared in Motion ; and 

 offering a Worm to the Head, it feized it 

 greedily and eat it. The young One on the 

 Tail- Part devoured like wife a Piece of Worm 

 much longer than itfelf : after which, both 

 were fenfibly larger than before. 



April, 3. — I found this Morning the Ex- 

 uvice of the Worms, evacuated by the two 

 Parts of the Polype and lying in the Wa- 

 ter. The wounded End of the Head-Part 

 feemed now quite well, and it appeared as 

 perfed as any other Polype : though it did 

 not raife itfelf upright on the Bottom of the 

 Glafs^ or adhere to the Side thereof by the 

 Tail, as they ufually do -, but continued ly- 

 ing in the fame Pofture as yefter^ay, only 

 fomewhat more contradted. 



I April,
