128 A Courfe of Expermenfi 



the Experiment was made yefterday. The 

 wounded Parts of both feemed well. 



Aprils 26.— The cut-ofF piece raifed itfelf 

 on the Tail. The old Pol)pe hung to the 

 Side of the Glafs as yefterday, and took a 

 Worm with Eagernefs. A Sort of Slime 

 or Mucus iffued from the Part where the 

 young One had been cut off, and fpread it- 

 felf in the Water like a Film or Cobweb. 

 Its Appearance was thus. 



April, 27. — The Piece cut off, which I 

 fhall now call the little Polype^ fattened by 

 its Tail to the Side of the Glafs, played its 

 Arms, and feized a Bit of Worm with 

 Greedinefs. The Parent hung as yefterday : 

 Slime ftill iflued from the wounded Place j 

 and dired:ly over-againft it appeared another 

 young One juft beginning to pufti forth. 



The little Polype being perfed needs no 

 farther Notice.
