^n the Polype. 1^7 



Cbmmonly in the exadl Figure of a Star- 

 Fifh with nine Radii: See A. 



Obferving it again towards Evening, I 

 found it had turned itfelf on one Side, where- 

 by it gave me an Opportunity of difcerning 

 a very fhort pellucid little Body grown from 

 its Head-Part. The Arms were much 

 ftretched out and in continual Motion, which 

 (eemed owing in fome meafure to Multi- 

 tudes of Lice tormenting it. 



The Figure of it is fhewn at B. 







June, 15. — The Polype flood upright to 

 day, ftretching out and waving its Arms 

 about in the Water, and feized a Worm 

 with Greedinefs, which it foon killed and 

 fucked the Blood out of : but none of the 

 fubftantial Part feemed to be fwallowed by 

 it. The Body was a little longer than 

 yefterday, but ilill very fliort and fmall. 



By the Affiftaace of a fine Hair Pencil I 

 brurfied off Abundance of the Lice which 

 fwarmed every where about it; and after 

 wafhing it three Times in clean Water, it 

 appear 'd relieved and eafy.
