392 ANIMAL REPRODUCTIONS, 
Experiment I. The right arm and left les 
amputated. —On the fixth of June, I cut the right 
arm and left leg off a large newt, very near the- 
body. A ftream of florid blood fpouted'a mi 
nute and a half from each wound ; however, the 
veffels foon clofed, and the newt was apparently 
as well as thofe unmutilated. But it will eafily 
occur that it-did not fwim with equal facility.

increafed; and, on the 14.0f July, appeared fuck 
as fig. 1, c,¢, plate 9. 
‘he two papillae continued growing on the 
fubfequent days, but more in length than thick- 
nefs. They became minute ftumps; and; ‘on 
ihe firft of Auguift, were about two lines lone. 
Fig. 2, 3, reprefents the natural fize: the trunk 
t,t, which has grown none, and is of a much 
darker colour, is clearly diftinguifhed from the 
reproductions, b,c. A kind of cleft, 5 hardly 
perceptible, announces the appearance of two 
toes, which nature labours to produce, or rather 
to expand, on the new foot. No cleft appears on, 
the originating arm. 
‘The two toes were eafily recognifed on the & 
yenth. ‘They were real miniatures, and truly
