Fig. 3. fhews one of thefe cells or pods 
opened, that its buccina may be diftinétly 
feen.

the {mali duccina, all of their natural fize. 
tn fome of the pods or cells, I found 
32, in others, only 28 ouccina: But, as 
towards the fmall end of the matrix the 
pods were lefs, and had fewer dbuccina in 
them, we may fuppofe that each pod 
might contain 25 buccma; in which cafe, 
the number in the whole matrix muft have 
béen 2350.
