30 ESSAYS AND OBSERVATIONS 



Fig. 4.. exhibits feveral different views of 

 the fmall buccina, all of their natural fize. 



In feme of the pods or cells, I found 32, 

 in others, only 28 buccina : but, as towards 

 the fmall end of the matrix the pods were 

 lefs, and had fewer buccina in them, we may 

 fuppofe that each pod might contain 25 buc- 

 cina; in which cafe, the number in the 

 whole matrix muft have been 2350-.
