 in the cavities between the gravel, and have then

 bags. For three or four weeks they receive their 

 nourifhment from the fubftance contained in this 

 bag, till by degrees, as the fifties grow larger, the 

 bag difappears ; then they begin gradually to af- 

 fume the ftiape of fifties, and having no further 

 fuflenance from this bag, they will feek for food 

 themfelves. But as in fo fmall a compafs as this 

 breeding-trough, there cannot be a fufficient quan-

 nance, they feek for more room, where they may 

 meet with them in greater abundance ; they fol-
