Wherever the new vegetable embryons are fecreted, they alfo 

 find a fituation or uterus, where they can adhere and be nourifhed to 

 almoil: any number; which however is not unfupported by fome 

 analogy even in viviparous animals ; as there have been many in- 

 flances of extra-uterine fetufes, which have attached or inferted their 

 vefTels into the peritoneum, or on the vifcera of the mother, in the 

 fame manner as they naturally attach or infert them into the fides of
