In th 



former the appetency refides only in the ftomach, or perhaps in thi 

 cardia ventriculi, but the obje6l confifts of inanimate matter; in thi 

 latter reciprocal appetencies and propenfities exifl in the male and fe 

 male, which mutually excite them to (

other animal fa£ls are equally analogous ; the third, which refides af 

 the upper end of theefophagus, and though it pofiefles appetency it- 

 felf, its objedl is inanimate matter ; but in laftefcent females, when 

 they give fuck to their young, there exifts a reciprocal appetency in 

 the mother to part with her milk, and in the young offspring to re- 

 ceive it. 



This then finally I conceive to be the manner of the production of 

 the lateral progeny of vegetables-. The long caudex of an exifting^ 

 bud of a tree, which cohfiitutes a finglc filament of the prefent bark,, 

 is furnifhed with glands numerous as the perfpiratlve or mucous 

 glands of animal bodies ; and that thefe are of two kinds, the one fe- 



ereting from the vegetable blood the fibrils with formative appeten- 

 cies, correfpondent to the mafculine fecretion of animals ; and the 

 other fecreting from the vegetable blood the molecules with forma- 



tive propenfities, correfpondent to the feminine fecretion of animals 

 and then that both thefe kinds of formative particles are depofited bs 

 neath the cuticle of the bark alonsr the whole courfe of it, and near
