 in the circulating blood of their parents, they were colleded fcpa- 

 rately by appropriated glands of the male or female ; and that finally. 



their mixture in the matrix th 



w 



embryon was immediately 



fath 



d 



;enerated, refembling in fome parts the form of the 



ther parts the form of the mother, according to the quantity or ac 



ivij:y of the fibrils or molecules at the time of their conjundion. 



And laflly, that various parts of the new organizations afterward 

 cquired new appetencies, and formed molecules with 



molecules with new propen- 

 ies, and thus gradually produced other parts of the growing fetus, 

 the fkin, nails, hair, and the organs which diftinguifh the fexes.
