TADPOLE. The animal called by this name is no other 

 than the frog in its firll Rate from the fpawn ; and this crea- 

 ture furnidus the curious in microfcopic obfcrvations with a 

 beautiful view of the circulation of the blood, efpecially 

 when young. 



The method of procuring them for this purpofe in the 

 greatefl perfcrtion, is this : let a fmall quantity of frog's 

 fpai\'n be kept for fome days in water, and from this will 

 be produced a vaft number of young tadpoles ; thefe, while 

 •»ery young, are perfeftly tranfparent, and when placed be- 

 fore the double microfcope, the heart may be eafily feen, 

 and its pulfation regularly obferved ; and the blood pro- 

 truded thence -may be beautifully feen circulating through 

 the whole body ; but particularly in the tail, where, though 

 fo very minute, more than fifty vefTels may be feen at one 

 view. The young brood grow more and more opaque every 

 hour, and in a day or two the circulation of the blood can 

 only be feen in their tail, or in the fins near the head. Baker's 

 Microfcope, p. 126.

TjENARIA, or Tenarium, now Cape Malapan, in Ancient 

 Geography, a promontory of the Peloponnefus, S. of La- 

 conia, between the gulf of Meflenia and that of Laconia. 

 Here wre formerly a grotto, and a temple of Neptune, which

T.ENAniUM Marmor, the name of a marble ufed by the 

 ancient architects and ftatuaries. There were two kinds of 

 it, very different in colour, but perfedlly agreeing in hard- 

 nefs, and in the high polifh they are capable of. The firft, 

 or moft frequent kind, was black, and was dug from the 

 promontory called Ttenarus, in the Lacedccmonian ftate ; 

 the other, which was more fcarce, and much more beautiful, 

 was of a green colour, with a caft of yellow ; this was dug in 

 the Tagetan quarries, and was called by fome marmor l^er- 

 tofum, and xanthon.

 ferving in lieu of a cymatium. 



The word is Greek, t'^..^, which literally denotes a 

 fiuatJyt, bandage, fillet, or the like. Barbo renders it by I'lpl, 

 but Palladio ufes the old name tuma. 



Leon Baptifta Albcrti calls the tinia, reguh, and Jaf- 



T ^ N 



c'loU; and Daviler, landeletles. Philander fays, there 

 are two kinds, ■u/'s. that above-mentioned, which he calls 

 the /owfr; and an upper, which ferves for a capital to the 

 triglyphs. 



T^NIA, in Ichthyology, the name of a fifli of the anguil- 

 liform, or eel-fliaped kind, common in the Mediterranean 

 fea, and brought to market in Italy and elfewhere. This 

 is a fpecies of cepola in the Linnxan fyllem. See Cefola. 



T-iENiA Ccrnula, the horned Itma, a name given by many 

 authors to the fpecies of cobivifl, named by Artedi, the 

 cobitis with a forked prickle placed under each eye. This

T.HNIA, in Zoology, a genus of the Inteftina order of 

 worms ; the charafters of whicli are, that the body is flat 

 and articulated, and that the head is furniflied with four 

 fuckin"- bladders. Gnielin, in his edition of the Linnsan 

 fyftem, enumerates eighty-fix fpecies, befides feveral varieties. 

 Their habitations ai-e the vifcera of men and of different 

 animals. Our limits will not allow us to fpecify and de- 

 fcribe them. For an accouat of the tsnia inteftinorum of the 

 human bodv, or lumbricus latus, we refer to TwErWorm.

No other botanift appears to have even feen a fpecimen. The 

 root is tufted, fcaly, bearing feveral fronds about a foot 

 high, leafy to the very bafe, once or Xxnce forked, and 

 rather fpreading, of a very thin membranous texture ; of a 

 fine green, and very fmooth, in front ; paler at the back, 

 clothed with reddifh pointed fcales, and furnifhed with 

 a black fhining rib. The fruH'if cation is ftationed in 

 z fonts, or line, two or three inches long, on each fide of 

 the rib, but nearer the margin, in the upper part of each 

 very acute lobe of the frond, the margin in that part being 

 even, not wavy. The want of an involucrum is only pre- 

 fumed from Plumier's figure, nor do we efteem the generic
