appoiiilcJ maeilio (Ti capella to the duke of Brunfwick, for 

 whofe court he iirfl compofed " Andromache," and in 1775 

 " Rinaldo." His fubfequent produttioiis were unknown to 

 Gerber. In Italy, Tozzi has two operas recorded ; " Ti- 

 grane" in 1762, and " L'Innocenza vindicata" in 1763. 



TOZZI A, in Botany, received its name from Micheli, 

 in honour of the reverend father Bruno Tozzi, abbot of 

 VaUumbrofa, wlio found this rare and curious plant, on the 

 alpine heights of Tufcany, above the celebrated and roman- 

 tic fohtude, where his abbey is fituated. This learned ec- 

 clefiaftic, unlike many of his monkifh brethren, delighted 

 to adore his Creator through his works, and was the chear- 

 ful and welcome companion of Micheli, in many of his bo- 

 tanical excurfions, over the Italian alps, as well as along the 

 ftiores of the Mediterranean. He was a fellow of the Royal 

 Society of London, and of the Botanical Society of Flo- 

 rence. A number of figures of rare Tufcan Orch'ideti, 

 drawn by him, may be leen in Petiver's Works, vol. i.

Gen. Ch. Cal. Perianth inferior, of one leaf, tubular, 

 very (hort, five-toothed, permanent. Cor. of one petal, 

 ringent ; tube cylindrical, longer than the calyx ; limb 

 fpreading ; its upper lip in two, lower in three, fegments, 

 all nearly equal and roundifli. Stam. Filaments four, con- 

 cealed beneath the upper lip, unequal ; anthers roundilh, of 

 two lobes, each with a fpur at the bafe. Pijl. Germen 

 fuperior, ovate ; ftyle thread-flaaped, agreeing with the lla- 

 mens in length and fituation ; ftigma capitate. Peru. Cap- 

 fule globofe, of one cell and two valves. Seed folitary, 

 ovate. 



Eli. Ch. Calyx tubular, five-toothed. Corolla ringent,

 and two valves. Seed fohtary. 



Obf. Surely the affinity of this genus to Euphrafia, 

 Lnthma, &c. is apparently, even without the charafter of 

 the fpurred anthers, indicated by Jacquin. Tlie fruit, 

 which in this tribe affords fuch admirable diftinttions, is 

 here peculiarly marked. Melampyrum alone approaches it, 

 by the fewnefs, fize and ihape of its feeds. Tozzia is 

 erroneoufly defcribed by Linnaeus, with a fingle-valved cap- 

 fule. We would prefumc to remove this genus to the Pedi- 

 culares of Juffieu.

 zelius gives an interefting account of his gathering it among 

 the melting fnows, on a lofty precipitous mountain, near the 

 fource of the Ifer, in 1654. The perennial root confifts of 

 numerous, flefhy, imbricated fcales, and bears a folitary,

 ones much fmaller. Flowers axillary, folitary, on fimple

TRACE, a mark or impreflion which any thing leaves 

 behind it in pafling over another. 



Tkaces of the Brain, among the Cartefian philofophers, 

 are thofe impreflions, more or Icfs deep, which, they fay, 

 fenfible objects make on the fine fibres of the brain, by 

 means of the organs of fenfe. 



Thefe impreffions are alfo called traces of the objeil ; the 

 courfe of the animal fpirits, they fay, ferves to keep them 

 up, and to renew them. 



The vivacity of the imagination, they fay, arifes from 

 the prodigious quantity of traces of different objefts in the 

 brain ; which are fo linked together, that the fpirits cannot 

 be fent into one of them, but they run into all the reft ; by 

 which means the ideas occafioned by the application of the 

 fpirits to thofe feveral traces, are all excited, as it were, at 

 once. 



Memory, according to the fame, confifts in the traces 

 which the animal fpirits have impreffed. 



Trace of a Hare, among Hunters, is her footing in the 

 fnow ; diftinft from other treadings, called doubling and 

 pricking, &c. 



Traces alfo denote the tracks of ravenous beafts, as 

 wolves, wild beafts, &c.

TRACHiE, in Ancient Geography, a name which Ovid 

 gives to Anxur. 



TRACHEA, in Anatomy, the wind-pipe, (from rfaxtta 

 apTupia,) a rough tube containing air, (rough from its carti- 

 laginous rings, ) whence the Latin afpera arteria. It is the 

 tube conveying air into the lungs, and commencing at the 

 root of the tongue. See Lltngs. 



Trachea, Wounds of. See Woukds. 



TRACHEiE, in Fegetable Phyjiohgy, is the appellation 

 given by Malpighi, Grew, &c. to the large fpiral-coated 

 veffels of plants ; which, being generally tound filled with 

 air only, are likewife termed air-vcfFels. The ditcoveries of 

 Dr. Darwin, Mr. Knight, and others, have fhewn them 

 rather to be fap-vefiels, and that the empty ftate in which 

 they are ufually found, is owing to their contents having 

 been expelled on difleftion, by the elafticity and irritability 

 of their coats. Such is known to be the faft with regard 

 to the arteries of animals. We have explained the nature 

 of thefe vcfTels, and their funftions, under the articles
