18 Of the Calamary 



mediately next the Inteftines between 

 them, and the Infide of the Back 

 or Cafe of the Fifb, it inclofesand 

 fecures them within the Cavity which 

 it forms. The Calamary is alfo more 

 oblong in its Shape ; and the Struc- 

 ture of that curious Part, which 

 forms the Tongue and Throat, ap- 

 pears to be very different from that 

 of the Guttle-jijhy when they are both 

 viewed in the Microfcope. 



The Pourcontrel, or Sea-Polype % 

 1 have never feen ; but from the beft 

 Accounts, the principal Difference be- 

 twixt it and the Calamary, as well 

 as the Cattle-fifh y confifts in a tubi- 

 form Excrei^nce rifing up on its 

 Back, which, as Naturaiifts have ob- 

 ferved, is flexible to either Side, and 

 ferves to fleer him as he fwims a- 

 long. In other Particulars they fa 

 nearly refemble each other, that I 

 thought it fufficient to confine my 

 Obfervations to the Calamary, with 

 a Perfuafion, that whatever is. curi- 

 ous, and engages our Attention in 

 this, may be found in the other two 

 Species with fmall Variation.
