fuppojed Enibryoes of Soles. 



I cannot conclude this Chapter 

 without taking Notice of one Par- 

 ticular in Mr. Dejlandes's Account, 

 which is, that what he calls the Em- 

 bryo Sole is contained, according to 

 him, in feveral fmall Bladders rifing 

 betwixt the Legs, and ftrongly agglu- 

 tinated to the Stomach of the Shrimp. 

 Now, tho' I cannot pofitively fay, 

 that I have met with the fame Ob- 

 ject, or the fame Species of Shrimp, 

 that he has, yet this I am fure of, 

 that in N umbers of thofe I obferved, 

 the Generality at leaft, if not all, had 

 not above one Excrefcence of this 

 Kind on the left- fide juft below the 

 Head, and that more in the Nature 

 of an Excoriation of the outward 

 Shell of the Shrimp, than a Bladder, 

 as he defcribes it ; I fay the Gene- 

 rality, becaufe I will not be pofi- 

 tive, that I have not met with fome 

 few, which had an Excrefcence on both 

 fides, exadlly opofite to each other. 

 It is what I am inclined to believe, 

 tho' at that Time I took fo little 

 Notice of it, that it has in a great 

 Meafure efcaped my Memory.
