off , they ftuck fo faft, that the whole E^- branch 
came along with theni. The fmallert Ejr^s, and of a kfs- 
er fize, were alfo firmly rooted and fixe in their skins^ 
and had often a Waterifli fubftance in tiiein. That befidc s 
the fuppofed ^^j- of the Egg^hrancb^ there Vvere others 
Ijipg at a diftance from it of an Inch and more, ori each fide 
of ihQ W&m&y and were included in particular Skios« 
My Opinion therefore of thefe Eggs is > that they are 
EmunBorys^ or the Emptyings of fome Fejfels iyiog near? 
fuch as areofcen found among the Membranes^ or adhe- 
ring to the Bowels of ^//f/T^^/x. But as to Generatio?i tho 
I ha ve formerly been veryreferv'd in declaring my thoughts 
thereof:) yet being now further inftruded by manifold 
Experience, T dare venture to affirm it rather to come from 
an Animalcule^ (fuch as I find net only in Human seed^ but 
that of all Birds, Eeafts > Fiflbes, and Infers ) than an Egg. 
And the rather for that I find in the Seed of a Man, as alio 
of a Bog^ two different fcrts of Animalcules^ anfwering the 
different vS^AT^j- of Male and Female. 
I know fome mea will even fwear that they have foood 
the aforefaid Eggs in the Tuba Fallopianaoi Beafts. Eut I 
heed not believe that thefe round Bodies they have feen 
in it, fliould be drawn down from the imagined Egg-branchy 
thro the long and very narrow paffage of ihG Tuba FaUopz- 
ana , Becaufe fomc of the Bodies are as big as a Tea[e (nay 
as the whole Egg-branch) ^ ^ni of a very firme and com- 
paded Subftance: But the way thro which they ihould 
pafs Is no wider than the Compafs of a fmall Fin. Again 
if it were fo as is faid, thefe bodies would be found, not 
by Chance j> but always when fearchcd for immediately 
after Copulations but that isfofar from being true ^ that 
it is hardly to be imagined , if we confider how little time 
is taken up^in the Copulation of feveral Animals^ as a Gow^ 
Rabbet &c. In which fo ftiort time neverthelefs ought to 
be drawn down, thro a long and narrow Paffage^ a great 
number of Bodies J in fome Cafes two or three, in others
