reafoa of its^littlenefs, it is not eafily di{cernc3 : for ex- * 
ample, ifJS. were magnified, till it appear as big as i^* 
then would the top of JE, not be fharp, but Quadrilate- 
rail as at f, and like to the Bafis : For the top is the true 
pattern of the Salt, and the reft of the bigoefs, is no- 
thing but an addition of other quadrilaterall Salts; like* 
wife would the top of G, if magnified, belike unto//. 
SALT of ALICANT SODA 
I obferved this Sodet as the former, and at firll obferv- 
ed little, but that there were fwimmingabout\, fmall fi- 
gures reprefenting withered branches of a Tree, compol- 
cd of fmall particles, whofe ftiape could not well be dif- 
cerned : but after fomc days, the particles were grown fo 
big, that I could fee among them, flat thin4fided, and 
dfided figures, as Numb. kj. Fig. A. and 5. Alfo ob- 
long figures as C. whofe fides run up fliarp : thefe Salts 
were diffolved by the leaft moifture of the Air^ 
SAL ARMONIACK 
I have ufjd much iaduftry to fee the figure of this Salt, 
but generally it appeared to.me, ("when it ha,d been melt- 
ed in water) like the Boughs of a Tree, befet with irre- 
gular leaves, one bigger then the other, as is reprefent- 
ed Numb- 17. Fig. A E. In another place lay f or 6 
Branches lik^e A^ leeming to proceed from a common 
center, as I faw alfo Salt particles like 5, and C j and 
when I lighted upoa a place where there were no 
Q^q z branches^
