This great Snail died on the Second Day, in all like- 
lyhood tor want of Food, without getting any Eggs from 
it- 
The Young Snails, which was come out of the Eggs, 
did not live above Two or Three Days, which being 
dead, I took them out of the Glafs, and obferved, that 
the Membrane out of which the Snails was come, 
was extraordinary White, and the reft of the Eggs,which 
were fruitlefs, and out of which there was no Snail come, 
had a dark waterifti Colour. 
I have told before of a great many little Roots, that 
was come out of a Root of Graft now to obferve, 
if fuch a Quantity would come out of another 
Plant , I got a Glaft Tube, of near half an Inch 
Diameter, and Three Inches in Length, which Tube I 
ftaltd up in one end, and filfd up with dry Sand, 
to more than Two Third Parts, and pour'd over it Rain 
Water, to wet the Saod quite through j afterwards I 
ftampt the Sand fcmewhat clofe together, for the Rea- 
fon that it Ihould not fail fo foon alunderby moving and 
handling the Glaft Tube, 
Having done this, I made Three Holes in the upper 
part of the Sand, and in each Hole I laid a TaruW' 
greyntge which came to lye even with the Sand with that 
Part where the Plant was | for the Reafon that the Roots 
which Ihould come out, fbould not be covered with 
Sand, when the upper Part of the Glaft Tube had been 
fhutup with Cork. 
This Glafs being thus prepared, I carried in my 
Pocket for Four or Five Days, and afterwards obfcrved, 
that the Taru pjHtge did begin to get Roots. 
On the Seventh Day the Roots of one taru'Vctutgs 
(of which was three, but one longer than the other) was 
grown, and thus far, that I could fee very diflinftly, 
that ttey did confift of very thin Pipes, every Pipe ha- 
¥ing
