or Conjanaion is defcribed by KLMNOPQR, and* 
there are three fuch Small Canals to one Great one. 
Yea, the faid Vein or Canal that runsacrofs is not on- 
ly joyn'd to a Secosd afcending Vein, which extends it 
felf the length of the Leaf, but it goes farther, and falls 
into a third Canal, which alfo runs the length of the 
(aid Leaf, as may be feen in the fame Figure by S TV 
W X YZa ^ and who knows but if one could inveftigate 
the conjunfliion of the Veffels, that this order runs 
through the whole Leaf. 
I faiacied with my felf, that feme of th^fe Veins or 
Canals were composed of long Particles, that extended 
themfelves parallel, ^nd very near to each other, but in 
a Winding and Serpentine motion, to the end that the 
faid Veins Qiould never fall in with one another, but al- 
ways remain open and diftinft , and agreeably to this 
opinion, I have fometimes, but very feldom, taken thofe 
parts out of the Canals, fo that the Painter could draw 
them after me. 
, In the faid Fig. 4. by W B C D E F X is repfefented the 
laft mentioned Particle which makes a Canal, but of a ve- 
ry fmall length, and feems to be of a flattifh (hape, as be- 
tween W and B s but viewing it more narrowly, we 
found that the feeming Flatnefs was occafion'd by the 
Canals lying fo clofe to each other 5 for we faw clearly 
that B was two diftinft Canals when they were ftretcht 
out, as in B C F 3 and that one of thofe Canals was again 
fubdivided into two more, as from C to D 5 and the 
Painter Judged that thofe flender Particles D and E ftill 
fpun themfelves into more fubdivifions. 
Now one can t come at a fight of thefe laft mentioned 
Parts by cutting the Leaf througji/buc you muft tear it in 
pieces 5 and even then for the moft part thefe Canals, 
with the forefaid particlesj will be alfo broken before one 
€an get a fight of them.
