Now if we turn our thoughts upon the Stalks of thefe 
Seed Vcflels, as they are reprefented in Fig. 2. NH, and 
if w\? let them wander beyond our fight, which can pe- 
nttrate no farther than into the Internal Canals or Vef- 
fek of which there lye an unfpeakable number in the 
faid Stalks, we may lafely affirm, not only that the Seed 
Veffels are produced and fed from the fame, but alfo that 
in fuch Seed Veflels there may lye 50 or more Seeds, each 
of which may be indued with particular Canals or VeC 
fels 5 and have moreover a Shell or Membrane without, 
and a Plant within 5 all which lye in fo exceeding fmall a 
Compafe, and have fuch an unfpeakable number of Vef- 
fels in them, that one can hardly form any manner of 
Idea of them. 
I caufed the Painter to draw another Seed Veflel, 
which was not open as the fotmer : And whereas in Fig. 
2. the Screw-like parts of the Seed' Veflel are placed op- 
pofite to the fight, in thislaff the fame parts appear fide- 
ways. 
Fig. 6. A BG reprefents the Stalk thereof, BC D ?■ FG 
the Seed VelTel itfelT, and E F the opening of that Vc/Icl 
whereby it difcharges its Seed. 
I caufed alfo another Seed Veflel to be drawn, thai had 
not yet opend itfelf, and cdnfequently in v/hichjhe Seeds 
are ftill fhut up. 
Fig. 7. HIM fhews the Stalk, and IKLM the Seed 
Vefleh, in which the Skrew like parts are intercepted 
from the fight 5 and it is fo placed that you can't at ail 
perceive v;hereabouts the opening fhali happen. 
In the faid Seed Veflel you may obferve the wonderful 
Fabrick of the Membrane whereof it is compofed, and 
the exaft Order and Regularity of the Seams or Ribs 
thereof^ but when 1 fhew'd a certain Gentleman the 
fame Order and Uniformity in another Creature, he ask'd 
me to what end it was fo Created, fince it was never to 
be feen by the naked Eye.
