PartickSj and moftly with little Figures like Flower?, as 
tliey areiiere reprefeut^d in thc.Stli Fig. between kand 1. 
The Anh^ndci;la \vh]ch I mertfoned abm-e, and likened to 
litrie BcUa, are to be ften in the (aine Figure in i, s, t, and 
V, and I fiiw above a hundred of thck JmwalcuU 
with their Ta'yls fluise'd (o the Root, and living between 
b, i, k, 1, m/but other [loots had none of thefe. 
In feveral oj thefe Pvoots i obferyed one, and fometimes, 
but (tklom 'two flicaths or cafes. fadned in them of feveral 
iizcs, the biggcft h rrprefl:nted'by r, x, y, Out of the fame 
fiieath appearu a little Creature, the forc-p.wof whofe Body 
was roundiihj as in z, and prefently from the fame Ro- 
toiidity proceeded' 2 liule Wheels that had a fwifc Gyration, 
as in Fig^ 8. a, b^c The Limner oblerving the Rotation of 
the V/heels, wljich always ran one and the fame way, could 
not be fatisficd with the fight, adding, O, that he could al- 
ways fee fuch a wonderful kind ot u motion. Thefe fmall 
Wheels were as thick befet with Teeth, like the Wheel of a 
Watch 5 and when th^^t AnimalcuU had tor fome time exert- 
ed their circular motion they drew their Wheels into their 
Body, and their Body wholly into their Sheaths, and then 
foon after thruft them out again with the aforefaid motion ^ 
aBot^aer while they remain'd as it were (hut up in their Shells, 
and tho I obferved the fame Wheels in other Ammalcula 
alfo, yet their Bodies differed from each other, and the 
(heaths were of a darkifh colour, fo that I could noteafily 
perceive the AnimalcuU 5 and moreover, they feem*d to, be 
compofed of Globules. 
I alfp obferved other Sheaths that were feveral degrees 
fmaller then thqfe befoi'e mentioned", and they were as tran- 
fparent as Glafs, fo that one might plainly fee Ammal- 
cula lying within them. 
Fig. §. p. d, e, f, reprefents the Sheath with the .little 
Worm, p, d, f, in it. The fame Figure o, g, h, ftows you a 
Sheath with half the Body of the lame Animdcnk g, pro- 
truded
