On the 6th of Augujil took another Glafs Tube of above 
a foot long and an inch in diameter, one end of which was 
hermetically feal'd, that there? might be no caufe of fufpici- 
on that thefe branches or twigs proceeded from the Cork 5 
and haying rinced the fa:me two or three times, I fet it on 
my Desk, and viewed it (everal times, but could perceive no 
Branches till after the Water had ftood above 40 hours in 
the Tube 5 after which I took a Microfcope and faftn*d it 
to the Tube, to fee whether the Branches grew any bigger 
after the firfk difcovery of them, but as nicely as I viewed 
them I could perceive no alteration. 
Now I could fee on the extream parts of the faid Twigs 
g or 4, or fometimes 5 round Bubbles like flofes by one a- 
nothcr, which wasa very agreeable fpeftacle, for when one 
of thefe Branches (which was only faften'd to the Glafs by 
its thickefV end) came to be removed by that fmall motion 
into which I put the Water, all the five fmall Twigs were 
likewife put into motion, and the fame motion was 
likewife imparted to the Bubbles, tho fome of their Stalks 
were fo exceeding fmall that I could not fee how they were 
jpynU to the faid Twigs. 
I pourU out the Water very gently from the Glafs Tube, 
with intention that the Branches v/bich were faften'd by 
their Stems only to the fides of the Glafs (whilft their Twigs 
were kept in a continual motion by the Water) might lye 
aiong on the Glafs, to the end that my Limner might draw 
them the better.'

whereby it was joyned to the fides of the Glafs. 
Here you may fee what a vaft number of Branches and 
Twigs there are in this fingle Figure, which indeed appears 
irregular upon the Paper -y whereas in the Water where they 
were unraveird: and could play tree^ it was a very agreeable 
fight,
