cut? the fourth uncut. The fuccefs was, that the whole Bark 
did unite , by binding it with pack-thred , leaving a fear in each 
of the fides cut. 
Then I cut off and feparated entirely from the Tree, fevers! 
parts of the Bark, fome Shallower , leaving part of the Bark on - 
others to the very wood it felf, both in the Trunk and Branches \ 
from an inch fquare to lefs dimenfions • and fome of them I bound 
clofe with pack-thred : all which were feparated , a new Rind fuc- 
ceeding in their place. Some I cover’d over , beyond the place of 
Incifion , with Diachy Ion- f laifler , and tied them fall with pack- 
thred. All which , thus bound and plaifter’d , did within the 
fpaceof three weeks, firmly unite to the Tfee, not without fome 
Sniveling of the outward skin of the Bark , and alfo with fome 
flirinking in each fide, where the Incifion was made 5 where alfo 
appear’d in each of the Interftices a fear, 
T he like Experiment I made, fome years before, about the fame 
time of the year, and fucceeded as before related. But tying the 
fame about Michaelmas , and in the Winter-ktfon , at neither of 
thefe times any Union could be made of the Bark to the Tree, I 
fuppofe, it was , becaufe the Sappe mounted not fo vigorously 
and in fuch plenty , as in the Spring- feafon. 
Some Branches of the fore-mentioned Trees were decorticated 
round, and where no Union was, there certainly follow’d a wi- 
thering of the Branch beyond the place , where the Sedfion was 
made. 
I alfo feparated a Twig from the Branch , by cutting of it flo- 
ping, for thebetterfaftningof it to the Branch again. This Twig 
I exa&ly fitted to the Branch, from whence ’twas cut , in the fame 
pofiure, it before grew in : I firmly bound it , and cover’d it with 
D/^j/^-plaifter. Thefuccefs was , that in 3 day es time , the 
Twig, that was cutoff withered.
