At the end of four Days, I found feveral Spots of 
Moldinefs began to appear on the flefhy Part of the 
Fruit, fomewhat Green towards the Rind ; and of a pa- 
ler Colour towards the Middle of the Fruit. Thefe 
Spots grew larger every Hour, for the fpace of five Days ; 
at which time the whole Fruit was quite cover’d. 
This furprifing Vegetation made me Curious to exa-

The firfl being feen with the Microfcope, appear'd to be

When the whole Fruit had been thus cover’d with 
Mold for fix Days, this Vegetable Quality began to a~ 
bate, and was entirely gone in two Days more. Then 
was the Fruit putrified s and its flefliy Parts now yielded 
no more than a (linking Water, which began to have a 
gentle motion on its Surface, that continued for two 
Days without any other Appearance. 1 found then fe-
