C 69 3 
among Naturalifts, That all Kinds of Animalcules ar e 
produc’d by minute Eggs floating in the Air, and fall- 
ing into the different Matrices and Pabula, that fuf- 
tain each Kind. 
In order to arrive at fome Knowledge of this, I have 
made fome frdh Pafte, and have cover’d fome with a 
Piece of Lawn, fome with a Bladder, and expofed 
the reft as ufual. I have alfo made a Mixture of 
Flower and Water without boiling, and tied down 
fome of that, and left the reft open ; whereby it may 
appear how far the Air may or may not be concern’d 
in the Conveying of thefe Animalcules : For there is 
no Mean to be imagin’d, by which thefe Creatures 
can get into the Pafte, if we do not fuppofe Nature 
has decreed two Ways for their Production, that is, 
from Eggs in the Air, befides the Manner that ap- 
pears before us : But this, together with the Refult 
of fome other Experiments, lhall be humbly offer’d 
to your Confideration, in a future Paper, by 
SIR,
