There are others alio on both fides of thofe lateral 
twigs, at different diftances from their extremities, 
and thefe are more in number or fewer, in fome 
proportion to the length of the twig itfelf. Thefe 
Toly pi are all exceedingly fmall, and of a bell-like 
figure, and they difeover about their openings a 
quick motion, very difficult to be feen with any 
diftindnefst 
There may alfo be obferved in feveral places, upon 
the branches of thefe clutters of Toly pi {Fig. 7.) cer- 
tain round bodies, which I at the firft took for in- 
feds preying upon the Tolypi , becaufe I was ac- 
quainted with fome fuch, nearly of that ffiape and 
fize : but I ihall prefently give an account of what 
thofe round bodies really are. 
Every clutter has, as I have faid, eight or nine of 
thefe branches or leaves fuch as I have juft deferibed. 
They do not all of them fet out from the fame 
point 5 but the points from whence they do fet out 
are not far afunder : each of thefe leaves is a little 
bent inwards, and they all form together a fort of 
a ffiallow chalice or cup. If the eye is placed right 
over the bafis of this chalice, the appearance of the 
whole eight or nine branches is like unto that of a 
flar with fo many rays proceeding from the fame 
center. 
When the clutter is touched, and even frequently 
without it, all the branches fold together inwards, 
and then conftitute a fmall round mafs. The item, 
which carries all the clutter, contrads alfo at the 
fame time, folding it felf up like a workman s mea- 
furing rule, that conftfts of three or four different 
joynts.
