The 5th figure exhibits a clufter of ‘Polypi, of the 
firft of the two fpecies deferibed in this paper, 
and which is here confiderably magnified. 
The 6 th figure fhews another clufter of Polypi of 
the fame, fort 5 the number of the ‘Polypi here 
fhewn is but fmall, becaufe the clufter was drawn 
as it appeared within 2 or 3 days after it had firft 
begun to form it felf. One of the branches of 
this clufter is partly contracted, and they may be 
feen in this feituation, when a branch after com 
trading it felf is again expanding to its ordinary 
ftate. This clufter is yet confiderably more magni- 
fied than that exhibited in the 5th figure. 
The 7th figure reprefents one branch of a clufter of Po- 
lypi of the fecond fpecies deferibed in this paper* 
There may be feen upon this branch, befides the Po- 
lypi which are of a bell-like form, fome of thofe 
round bodies from which the clufters of this kind of 
Polypi do firft fpring* and which remarkably di- 
ftinguifh it from many other fpecies. 
The 8th figure reprefents one of thefe round or glo- 
bular bodies, after it has parted it felf frorp the 
clufter, has fixed it felf to fome other body, and after 
that the globule itfelf and its pedicle have begun 
tolengthen. It was in this condition on the fecond 
day of June at 5 in the evening* 
The 9th figure exhibits the 2 bodies, that were formed 
by the parting of that reprefented in the 8th figure. 
This parting began at half an hour after 8, and 
was completed at 9 the fame evening. 
The 10th figure reprefents the four bodies, which 
were formed from the 2 reprefented in the 9th 
figure 5 and thefe four bodies were alfo formed be- 
fore 10 of the clock.
