certain Fruits are compos’d of, but their round.nefs was 
fuch, that each pf them were in a manner of a different 
Figure, fuch as might bed: fuit with all the reit, and 
fo as to leave no Vacuity in them ; and thus the Saps 
which are not in the Velfeis, are conveyed from one of 
thofe round Parts to the other, and*fo ferve for Clia-

I could never liave thought, that the Parts of Red 
Corral were fo clofely united to another, as I liave fince
