diem, I feveral times difcovcr’d an Orifice or Opening 
which I judged to come by Chance, and which is entire ' 
ly lliut or clofed up when there were no Juices conveyed 
out of them. 
I told you before, that the fmall Protuberancesilood 
as clofe to one another as the Hair upon a Man’s Head ; 
at the fame time I alfo difeover’d feveral long llender 
pointed Particles, wliich I conceived to be rooted or 
planted in the Skin with a pointed end, and that thefe 
caufed the afoi'ementioned Protuberances j and notwith- 
flanding that I did not perceive near fo many of thefe 
long Particles, as I did of the Protuberances, vet I 
conclude, that the long Particles were at firft as nume- 
rous as the other, but that a great many of them in the 
feparating of the Skin might have remanied Ificking in 
it, as it has often happened to me in Operations of the 
fame nature. 
Aftenvards I obferved, that w'hen I difiTe6i:cd the 
' Skin, in which the aforefaid long pointed Partic-es were 
fheathed, the faid Particles w^ere united to the Parts 
that lay under, and that they 'were there twice as thick 
as the upper end of them ; and as near as I could mea- 
fure them by my Eye, they were as long as four Dia- 
meters of the Hair of ones Head. 
Now as thefe pointed Parts, which -were fixed in the 
•aforefaid Protuberances, were oppofed to the fight with 
'the Points uppermoft, one cou’d not eafiiy make any 
Obfervation of them • wherefore I cut off one of the 
(lender Particles from the reff, that I might give you 
the better view of the pointed Parts. 
Fig, 2 . F, G, H, i, reprefents a fmall Particle of the 
aforefaid long Particle, fo as it appear’d thro’ a Micro- 
fcope, of which F G fhews the undermoll part, which 
is as it were the Socket of the pointed Parts, and I H 
are the (aid* pointed Parts.
