In the middle of the Fig, 3 and 5. we obferved a 
clear Particle, which was of the fame Figure’ with the 
whole Body 5 from whence we conclude, that the faid 
whole Body was much fraaller at its Coagulation, but in-- 
creas’d continually by new Accellions of Matter round 
about it 5 and that in proportion to the number of Circles 
or Circumferences, the Body increas’d from time to time 
in bignefs : And who knows but that every Circle was 
made upon a particular Day, and in dry Weather, and • 
that at Night it remained in the fame State. 
Thefe little Figures prefer ved their compleat Forms and ^ 
chryftalline Appearances as long as it was dry Weather 5 
but when it happen’d to be Moift or Ivalny, we obferved - 
Moifture about the Particles of the Sugar, which in dry 
Weather evaporated again 5 and then there Coagulated an ^ 
infinite number of fmall Sugar Particles upon the greater, 
and thofe werefo exceeding fmall, that a thoufand of ’em ' 
together were not fo big as one of thofe Particles before 
deferibed by Fig, 3 . which, as I faid above, was not fo 
large as a fingle Grain of Sand, *and thereby all the Bean» - 
tiiulnefs of them difappear’d: And to the end that thofe • 
little Figures might keep their form ’till they were drawn, 
1 was forced to carry both them and the Microfeope, be-* 
fore which they ftood, in my Pocket. 
Now' fince we fee that from one and the fame Matter 
two different Figures are Coagulated, it is eafie to con- 
ceive that feveral other Figures might be produc’d in the * 
firft Coagulation, efpecially when any of thef’arts of thofe ' 
little Bodies lye upon one another 3 and therefore alfo 
we (hou’d not wonder, to fee in the Coagulation of Salts- -> 
feveral Figures produced out of one Particle of Salt. , 
I can’t omit acquainting you upon this occafion, that " 
Tome body fent me laft SummeFa Piece of Mincra’, which > 
was faid to be very rich with Gold, and was brought 
from Hungary ^ and I was defired to enquire into the ‘ 
fubftance of the faid Mineral^ which when I had done, I '
