two Months, fince the Operation : It is grown, and 
has put forth young ones, from each of the Parts of 
which it was formed. The two foregoing Experi- 
ments do not always fucceed ; it often happens, that 
the two Parts will not join again. 
In order to comprehend the Experiment I am now 
going to fpeak of, one Hi Quid recoiled, that the whole 
Body of a ‘ Polypus forms only one Pipe, a fort of Gut, 
or Pouch. 
I have been able to turn that Pouch, that Body of

and they multiply, as if they had never been turned. 
Fads like thefe I have related, to be admitted, re- 
quire the moft convincing Proofs. I venture to fay, 
I am able to produce fuch Proofs. 
They arife from the Detail of my Experiments, from 
the Precautions I have taken to avoid all Uncertainties, 
from the Care I have ufed to repeat the fame Experi- 
ment feveral times, from the Afliduity and Attention 
with which I have obferved them. 
All this would require a Difcuflion too long to be 
here related. 
I might alfo appeal to the Quality and the Number 
of the Perfons who have beenWitndfes to thefe Fads; 
as well of thofe who have feen me obferve, as of 
thofe who have obferved themfelves. 
For Brevity-fake, I have omitted feveral curious and 
material Fads,
