able Rounding off at the wounded End, which looked 
alfo fomewhat extended, and more pellucid than the 
reft. It both extended and contracted itfelf very fen-

and I obferved a fmall Protrufion towards the Middle

On Friday the 18th, about Seven in the Morning, 
I perceived little Horns or Arms putting out from the

further obferve, that I cut Three more tranfverfely 
in the fame Manner, on the fame Day, Sunday the 
13 th Inftant, and that I lnd fo cut one on the Day- 
before :
