On Saturday the 19th, I faw both the Pieces red- 
ing on their pofterior Ends, and ftretching out their 
Bodies in the ufual way. 
On Monday the 21ft, both Parts feemed well, each 
was like an intire : Polypus , except that one of them 
was, and is fi.il 1, very imall. I difeovered fome little 
Arms putting out in the room of thofe each Part had 
loft : There appeared alfo little Arms coming out 
all round the Head of the little one fixed to the Tail 
of the larger Piece. 
On Tuefday laft the 2 2d, I viewed both thefe 
Pieces with the Microfcope, and each feemed per- 
fectly formed like a whole Toly pus. The larger 
Piece had Four new Arms, and the leffer Two, like 
their others, but fhorter, as yet ; and they are now 
in all other refpeCts, as complete as any others I 
have. 
This fame Experiment I again attempted on another 
Polypus , on Saturday laft but I again made the 
Parts unequal 5 they are however both alive, and 
promife very fairly. 
I the fame Day cut a fine long Polypus into Three 
Pieces, tranfverfely, at Five in the Afternoon. I left 
the Middle-piece the longeft of the Three. 
On Monday the 21ft, the Head-piece feemed well 
formed again, excepting that it was yet very fhort ; 
the other Pieces looked plump and well. On Tuef- 
day the Head-piece eat and kept Part of a Worm : It 
feized it very vigoroufly with its Arms, mattered ir, 
and fwallowed it eagerly. The Middle-piece moved 
pretty much, and the laft looked frefh and well. This 
Thurfdny Morning, the Arms begin to fhew them- 
lelves on the anterior Extremity of the Middle-piece.
