ringlets of wood in Experiment 46 (Fig. 30.) 
do further confirm this. 
But whether it be by an horizontal or 
longitudinal fhooting, we may obferve that 
nature has taken great care to keep the parts 
between the bark and wood always very 
fupple with flimy moifture, from which 
dudile matter the woody fibres, veftcles and 
buds are formed. 
Thus we fee that nature, in order to the 
production and growth of all the parts of 
animals and vegetables, prepares her dudile 
matter : In doing of which (he feleds and 
combines particles of very different degrees 
of mutual attradion, curioufly proportion- 
ing the mixture according to the many dif- 
ferent purpofes ihe defigns it for 3 either for 
bony or more lax fibres of very different de- 
grees in animals, or whether it be for the 
forming of woody or more foft fibres of 
various kinds in vegetables. 
The great variety of which different fub- 
ffances in the fame vegetable prove, that 
there are appropriated veffels for conveying 
very different forts of nutriment. And in 
many vegetables fome of thofe appropriate 
veffels are plainly to be feen replete either 
yith milky, yellow, or red nutriment.
