T concluded that the Tree or Plant which produces thefe 
Leaves is notched or indented Afterwards I took 
fotne of the Hempfeed, which I thought I had well Dif- 
fered, and of which, if my Memory fails me not, I have 
formerly given a Defcription to the Royal Society ; and 
examin’d the faid Seed anew, to try whether I could dift 
cover any fuch fmall Leafs as I have found before in 
the Seed Ca»ck Having' then Differed this our 
common Hempfeed, I found that all the parts of it agreed 
with that of the abovemention’d Seed ; at firfr indeed 
when I took the fmall Leafs out of the larger in which 
they were folded, I could not fee thofe Indented Parts 
abovemention’d, but when I feparated the Leafs from 
each other, I could eafily perceive them $ and then ap- 
pear’d the two exceeding long Leafs lying fo regularly 
within one another, that the Indented parts could not be 
difcover’d — » 1 bruifed a few of thefe little Cattck 
Seeds, and pour’d Rain Water -upon them, in order to - 
difcover whether there were any Salt Particles in the 
fame, and tho I let fome of the drops of this Water 
ftand feveral days together, it did not at all evaporate, 
but there remain’d behind a thick moift Oily Matter, 
which I fuppofe was the caufe that I could difcover fo 
few Salts to be Coagulated, and thofe that were there, 
that are hardly worth naming, were of the figure of 
thole that are found in Wine Vinegar, .
