eonfift of a foft flefhy fubftance, which refemDles 
bowels or inteflines ; the whole length of which is 
covered with glandulous bodies of a dirty grey colour y 
and all thefe glands filled up the middle of the fifh, 
making the flowrets, or petals, that form the difk of 
the flowers. There is an infinite number of thefe 
glands attached to thofe filets or nerves, all very dif- 
tindt from one another : thefe filets are well ranged 
when viewed downwards 3 but the upper part is co- 
vered by thefe glands, which are placed in a confided 
manner. Thefe filets pafs to the circumference, form- 
ing an edge full of rugofities, which leaves the body 
of the animal full of flaws. Thefe hard bodies, upon 
which it lives, are not always permanent in the fame 
place, but capable of changing their places from this 
edge or circumference ; like a fkin or texture of fibres 
or flefh, fuch as the body of the lea fnail I have al- 
ready deferibed 3 of the fame thicknefs, of a green- 
ifh colour, and fometimes of a greenifh fpotted grey, 
without fhell, bone, or flay. The body or mufeu- 
Jar flefhy fkin raifes itfelf up perpendicularly to three 
inches; rounds itfelf at the top, when it is touched ; 
but it leaves a hole like a fphindter, formed by the 
reunion of the flefhy body, which enlarges itfelf again. 
The bafe opens to the whole extent of the bottom, 
makes a reverfed prepuce, and immediately brings to 
view three rows of papillae , which are of a conical 
figure, of one or two lines long, refembling the glands 
under the tongues of oxen, and which may here be 
compared to the demi-flowers or radiated flowers of 
the Corona Solis. 
After this threefold ray of conical pointed papilla^ 
there appears a body of a livid violet colour 3 I took
