with the varnifh, muft be overlaid with cotton ; and 
the (kin be drawn over it, being firft varnifhed on the 
infide. In Tewing up the incifion, obferve to flick, the 
needle always outwards; as you proceed, moiflen the 
Team with Tome oT the liquid ; and when finilhed, 
diTpoTe the Teathers into their natural order. The 
eyes, muft be extradled, as no art can preTerve them, 
To as to look full and lively, for the aqueous humour 
will dry up and of coniequence the outward tunica 
become fhrivelled and without luftre. Jn extrading 
them, great care muft be taken that none of the 
humour drop on the plumage, as it would Tpoil 
wherever it touched ; the beft way is, to flick a fharp 
pointed awl through each of them and pluck them 
out together. They muft be laid afide in order to 
finifh the artificial eyes by. Chufe for that pur- 
pofe beads of as large fize as you can conveni- 
ently introduce into the orbits ; take a long {lender 
needle threaded with ftrong filk waxed over, and 
run it through the hole in the upper part of the 
mouth and out at one of the eyes, leaving three or Tour 
inches of the filk hanging out at the bill. This done, 
put one bead on the thread, and run the needle out 
at the other eye ; draw the bead into the orbit, at the 
fame time lifting up the eye-lid with a lharp needle, 
and place it over the edge of the artificial eye in a 
natural pofition ; then, with a pencil introduced from 
the other fide, varnifh all the cavity with the liquid, 
and fill the ipace between the eyes with cotton, fo 
as to keep the bead already placed, in its proper place. 
Put on afterwards the other bead, and returning the 
needle through the orifice in the upper part of the 
mouth, draw in the other eye, to its proper orbit,
