14, and 15, 1773, lt a g a * n walked about; 
and on the 1 6th, feeing thefe growing new 
limbs, I offered them fome bits of mufcles, 
which however were neither eat, nor even laid hold 
cf. That fame day, after feveral motions in various 
directions, it loofened its adhefion, and remained 
motionlefs and flabby, but without any bad fmell, 
till the beginning of February, when it appeared 
adhering, but weakly, to the bottom of the vafe. 
The 1 6th, after feveral motions, it climbed up to 
the top, where it remained till the 1 ith of March, 
and then loofened its hold. Thefe alternate fta- 
tions and motions lafted till the 8th of April, with- 
out my feeing any plain and full re-produdtion. 
However the animal continues to grow ftronger 
and thicker. 1 own I was very wrong to throw 
away, a few days after the operation, the upper 
part that had been cut off. But I did not forefee 
what would happen.

nouveau. Le 16 appercevant ces apparences de membres je 
leur prefentai de petits morceaux de moule, qu’elle n’a ni man- 
ges ni retenus. Ce meme jour, apres plufieurs mouvemens en 
divers fens, elle s’eft detachee et a refte ainfi molie et immo- 
bile jufqu’au commencement de Fevrier, fans pourtant porter de 
mauvaife odeur ; enfuit eelle a paru foiblement attachee au fond 
duvafe; elle a monte au haut le 16, apres plufieurs mouve- 
mens, ou elle a refte jufqu’au II Mars, qu’elle fe detacha. 
Ces alternatives et ces mouvemens ont dure jufqu’aujourd- 
hui 8 A.vril, fans que je voye paraitre de reprodu&ion reelle j ce- 
pendant elle continue de fe fortifier et devient de plus en plus 
epaifle. Je jettai fans doute fort mal a propos des les premiers 
jours la partie retranchee ; pouvois-je prevoir ce qui devoit 
arriver.
