neighbours, had there been many in the glafs. 
It is neither the row of the centrical or inner 
limbs, nor the moft outward, which firft bud out, 
but the intermediate ones. The part, which had 
been clipped off, gave figns of fenfibility to the 
17th of July, contracting and dilating itfelf, in 
the fame manner as a whole Anemone; but it was 
much fmaller than before the operation. This 
experiment has been repeated by clipping, on the 
nth of July, the whole upper part and one third 
of the body of another Anemone. New limbs be- 
gan to (hoot out the 21ft. There were two rows 
of them the 25th ; and on the 3d of Augufb, 
four very diflinCt and well fhaped, which caught 
and kept fall the food that was offered the 
animal. The mouth itfelf was fufficiently
