82. Abbe dicque mare’s Third EJfay 
thefe quarters adhered the next day to the fide of the 
vafe: on the 30th it had crept to the furface of the 
water. It looked healthy till the middle of November; 
hut at the end of the year the wound was not yet per- 
fectly healed : neverthelefs, a few days after, it put forth 
a young one of a tolerable fize. The cold of the 28th 
of January feems to have accelerated its diflolution. The 
fecond quarter had nearly the fame fate, except that it 
yielded no young ones. The third produced, on the 6th 
of September, a young one of a very fmall fize. On the 
1 5th the wound feemed to be clofed, but its place ftill 
appeared of a pale colour, tranfparent, and confiderably 
deprefled. On the 30th it put forth another fmall young 
one; and on the 26th of October, a third of a lbmewhat 
larger fize. On the 29th of January 1776, after the

grofle qui venoit d’etre pechee, et en la coupant ainfi, elle me donna douze petits. 
Une de ces portions s’attacha le lendemain aux parois du vafe:- ]e 20 elle 
etoit monteea fieur d*eau : elle a fait bonne figure jufqu’il la moitie de Novem- 
b're : a la fin de 1’annee la playe n’etoit qu’fmparfaitement confolidee ; peu de 
jours avant, fans avoir 1 ’aif vigoreux, elle avoit donne un petit un peu fort. Le 
fircid du 28 Janvier a paru accelerer fa ruine* II en a ete a peu pres de meroe 
de la feconde portion comme de la precedente ; mais elle n’a point donne de 
petits. La troifieme m’a donne un petit d’une petiteffe extreme le 6 Septembre. 
Le 15, la playe paroiffoit confolidee ; mais la marque en etoit tres fenfible par 
la couleur pale, la tranfparence, et un refle d’applatiffement. Le 30 elle m’a 
donne un petit tres petit, et le 26 O&obre un un-pcu plus gros. Le 29 Janvier
