The number of the fets of roots of the third order is un- 
limited. The fecond is confined to four fets. The part 
between i and k fhews the effeCts of a very dry feafon ; 
the joints are hunted, and fometimes only two lines long, 
inftead of an inch and a half or two inches. When the 
rains begin again, the joints which come out are again
