e tubularia. This Species is by Linn^m called 
Tubipora. It is generally or a purple Colour j and 
iscompofedof many hollow Tubes or Pipes of Coral 
iflfuing from the fame Stock, The Specimens of 
it are curious, varyi.g in Colour. 
After having maac thefe Ihort Remarks on the 
Nature of the feveral Kinds of Coral, it will not be 
amifs to mention four Tables of Sea Produdtions 
chiefly of the Coral kind, dilpofed in their feveral 
Clafies in the Form of Landfcapes. Tftey are the 
Gift of Mr. Ellis , who, as the Reader has already 
been informed, has wrote on the Subjcdt. There 
being in each of thefe Tables a fhort Account of the 
Contents, it is quite unneceflary to be more parti¬

and entertaining, fo great is the Variety contained 
jn it; for not only every diftindl Clafs of Infects has 
a Manner peculiar to itl'elf to preferve and continue 
the Species, but every dilUnguifhed Part of each

with all his boafted Reafon, cannot with any Pro¬ 
priety account for. For Inftance, the Wafps do 
not all make their Nells alike ; fome are very large, 
as a Kind of American Wafp, feveral of which Nells 
are here depoflted ; another, which comes from 
Newfoundland , refembles a Rofe; and thofe made 
by a kind of black Wafp are entirely covered with 
Clay ; yet ail thefe differ from the common Wafp’s 
Nell. There ar many other Varieties in the Work 
of this Infcdl-, but it would take up too much time 
to enlarge more on the Subjedl, efpecially as what 
has been already Laid will be fufficient to give the
