Some Difcretion is needful, to adapt tho 
Time of continuing the Grains in Water 
or Earth to the Age and Drynefs of them $ 
for if they are not "opened before they have 
been too much or to long foftened, the 
Animalcules will not only feem dead, but 
will really he fo. Of the two- Grains I 
mentioned to have been four Years old when 
put to foak, I opened one after it had lain? 
thirty-fix Hours, and the Event was as aN 
ready related: the other I let lie for above 
a Week, and on opening found all the An¬ 
guilla near the Hulk dead,, and feemingly 
in a decayed Condition ; but great Num¬ 
bers idued alive from the Middle, and 
moved themfelves brilkly.-——Unlefs the 
Hulks are opened to let thefe Creatures* 
out after they have been deeped, they all'

out and preferved in Water, if the Hufko- 
are left with them, they will die in a few 
Days; but otherwif© they will continue 
alive in Water for feveral Months together,/ 
and fhduld the Water dry away, may be 
revived again by giving them a frefh Sup**
