35 ° Pi P e Animal* 
He carefully feparated one fingle Pipe 
from the red, and placed it in a Glafs of 
Water, to give the little Inhabitant an Op- 
portunity of coming to the Mouth of its 
Cell, which it did accordingly very foon, 
and then appeared as at N° hi, where the 
Figures both of the Animal and its Cafe are 
magnified nine or ten Times in Diameter.— 
The Pipe or Cafe b is made of Sand, inters 
mixed here and there with minute Shells 
and Sand, all cemented together by a gluti¬ 
nous Slime iffuing I fuppofe from the Ani- 
maPs own Body c, which is compofed of 
mufcular Ringlets, (like thofe of a Worm,) 
capable of great Extenfion or Contraction. 
The anterior End or Head d is exceedingly 
beautiful, having round it a double Row of 
little Arms, difpofed in very regular Order, 
and able I fuppofe to extend themfelves for 
the catching of its Prey, and conveying it to 
the Mouth that appears in the Middle of this 
anterior End. But the Animal being lick 
for Want of Salt Water did not extend its 
Arms at all, and expiring foon after, no Way 
was left of coming at its true Figure when 
ftretched out. 
I am feniible that the Account here given 
is very imperfect; but it may I hope induce 
fome curious Body, who lives near the Sea- 
Shore, and has an Opportunity of fo doing, 
to furniih us with a better.
