Of Animalcula in Fluids, 
An infufion of citron flowers. 
I N Auguft fome of thefe flowers were put into cold 
water, in a few days three forts of animalcules were 
feen therein, which did not merit a figurative reprefenta- 
tion. But fome time after others appeared, called tor- 
toife, one of which is reprefented at fig. 256. Its head, 
though large, is very fhort, and adorned with two horns 
like thofe of a deer: its body feemed to be covered with 
fcales, its tail very long, and fwift in motion. 
Infuflon of anemony. 
N Ature is pleafed to diverfify all her productions, 
and is furprifingly admirable in all her works, by 
continuing to give us proofs thereof in this infufion of 
anemony prepared after the ordinary manner with cold 
water, which at tire end of eight days afforded a new ani¬ 
malcule, reprefented at fig. 257 b . 
All the furface of its back is covered with a very 
fine mafk in form of a human face, perfectly well made, 
as appears in the figure. It hath three feet on each fide, 
and a tail coming out from under the mafk. 
Infufions of three different portions of celery 
jftalks and leaves, put feperately into diffe¬ 
rent glaffes. 
O N the firft of November fome of the ftalks of ce¬ 
lery were broke into little pieces, and put into the 
firft glafs, and common water poured thereon, and alfo 
upon the green leaves in the fecond glafs, and in the 
;:diid glafs fome pieces of the ftalks with fome of their 
leaves with water,
