to. §, FIRST then, for the Eleven firlt Quarters, the Veffels of ae 
the Bargue are only of Two Kinds. And thele the firft hope i : ae 
to be Roriferous (defcribed alfo in the Anatomy of Roots) (a) and 2°% Pi: 
thofe which are‘common to moft, ifnot to all Plants, fe. the Lymphe- (a) Pte 
duds. Yet inall the Eight, they are, in refpect both of their Propor-“ 3° wae 
tion, and Pofition, very different. So in Hazel and Afh they are but 
few. In Holly and Barberry more. In Apple, Pear, Plum, Elw, fill 
more numerous. And of thofe three Fruits, in an Apple, or Plum, 
more than in a Pear. 
11. §. Again, as their Proportion, fo likewife their Pofition is di- 
vers. For in Holly, the Lympheduéts or inner Veffls next to the Wood, 
ftand in Rays. Yet fonumerous and clofe together,.as to make one qb, 99 
Entire Ring. In Hazel, they ftand more in Oblong Parcels. In Bar- > 3, 2 i 
berry, they ftand likewife in Parcels, but they are fo many Half-Ovals, 
The utmoft ’efels or Roriferous of all Three,make a Ring, 
12. §. Again, in Apple, Pear, and Plum, the Lymphadués are Ra- 
diated. The Roriferous are neither Radiated, nor make an entire Ring ; 

but ftand in Peripherial Parcels, Much after the fame manner, they se a 
alfo ftand in Elw. In Afb, the Vefels make Two Rings 3 but neither Tihs 9: 
ofthem Radiated: the inmoft Ring or Lymphadués, confitting of Ar- 
ched Parcels, and the utmoft or eg ies Veffels, of Round ones: 
And whereas ini all the foregoing, the Lywphednés are ftill contiguous 
to the Wood ; and the Roriferous more or lefs, diftant from the Skins 
here, on the contrary, the former are diftant fromthe Wood, and the 
latter contiguous to the skiz. 
. 13. §. And that thefe Veféls in each Bargque of the faid Eight Bran= 
ches,are of Two diftin& Kinds,feems evident,as from fome other reafons, 
fo from hence 5 Inthat their Pofitions are altogether Heterogeneous: 
Yet in both Conftant, Regular and Uniform. I fay, there feems to be 
no Reafon, why the felf fame Kind or Species of efels, fhould have 
adifferent, yea a contrary Pofition in oneand the fame Plants and that 
Contrariety, not Accidental, but Regular and Conftant. 
14. §. FOR the Three next Quarters fc. the Ninth, Tenth and... 
Eleventh, the weffels of the Barque are alfo different in Number, Poftiion, Tab: 30; 
Size and Kind; In Pine, which isthe Eleventh, they are fewer. In3%> 32 
Walwut the Ninth, more. In Fig, the Tenth, moft numerous. 
15. §. So for their Pofition. In Pine, the inmoft make a Radiated 
Ring. The utmoft ftand stragling up and down, without any certain 
order. In Walnut the inmoft make alfo a Radiated Ring; The ut. 
moft make a Double Rizg; not Radiated, but of Round Parcels: 
In Fig, the inmoft make alfo a Radiated Ring. But the utmoft make 
a Double and fometimes Treble Ring, not of Radiated, nor Round, but 
Arched Parcels. 
16. §. Thirdly, they are alfo different in Kind. Thofe, I think, 
of the two former, Walnut and Fig, are thus different: thofe certain- 
ly, of the Fig, are fo; being Lywpheducts and Latteals. The Lympha- 
duds makethe inmoft Radiated Ring. The outmoft which make the 
other Rigs in Arched Parcels, are the Laéifers. 
17. §. That they are diftinc Kixds of Vefels, is evident for two - 
Reafons. Firft, fromtheir Pofitior in the Bargue; which is ace
