Grains begin, firft to ftand nearer together, to grow biger, and of a 
more unequal Surface 5 and by degrees, to unite ititoa Body, in fome 7, og 
Pears, and efpecially towards the Cork, almoft as hard asa Plum-Stone;° "7° 
which I have thereupon, named the Calculary. So that a Pear, is Na- B 4. Ch.6.

_ 7. §- This Tartareows Body, and thofe fall Grains above faid, 1 
have formerly fuppofed, to be precipitated out of the Sup, by virtue of 
the Veffels. Which is not only argued from their growing, whiere 
the Veffels, only in the outer Parenchyma : but in that the very Bounds 
or Figure of the Calcwlary, is determiried by the Situation of the chief of +, 67. 
thofe Vefels5 asin cuting a Pear fmoothly through the Centre and by 
the Length, is apparent. 1 ; 
8. §. The Coar as well asthe Acetary, feems to be dérived from the 
Pith. Andis therefore leffer here, than in an Apple, where the whole 
Pith of the stalk, goes to the making of the Cozr only. 
9. §. Inmoft Pears, at the bottom of the Cor, and a little below 
the Centre of the Fruit, there is a kind of {mall Umbelical Kuot 5, from 126. 67- 
whence isextended.a ftraight Chavel or Duéfws, which opens at the 
midle of the Cork or Stool of the Flower, {carce wide enough to admit 
the fmalleft Piz. Made for the Ue hereafter mentioned. 
to. § A QUINCE, is nearly allyedtoa Pear. The diffe- 
rences betwixt them are thefe; In the Quince, the outer Parenthyma 
is more clofe, that is, the Bladders are {maller. The Veféls more nu- Tab. 67. 
merous, and more deeply enarched 5 the Calculary greater, and more 
{pread 5 according to the Shape of the Frit. but the Acetary, lefs: 
The Coar ftands higher or nearer to the Cork 3 divided, not into Five, 
but Four Cells. And the Duévs from the bottom of the Coar to the 
top of the Frz#, much more open and obfervable.

PLUM confifteth of a Parenchyma, the Two " 
general Kinds of Vefels, and a stone. Allwhich 
I have already defcribed in the Firf? Wook, ICA. 6. 
fhall here add, and further clear fome things. 
And Firft, it isto be noted, That, in Pro- 
portion to the Bulk of the Fruit, there are more 
Veffels in a Phim, than in an Apple; Pear, or 
Quince. Asalfo, That in Plums, all the Vefels are 
braced together into one Uniform Piece of Net-Work, every where 
terminating at an equal diftance from the Grcumference, fc. 3h of an Tab. 68.

the Gla I ufed, when I examined this Frat, would not reach it 5 yet
