telam lineam fericeamve textura /ua emitlans ; and fends out 
Clufters of Veficles from feveral Parts of its creeping Tube, 
each of which has a black Spot in it, like the Spawn of Frogs:

in them, as isreprefented in the magnified Fig. C, Plate XV,

Among many other marine Subftances received freth oth 
the Sea, in September 1753, this Object happened to prefent 
itfelf under my magnifying Glaffes ; when, to my Surprize, 
‘I found thofe grape-like Bodies were a Clufter of Poly- 
pes, each having eight Claws or Tentaculi, very lively, ex- 
tending themfelves about in purfuit of Prey ;. and upon their 
dying, the Animals contracted themfelves into their Veicles, 
which clofed at the Top: What we difcover as a Spot, is 
only the Inteftines of the Polype with its Food in it.
