pery iamshess Thefe are compofed of Joints of Cells, placed 
in Pairs Back to Back. The Opening of each is on a Slant 
near the Top, and looks the contrary Way to the other: So 
that the Pair together refembles a Coat of Mail, or Pair of 
Stays; and the Entrances of the Cells look fe the Places 
for the Arms to come out at. The Joints, or Pairs of Cells,
