He observed, that when the Water wherewith ¬ he had diluted the Semen of a CodFiſh ¬ was exhaled, the little Bodies of the Animalcules burst in Pieces, which did not happen to thoſe in the Semen of a Ram: which he imputes to the greater Firmness and Consistency of the latter, as the Flesh of a Land-Animal is more compact than that of a Fiſh. He likewise takes Notice, that the Tails of those in Fishes are so extreamly slender, that he could never be certain of his seeing the very Tips or Extremities of them. In the Milt of a Jack, at least ten thousand Animalcules were discernable, in a Quantity not bigger than a Grain of Sand, exactly, in Appearance, like thoſe of the CodFish; ¬ and upon putting I four times as much Water to it, they were perceived to become stronger and brisker, and to swim * Phil.
