Vol. VI, p. 292. § 71. The existence of VEGETABLE SUBSTANCES, producta phy- toidea, is much more rare and restricted in living animal bodies, than the animals already noticed; and here only be- long the formation of MouLD, byssus, and of FUNGUSEs, fungus, which rarely occur in foul wounds,’ and on dirty, moist parts of the skin,’ and such as are disposed to mois- ture from lying still, consisting of confervi, oscillatoria, tangee, spongiz, tremelli, &c., which are not unfrequently seen on the old or diseased skins of many animals living in sea or fresh water; for instance, of fish, particularly the carp, of the mollusca, the crustacea, and the water chafers, &c.
