General
An unfinished paper for the Académie on the properties of Algae, of which an earlier draft was written on the same leaf with a copy of a letter to Bonaventure Corti dated 10 July 1775. It contains Adanson’s opinion that “revival” of the Tremella is not a “revivification” but a germination from detached parts, comparable to that from seeds.
