EXPERIMENT IV.

A Duck, being immers'd by a Weight, after it had lain quiet for a Minute, was a little uneasie; but being quiet at the end of the se∣cond Minute, we took it out, and in a little time it recover'd; but being immers'd again in fresh Water, it emitted several Bubbles at its Beak and Nostrils; and in two Minutes time, began to struggle: At the end of four Minutes ceasing to emit Bubbles, it began to gape, which continu'd two Minutes, and then its Head hang∣ing carelesly down, it seem'd dead; being ta∣ken out a Minute after, it was past Recovery.
