EXPERIMENT IV.

Sept. 9. A Green-Finch being shut up in the same Re∣ceiver, half exhausted, in a Minute was sick, and threw Matter, which she vomited, upon the side of the Glass; upon which, she seem'd bet∣ter, and continu'd so for 3 Minutes, and then being sick, and vomiting as before, she eat part of it up, and seem'd again to recover; some Air getting in, though it was pump'd out again, for the last Eight Minutes, she seem'd better than we expected. At the end of a quarter of an hour, the Bird being not like to die, we took her out.
