Excerpt from Rare and Remarkable Animals of Scotland, Represented From Living Subjects, Vol. 2: With Practical Observations on Their Nature; Containing Fifty-Six Coloured Plates But there is another great and numerous tribe of animal products, resembling foliage only; while distributed in like proportion, their tenants dwell in different combinations and arrangement. Here, though associated in thousands, does each preserve its own peculiar place; living solely for itself, independent of the life, the death, and the circumstances of its nearest neighbour. Among the multitudes restricted to limited space, we discover no reciprocal bond or connection, nor any common channel of communication between them: neither any internal pith or medullary substance pervading the polyparium.
