Abstract
ON a blood orange being cut open by my little daughter yesterday, a small orange was found inside, which, although no larger than a hazel-nut, was yet perfect in form and colour. It showed no point of difference, other than that of size, as compared with the parent orange, and there was nothing in the appearance of the uncut fruit suggestive of the miniature of itself carried within. My sole right to write upon this subject is one you have always recognized in your journal, viz. that to record an interesting fact.
