water-heaps which formed them, and just double in number to the latter. At dther times, the sand, instead of being deficient at the intersecting angle, would accumulate there only, fig. 20;

and at other times would accumulate there principally, but still show the original form by a few connecting particles, fig. 21.
88. When the heaps were of the form described (84), the sand was still washed from under them; it did not however assume lines parallel to the rectangular arrangement of the heaps, but was arranged as in fig. 22.

89. When only the circular linear heaps (83) were produced, the sand assumed similar circular forms, concentric and alternating with the water elevations.
90. On strewing a little lycopodium over the water for the purpose of gaining information relative to what occurred at the surface during the crispation, it moved about over the fluid in every possible direction, whilst the crispations existed of the utmost steadiness beneath. The same thing occurred with pieces of cork on very large crispations (98). But when much lycopodium was put on, so that the particles retained each other in a steady position, then it formed lines[1] parallel to the arrangement of the heaps, the powder being displaced from the parts over the heaps, and taking up an arrangement perpendicularly over the sand beneath. As the lycopodium forms float on the water they are easily disturbed, and in no respect approach as to beauty and utility to the forms produced by the sand; but lycopodium may be used with smaller crispations than sand.
