DESCRIPTION
OF THE
Natural and Artificial
RARITIES
IN THIS
MUSÆUM And first of HUMANE. BURNT Bones found in a

Roman Urn near

Peckam in

Surry,
given me by the Learned

Dr. Gale late Dean of

Yorke, who
presented the Rest, with

the Pot they were found in, to the

Royal Society. Others lately found in their Burying-Place at

Yorke, without

Boutham-
Bar: Also the Ashes of a

Child in a

small Urn, above Twenty of
which were placed round a large one, that was supposed to contain
the Remains of their common Parent. The Custom of Burning the
Dead ceased about the Time of the

Antonines, who re-introduced that
of Burying: And one Part of the said

Roman Sepulture was employ-
ed to that Purpose, where in digging for Clay, there was found nine
Foot deep a remarkable Lead Coffin, enclosed in another of strong
Oak Planks; the Bones were entire, though probably interred 1500
Years ago;

a Thigh Bone,

and the lower Jaw (furnished with all the
Teeth) were preserved, and afterwards given me by

Mr. Montague Gyles. 430

A Fragment of an

Egyptian Mummy, the Flesh converted into a
Sort of black Rosin by the Oil or Gums used at the embalming, which
hath so incorporated it self, that the very inmost Part of the Bones
are of as black a Colour, as if burnt. Here are also Samples of three
different Sorts of Linen Cloths, wherein it was wrapped, each of
deeper Tincture than other, the outmost painted with Blue. Given
me by

Mr. Kemp of

London, who hath two entire Mummies with
Hieroglyphicks.

Part of a Sort of Mummy found at or near

Chester. Don.

Hen.
Prescot Arm. Whether from the Nature of the Soil where it was
found, or by embalming, I have not heard; but some Ground is of
such a Nature, and particularly a sandy Desert in

Africa, that Hu-
mane Bodies laid in the same, do not in the least corrupt, but be-
come like Mummies. (a)(a)

Gordon's Geogr. p. 300.. The Ribs, Vertebræ,

Skull, (the largeness whereof is observable) and
other Bones of a Humane Foetus, extracted from the Navel of

a poor
Woman at

Coxwold, An. 1701. By

Mr. Birbeck of

Yorke, who present-
ed them to me. An Account of this remarkable Case and Cure is al-
ready published. (b)(b) Phil. Trans. N° 275.

Paper stain'd to a perfect Claret Colour, by the
Urine of

Capt. Croft of

Leedes.

The fatal Stick cut out of the Body
of

Edmund Preston of

Leedes, the noted Butcher, thought to be the
best Footman in

England; he died of the Wound he received by it in
skipping over a Hedge after some strayed Sheep, An. 1700.

A Shred
of a Man's Skin, extreamly thick, being tanned.

A remarkable Calculus, consisting of several Coasts or Crusts, taken out
of the Bladder of

Dr. Robinson of

Burniston: Upon his Dissection
were found 35, some as large as Nutmegs or small Wall-nuts; it much
resembles Bezoar. Given me by his

Relict, who is Great-Grand-Daugh-
ter to the famous Archbishop

Toby Matthews. Fourscore Stones of different Forms and Bigness, some an Inch and
a half long, others roundish and rugged, voided from the Penis of
an aged Minister,

Mr. Creswick of

Beghall, and sent me by his Execu-
tor

Mr. Priestly, who had a Box containing about Six hundred of
them; they are dark coloured and gritty. Some large Stones voided,
and others cut out of the Urethra of

Joshua, the Son of

Thomas Spurret
of

Leedes; two very odd ones taken out of the right Kidney, and
two very large found in the Bladder when he was dissected Nov. 1711.
by the ingenious

Mr. S. Pollard, who presented them to me: One of
them weighed near two Ounces, is 5 ½ Inches in Circumference one
Way, and 4 the other. These are whiter and smoother than the Rest,
but broader.

But the most remarkable is one voided 16 Febr. 1710. by

Anne
Moorcraft a poor Widow, yet living in the Alms-House at

Wakefield
when she was three Months above Fourscore Years of Age. It is yet
(though Part wasted) 4 ½ Inches in Circumference one Way, and
above half a Foot the other. This was the acceptable Present of the

Reverend Mr Scot Vicar of

Wakefield.

A small smooth Stone of a Straw Colour, taken with Two hundred
more out of the Gall-Bladder of

Mrs. Varey of

New Castle under Line.
Don.

Rev. Geo. Plaxton, Rect.

Bervic. Three Balls voided by Stool, by

Allice Hollings a poor Girl at

Raw-
den near

Leedes, one smooth and glossy, the Colour of a Hasle Nut;
the other two rough and gritty, of an obtuse Triangular Form, 5 ½ 431 Inches round, yet swim in Water, being of a light, fuzzy Matter,
intermix'd with a gritty, in distinct Coats one above another alter-
nately. See a further Account in the Phil. Trans. (c). (c) N° 291. Don.

Dor. Ward.

Another in the form of a Heart, lately voided by

an antient Person at

Ardsley, and sent me by

Dr. Craister. Two very large, taken from

Will. Coldell, and sent me by

Capt. West, with an Attestation under
the Hand of the Surgeon:

One of them is six Inches the one Way,
and seven

the other, almost in Form of an Echinus, or Helmet Stone;
they weighed nine Ounces when first evacuated (10 May 1693.) and
were removed by Diet-Drink with an Alkaly Powder, &c. (d). (d) Phil. Trans. N° 304. From
these we may see the Danger of Swallowing the Stones of Fruit.
Here are some Plum-Stones voided by

Mrs. C. (with one of these Balls
that endangered her Life) though she had not of twelve Months eaten
any of that Fruit.

In the Philosophical Transactions, N° 297. is registred an Account
of the

Bolton

Boy (

Nath. Hulme), upon whose Thumbs, Fingers and
Toes, grew certain Horny Excrescencies, which fell off once a Year.
He was living An. 1704, had shed them five or six several Times,
and had then both his Hands armed with them: Those upon his Toes
he kept under by continually cutting, that he might be able to wear
Shoes. The

Reverend Dr. Wroe, Warden of

Manchester College, obli-
ged me with one of these Horns, which is three Inches long.

A late

Author has given us the Picture of

Mary Davis of

Chester, with two
growing upon her Head, An. 1680. (e)(e) Dr.

Leigh's Hist. of

Lanc. and

Chesh. Tab. VII. .

And in the

Bibliotheca at

Edinburg, I saw a remarkable Horn, and transcribed this Account of
it, which is engraven upon a Silver Plate fixed thereunto.
This Horn was cut (by

Arthur Temple Chyrurgeon) out of
the Head of

Elizabeth Love, being three Inches above the
Ear; before these Witnesses

Andrew Temple, Tho, &c.
14 May 1671. It was growing seven Years; her Age
Fifty.
The Keeper of the Library told me it was nine Inches long. In this Repository are two others, though not so long as that from

Bolton, yet much more solid confirmed Horns, cut from the Toes of

Dr. Rousel of

Leedes, half an Inch thick at the Root, and two Inches
long.

A Pugill of the Dust (unmix'd with Earth) of a noble Countess,
not easily distinguish'd from common Dust and Ashes.

But the most
noted of all the Humane Curiosities, is the Hand

and Arm cut off at
the Elbow, positively asserted to be that of the

Celebrated Marquiss
of

Montrose, whose Quarters were disposed of to several Cities of

Scotland, whence this was brought. It hath never been interred, has
a severe Wound in the Wrist, and seems really to have been the very
Hand that wrote the famous Epitaph [Great, Good, and Just,] for

K. Charles 1st. in whose Cause he suffered.

Dr. Pickering would not
part with it till the Descent into

Spain; when dreading it should be
lost in his Absence, he presented it to this Repository, where it has
more than once had the same Honour that is paid to the greatest Ec-
clesiastical Prince in the World. 432 QUADRUPEDES. Of Quadrupedes Viviperous, particularly First, such as are Multifidous.

THEThe Foot of a great White Bear, eight Inches broad, which is
two Inches larger than that in the Repository of the

Royal So-
ciety; yet that was even supposed to have been as big as a Bull (f)(f) Dr. Grew's Musæum Regal. Soc. p. 12. .
Don.

Franc. Burdet Barti.

The Skeleton of a Greyhound. Don.

Jo. Errington. Arm. The Quills of a Porcupine, 10 ½ Inches long, alternately Black

Streakes. Viviperous Quadrupedes that are Bifidous. THEThe Horns of a Roe Deer of

Greenland, little more than an Inch
long, so strangely does the Climate alter the Bulk of some Ani-
mals; the Deer in

New Mexico being so big, that they breed them up
to draw with, as we do with Oxen.

The Skull and Horns of a Deer
from - - - - the Horns 2 ½ Inches length, the Knobs about the middle
of them. Horns of a

Spanish Ram, wrinkled and twisted 18 Inches long, the

Don.

R. R. D. Episc.

what Animals uncertain; three Inches in length, and four by the In-
dentings round. Don.

D. Sar. Dodgson.

A prodigious Tooth of an Elephant; it is eleven Inches in Circum-
ference, besides what hath been broken off. The Bones of this Crea-
ture are frequently exposed as Humane, and this accordingly pass'd as
a Giant's Tooth, but is one of the Grinders of an Elephant; and per-
haps of the very same Animal mentioned in the Additions to

Derby-
shire (g)(g)

Camden's Brit. N. E. p. 497. ; whence this was brought, and given me by

Dr. Hayford
Wainwright.

The Horn of an Anonymous Creature, curiously wreathed; it is
black and shining, 3 ½ Inches in length, and 1 ½ thick at the Root,
whence it tapers to a sharp Point.

The Tail of a very large scaly
Creature; it is 14 Inches in length, consists of 13 Rounds, each gra-
dually less than other, from four Inches Diameter, where it joins the
Body to half an Inch at the Extent of it: In the midst of each of
these Rounds is a circular Line indented; which, with certain trans-
verse Lines, form two Rows of small Partitions or Cels, from 10 in
the smallest to 35 in the largest Round. Both these, with other valuable
Curiosities from

India, were sent by

Sam. Molineux, of

Dublin, Esq; Of Balls or Stones taken out of Animals.

A Naked and round hairy Ball taken out of the Stomach of a
Calf.

A large incrustated Ball found in the Stomach of an Ox at

Hallifax.
Don.

Rev. Nath. Priestley.

Another from

Yorke. Don.

Rev. Jo. Hotham.
Upon the Receipt of this, I cut one of them asunder; it is three
Inches Diameter; the shining Cover is very thin, and an incredible
Quantity of Hair close wrought therein, by the Motion of the Sto-
mach which in these Creatures are very strong and frequent, where-
by the Hair is compacted together, as Wool by the Workman's Hand
in making a Hat. The Hair of this is brown, whereas another in
this Collection (sent from

Ireland) is very black.

Another from

Mr. Ducing, the Coast bright, as though polished.

But the largest of
all was taken out of a Cow of

B. Ainsley's at

Leedes; it is above a
Foot in Compass, and more compress'd than the former.

A small one, with the like shining Cover from a Sheep, and three
out of one Lamb kill'd in the Shambles here: These are about an
Inch and half Diameter, and are compos'd of Wool, as the Cows of
Hair; but these three want the thick shell-like Cover. Five smooth Stones found with above fifty more in a Bag near the
Heart in the upper Ventricle of a fat Cow, that was kill'd An. 1701. at

Adwick near

Doncaster, and were brought me thence by

Jasper Blyth-
man Esq; Recorder of

Leedes and

Doncaster. Four larger found in
the Belly of an Ox in

Craven, and sent me by

Step. Tempest Esq; they
are four Inches round.

And to quit these Matters at once; in the Belly of a Trout from
the River

Wherfe, was found a Stone rough and oblong, near 2 ½ Inches 434
one Way, and three the other, sent me by

Robert Hitch Esq; Twenty
nine Escalop-shells, taken out of the Maw of a Plaise at

Dr. Midgley's of

this Town. And a few of the Echinus Kind from another Fish at

Dr. Richardson's. Oviperous Quadrupedes.

posed of Black and Citrine, 13 entire round, or rather Pentagonal Fi-
gures, besides the Halves at the Edge. Don.

Gul. Mo-
lineux Arm.)

Another but 13 ½ Inches, yet near as broad, viz. 9 ½ Inches.

The Pizle of a Sea-Tortoise 12 Inches long and 2 ½ round. Their Em-
braces continue a whole Lunary Month, as a grave Author tells us
(h)(h) Dr.

Grew's Mus. Reg. Soc. p. 38.

The large Sea-Tortoise brought from the

Isle of Ascension in

South
America, by

Dr. Midgley of

this Town who presented it to me; it is
near a Foot above three Yards in Circumference. The Natives make
Boats of the Shells. For

this ingenious Traveller (to whom I am obli-
ged for several Curiosities) having been five Voyages in the

East-
Indies, his Nephew

Mr. Robert Midgley Minister of

Hulsingor, composed
this Distich. Hæc mihi lustrantem Regionibus orbis Eoi, Heu procul a Patriis dissita mira focis, Tot sævos doluit quondam tolerasse labores, Jam bene defunctos commemorasse libet.

A Crocodile, six Foot wanting three Inches in length, the same Ani-
mal that is call'd the Leviathan in Job: There are some in

Legs being 13, and the fore eight.

A young One of the same Kind,
the Body little more than five Inches.

The Skeleton of another. Don.
D.

Hall,

Bervic.

The Gouana it seems is of the same Kind, only more remarkable for

the Body; for this is but eight Inches, whereas the Tail is three
Inches above two Foot. Don. D.

Amongst the Curiosities sent me by

Mr. Molineux,
there is one larger than either; and whereas an ingenious Author
saith, they seldom exceed a Yard and Quarter, this is a Yard and
half in length; the Rattle consists of ten Cells.

Here is a Rattle of
four only; and

another of eight that was brought from

Pensylvania.
Don.

black alternately. BIRDS. First, Of Land-Fowls.

THEThe Bird of Paradise, call'd Manucodiata, or the Bird of

God,
by the Natives of the

Molucca Islands, who worship them. It
was not long since generally believed, not by the Vulgar only, but
the greatest Naturalists themselves, that they wanted Feet; and I late-
ly saw one, that, to countenance this Error, was mutilated; but all
Persons are now sufficiently convinced that this is false, both by
the Testimony of Eye-Witnesses, and the Birds themselves brought
over entire, as this was from

Java, by

Dr. Midgley, who presented it
to me.

A Plume of long Feathers of another Manucodiatæ of the same
Species.

A White Peacock. The Claws of an Eagle. The Claws of an

An Ispida or King-Fisher.

The

D. Sanf. Nevile.

A very
436 Large Quill of an Anonymous Bird. It is little short of the Cunter

Leedes. Don.

D. Gul. Cookson Merc. EGGS.

THEThe Egg of an Ostrich very smooth and white, above 15 Inches
in Circumference, almost of a Spherical Figure. Pieces of the
like Shells, by which it appears, that the Thickness is answerable to
its Bigness.

The Egg of a Sea-Mew (or perhaps of a Guillemot) Ash-
coloured, tinged with blackish Spots, acutely, conical, and larger than
that of a Hen, from a noted Island not far from

Lancaster, called the

Pile of Foudres, where great Flocks of divers Sorts of Sea-Fowl year-
ly breed. Variety of Eggs of different Forms, Sizes and Colours, with
and without Spots.

In the Miscellanea Curiosa. N° 68. and the Journal de Sçavans (b)(b) Phil. Trans. N° 230 , is
the Relation of a small Egg found within a great one; such an Ovum
in Ovo was sent me by

Mr. Nich. Fenay of

Fenay, the larger Egg hath
nothing extraordinary in its Form or Size, but the inner is more Sphe-
rical, and very small, about the Bigness of that of a Pigeon, but as
solid a Shell as the outer.

The Egg of a Hen with a thick Knob, or

is rugged. Now comparing this, with those in the Head of an entire
Shark, amongst the Curiosities of the

Royal Society, (which are not
half an Inch in the Animal that is two Yards long (d)(d) Idem, pag. 91. , and it will
appear, that the Shark, to which this belonged, hath been above thir-
ty Foot in Length.

The Gula of the Shark is so wide, that a Man
may be swallowed entire; and some are of Opinion, that

Jonah was
in the Belly of one of these Fishes three Days and Nights (e)(e)

Other Matters relating to Fishes not reduceable to the former Heads,
viz. the Skin of the Maw of the Fish taken at

Macasser, Febr. 1680.
the Fibres do curiously and naturally resemble a Tree with its Stem,
Branches, Leaves, &c. The Skin it self is very thin, whitish and trans-
parent, and the Veins that compose the Stem, are now a black, rather
than dark red, as I presume they were at first; and those that form
the Leaves are a Sort of deep or faded green, variegated. The Figure
of it may be seen in the Phil. Trans. (m)(m) Phil. Trans. N° 227. .

Another as large from

Sir William Thornton, and

three of different Sizes (of which one is a
Foot and half round) from

Mr. Molineux of

Dublin.

A Wilk with
both the Lips deeply wrinkled and furrowed; and the Right Lip so
expanded, that it is as broad as long, and in Circumference more than
double, viz. 13 Inches: The Turban is compressed and the Body of
the Shell so convex, that it is four Inches high though little more
than five in Length.

The Benefactor last mentioned sent me also a
remarkable Wilk, that hath on one Side six large Spikes, or Feet, as
they are called in the Murex Carocoides, and one at the End; from
whence to the End of the Whirl, which is knobbed above half a Foot,
one of the Spikes is an Inch and half long.

The Square Wilk or Buc-
cina Romboidea: It is spiked, and hath also a Canale or guttered
Horn about an Inch long, which is half the Length of the whole Shell.

A very pretty spiked Wilk of seven Rounds, four Inches in Length. 440 Of the

English Marine Shells, mentioned by

Dr. Lister (a)Cochlearum Angliæ, p. 154., here are
all the several Sorts of the Wilks, viz.

1st. the largest; it is five Inches
long, the Shell white, thick, and very heavy; his 2d Sort with deep
Furrows, and striated,

one larger than his, (viz. six Inches in Circum-
ference)

and one less; but these being old are white within, not
Purple, as when new gathered: These are from

Scarborough.

A small
one from the

Dublin Shore, not half an Inch in Length. His 3d Sort
are a much thinner Shell, yellowish, and without the waved Fur-
rows.

The 4th hath the Turban prolonged into eight Rounds; it is
white and finely striated, about two Inches long, and as much in Cir-
cumference; others of fewer Circumvolutions.

His 5th is the thickest
Shell of all, considering the Size, which is but an Inch and half in
Length.

A Greenish Shell that answers his last.

These, and almost all other Shells wind from the Mouth towards the
Left Hand, but

Dr. Sloane obliged me with one (found at a consider-
able Depth under Ground) that turns quite contrary Way, viz. to
the Right; it is of a deep Orange or Chestnut Colour;

as is also ano-
ther lately received from

Roger Gale Esq; which was found in a Cliff
near

Harwich, that falling down discovered a considerable Bed of them,
all turn'd the same Way. This hath a Hole perforated very pro-
bably by the Purple Fish, as that learned Gentleman conjectures from
this Passage in

Pliny, (Lib.9.) Lingua Purpuræ longitudine digitali, qua
pascitur perforando reliqua conchylia, tanta duritia aculeo est.

The next Sort of the

English Sea-Shells, mentioned by that celebra-
ted Naturalist (b)(b) Idem, pag. 160. , is the Buccinum crassum, whose Turban is extended
to a great Length. This, as his, consists of twelve Spiral Wreaths,
and the Space betwine the Lines is Concave or Hollow: It is a Shell
rarely found, is three Inches long,

whereas the other Sort is but one,
and very thin: They are frequently met with upon the

Dublin Shore
(whence these were sent me) and after a Storm upon the

English Shore
about

Lancaster, &c. This hath also twelve Wreaths, and is whitish.

Here is another that is red,

and one that came from

Jamaica of a very
dark Colour.

A large one with the Rounds of the Turban swelling,
and double to the biggest of the

English in Circumference, viz. four
Inches.

Of the turbinated Shells with many Whirles, here is one very
curiously striated, with transverse Lines, and rostro recurvo. It was
given me by the Reverend

Mr. Stonestreet of

London, who hath a most
noble Collection of Shells. Others with bossed or knobbed Turbans
of various Colours, inclining to red, yellow and white; and as to
Size from a Quarter of an Inch to two inches in Length.

Cochlea Margaritis æmula (c)(c) Museum

Wormianum, p. 257., the great round mouth'd Snail of a Pearl
Colour. It is the largest of the turbinated Shells, half a Yard in Cir-
cumference; the Pearl Colour of the inside is natural, of the outside
artificial.

Another, smooth and very beautiful, but not entire.

Ano-
ther, Cochlea cælata, engraved and painted with various Colours and
Figures.

The Nassau cochlea, with dark Spots upon a Chestnut co-
loured Ground, from

Mr. Stonestreet,

together with a third Shell, viz.

The Cylindric Rhomboid Cochlea, with white Spots upon a dark
Ground.

Another with dark upon white.

Here is also a third very
curiously variegated, with triangular Figures white upon black: It is
four Inches in Circumference, though but two in Length: The Tur-
bans of all these are very little exerted above the Plain of the Shell. 441

But here is a very rare one given me by

Dr. Pelham Johnston, who
brought it from

Spain, that may fitly be stiled, Cochlea immerso turbine;
for the Rounds of the Turban, which in most Shells is prominent, in
this are turned inward, and sunk within the Body of the Shell, which
is seven Inches long, and 14 Round; it is white, smooth (except the
Spikes upon the Whirl) and Oval.

Dr. Lister, among the

English Marines, gives us two of the Trochi,
figura conoides (d)(d) Cochl. Ang. pag. 166. . Here are both the Sorts, white with red Spots,
the larger is little more than half an Inch in Length, yet two Inches
round. These of half Inch broad are the largest that are found in
our Seas;

Another but

Mr. Molineux obliged me with a very curious one that
is better than four Inches in the Basis, and as much in Height, in a
Piramidal Form: It is of a Pearl Colour, only the broadest of the six
Rounds is undulated with Crimson: These differ from all the Rest of
the turbinated Shells, in that the Circumvolutions are neither Con-
vex or Concave, but even and smooth.

Another Shell of the former
Sort, with Convex Whirls waved with Pearl Colour and Black. Of the Land and River Shells, mentioned by

Dr. Lister, here are
the Citrine Snail-Shells, and sad coloured singly, the White with dark
Stripes, broad and narrow, Yellowish and Olive-coloured. Also of the
compress'd Kind, with the Navel-like hollow, and Variety of Colours
Crimson, Green and Dark, curiously waved, frequently intermix'd
with Pearl Colour, generally half Inch broad, as he writes, but one
a compleat Inch. The River Shells are thicker, and as to Colour, here
are of the dark Ash, brown, yellow, red, white and strip'd. The Ne-
ritæ also, whose Turbans are mightily depressed, almost flat, and of
the turbinated Shells; some very small, not a Quarter of an Inch long,
and of different Colours, white, faint red, deep, and light yellow,
and Ash coloured.

The mailed Sailer, both within and without of a Pearl Colour.

Venus Shell, Concha Veneris vel inverecunda; this is white and large,
with both Lips furrowed.

The bunch back'd

Venus Shell, it is dark co-
loured.

The long

Venus Shell, with white Spots upon a bay Ground.

Another somewhat less.

The high back'd with Purple Spots upon a
white Ground.

Another with the like Spots upon a dark-coloured
Ground; all the before-mentioned are about seven or eight Inches
in Circumference.

Here is another Sort about an Inch long, or a little more or less; those
whose Lips are white, are stained with dark Spots upon the Backs,
which are a Bay Colour, except the white Ridge: Others are of an Orange
Colour, all with furrowed Lips and smooth Backs.

But there is a
third Sort very small, not above the third Part of an Inch in Length,
white or inclining to a pale Red that are found in the North of

Eng-
land, where they are called Nuns; these are full of small Furrows
with transverse Lines: This Sort is particularly called Entalia. Those
from

Jamaica have a deeper Furrow round the bunched Back, and
Knobs upon the Margent.

Here is one with a very sharp needle-like
Spike upon the Back of it. The smooth ones are used by the

Italians
for polishing of Paper, and by the

Egyptians for smoothing Linen.

The Round Sea Urchin, or Button Fish from the

Scarborough Shore,
with and without the Prickles, one little more than an Inch in Dia-
meter.

Another a Foot in Circumference, with ten Orders of the
little protuberant Studs: These were anciently eaten raw as Oysters; 442
they are brownish inclining to red.

A Fragment of one from the

Irish Coasts curiously variegated, white Specks upon a Purple Ground,
intermix'd with Red.

Part of another very thick and strong, with
large Knobbs or Bosses, I suppose from

India. The Mare-Maids Head, Echinus Ovarius: These are very rare and
much less than the former; of four from the

Indies, not one above

Dr. Lister (g)(g) De. Cochl. Marinis, Tab. 5. . viz. the large
one with 14 Ridges and as many Furrows, with the Striæ in
straight Lines from the Head to the Margin, enclining to a Red, four
Inches in Length and 4 ½ in Breadth; another five broad; a third
less, but of a different Colour, yellowish.

His 2d Sort is curiously
striated with twenty Ridges; it is red, spotted with white: This
strictly corresponds with his in Length, almost two Inches, larger
than which he had not seen one.

But here is a very fine one with 443
a Purple Blush within, that exceeds it in a 5th Part:

And a third that
is less than either, yet a like Number of Furrows.

The Doctor's third
Sort is easily distinguish'd from all others by its Narrowness being
but one Inch broad and almost two in Length.

Dr. Grew mentions the Coralline Scallop without Ears.

Here
is one that answers his Description, save the Colour, which is Orange.

But the most remarkable of all is an Ash-coloured one, from the Top
of the

Apalatæan Mountains, that part

Virginia on the West, from
the Rest of the

American Continent; upon which Mountains great
Numbers of them, and other Shells, are found, which is an undeni-
able Argument of an universal Deluge. Don.

Roger Gale Arm.

Even the smallest Pecten or Scallope, hath Auriculæ, whereas the lar-
gest Pectunculus, or those of the Cockle-kind, want the Ears. Of Cockles, here are the white, brown, and blew, or deep Ash-co-
loured, differently striated.

The large Cockle with Prickles, or Pectun-
culus echinatus, from

Tees and

Scarborough after Storms, and from the

Irish Shore; it is above two Inches broad, (three by the Convexity)
hath 20 deep Furrows, and upon the intermediate Ridges certain sharp
Prickles, ten upon a Ridge: This is well delineated by

Dr. Lister (h)(h) Idem N° 35. .

Another of them 6 ½ Inches in Circumference, the Striæ in these are
from the Head to the Margin.

One of the common Size without
Prickles, and hath also transverse Striæ towards the Margin.

Another
with eighteen of these Circular Lines from Side to Side, and those so
deeply furrowed that they almost obscure those from the Head
to the Margin; one Side of these is much shorter than the other.

The small white Cockle hath the Shell equally extended on both
Sides: Of this Sort here is an entire Cockle, only a Quarter of an
Inch long, yet hath 26 Ridges.

The Carolina Dish Cockle; it is two Inches above a Quarter of a Yard
round, will contain near half a Pint of Water; it has 36 of the
like Ridges, with the Pectunculus echinatus, but none of the Aculei;
it was brought from thence, and given me by

Chr. Gale Esq; her Ma-
jesty's Attorney General in

Carolina.

A very thick Shell four Inches broad, with ten Ridges, of which
the middlemost is very high; one End of the Shell is compress'd;
it is white with Purple Spots.

As to the Muscle Kind, the common Sort are 2 ½ Inches broad, and
little above one in Length (i)(i) Idem, p. 182. ; but here is one that is full two Inches
long, and four in Breadth: In other Things it agrees with the Vul-
gar being on the out-side, Ex cæruleo niger, and within albescit ex cæru-
lea: It was sent me from

Ireland.

A Muscle Shell from

Bermuda's;
it is of the usual Size, but different Colours, viz. reddish and yel-
low.

The ponderous thick shell'd Mussel from the rapid

River Tees
near five Inches broad; the thin and light ones from Ponds and Still-
Waters:

The largest that so curious and inquisitive a Person as

Dr. Li-
ster had met with, was two Inches and 3 ½ (k)(k) Idem, de Cochl. Fluviat. p. 146. . But one here is 3 ½
one Way, and half a Foot the other; it is Yellowish and Green
without, and a shining Bright within.

Another somewhat less, but
beautiful, strip'd with green, yellow and dark Colour. 444 Other Bivalves that suit the 19th, 20th and 21th. in the 4th Table
of the Cochl. Marin.

The 22d also, which is remarkably thick and
almost round, with small Circular Lines on the Convex Side, and up-
on the Hinge within are two or three Protuberances or Teeth, with
Cavities betwixt to receive those of the other Valve: Some of these
are near a Foot in Circumference, others but six Inches; and as to
Colours, Dark, White and Yellow.

The 23d is slender, with small
Striæ from Side to Side.

One that hath also transverse Lines from the
Head to the Margin.

The Sheath-Shell, as it is commonly called, because of its Form; it
is improperly called a Long Shell, because, saith a noted Author, the
Length of a Shell is properly from the Navel to the Edge directly
opposite (l)(l)

Dr. Grew's Mus. Reg. Soc. p. 143. , and the Breadth between the two Sides thence produced,
so that this Shell is but one Inch in Length, and seven in Breadth.
Most of these are white, but where the Cuticula remains it is greenish,
and curiously variegated with white and dark Colours, as in

Dr. L's
Figure of it (m)(m) Dr.

Lister de Cochl. Marinis, Tab. 5. 37. .

The Bivalve of the Tellina Kind, differ from all the Sorts of the
Pectunculus, in that they are of a Rhomboide Form, longer from Side
to Side, than from the Head to the opposite Margin. One here strict-
ly answers the Colour of

Dr. Lister's (n)(n) Idem, p. 190. , Ex viola purpurascens; three
other very beautiful transparent Shells, but larger (near three Inches),
one clear white, the other two variegated with Crimson. Small ones
of this smooth transparent Kind, little more than half an Inch broad.
Others a little rounder, and of various Colours, White, Blew, Pur-
ple, and with brown Stripes. The laminated Tellina is of a more solid,
thicker Substance, liker the common Cockle, but consists of three or
four of those Lamina which gradually encrease in Breadth, from the
Head to the Margin. Of these I gathered great Variety in

Holland,
35 Years ago, which do yet retain the Beauty of their different Co-
lours, some regularly shaded with lighter and deeper Tinctures at the
Edge of each Lamella. Here are of them from half an Inch to above
an Inch and half in Breadth. I shall conclude these with the last of

Dr. Lister's Bivalves (o)(o) Idem, Tab. 5. 39. , which
is a thin white Shell striated both Ways, and sometimes, tho' rarely,
found at the Mouth of the

River Tees.

After the double Shells, or with two Valves, there remain some
which are made up of several Shelly Pieces, conjoined as the Balanus
and the Concha Anatifera.

The Balanus or Conick Centre-Shell is in
Shape somewhat like a Tulip, the Shelly Plates being pointed at the
Top, and standing up as so many Leaves; they always grow fixed
to some other Body:

Here is one fixed to a Stone;

another to an
Oyster Shell; several upon a Barnacle, and no less than 18 small
ones upon a little Limpet in less than the Compass of an Inch; which,
I suppose, to be the Species that

Dr. Grew (p)(p)

Grew's Mus. R. S. p. 148. calls the Spunge Centre-
Shell: But the Form is best discovered in the Balanus Major; two of
which are upon that remarkable Escalope from

Virginia before-men-
tioned.

The Barnacle or Concha Anatifera Britannia, is the other plurivalved
Shell, that by a long Neck, somewhat resembling a Wind-pipe, sticks
to, and breeds upon any Wood or other Matter floating in the Sea.
It hath in it some Cirrhi, which have been fancied to resemble a little 445
Bird, which was formerly believed to grow to the Bigness of a Goose.
See the old Notion expressed by a very ingenious Gentleman in the
Phil. Trans. (q)(q) N° 137. But the most judicious and rational Account (there

curate Method of the Learned

Dr. Sloane, in his Catalogus Plantarum in
Insula

Jamaica; by whose Kindness I am furnished with 30 different
Sorts of these very rare exotic Plants; others were brought me from
the same Island by

Mr. Sam. Kirkshaw Merchant. Corallina Opuntiodes, and the Corallina major, called also Bandstrings
from the Fashion; both from

Jamaica. The Arbuscula Coralloides of

Clusius from the Coasts of

Norway. Don.

Jab. Cay M D. Several Sorts
of the Coralline Shrubs, incrustated Plants, from the

English Shore:

But the most curious of them is that Corallina alba, discovered by the
ingenious

Mrs. Ward of

Gisburgh in

Yorkeshire. Others Submarine
Plants of different Colours and Substance, growing upon Stones.

Warted Sea-wrack, with greater and lesser Bags, or Vesicular Knobs.
...

A pounced Plant, two Inches broad and half a Foot
long, part folded up; it grows upon a Rock, or rather is fast-
ned to it, for they receive no Nourishment from the Rock, but the
Sea Water, and such Nutritive Bodies as it is impregnated with.

A great Sea Fan above a Yard high, and in some Parts two Foot
and half broad, of a very fine Texture. Other lesser Fans as well as
the more open, as of the closer Net-work;

one without the Crust;
to some of these are fixed the Nests of a certain Insect, as small as a
Bean or Pea.

One with stronger Purple Stems, they grow at the Bot-
tom of the Sea in all the hot

West-Indies (f)(f)

Dr. Sloane's Nat. Hist. of

Jamaica, p. 56., and are used to fan the
richer Sort, when they eat, and to keep away Gnats and Muscato's.

Some of the supposed Wheat that came down in a hasty Shower near

Leedes 29 May 1681. and of that rained 26 July 1702, different from
the former, and both from real Wheat, being Seeds of Ivy-berries
(h)(h) Phil. Trans. N° 186., or other Plants hoarded up by the Birds. Several Spikes, or Heads of Mayz or

Indian Wheat, most are about a
Span long, and consist of 8 Rows, in each of which are usually above
30 Grains (i)(i) Id. N° 142. by Governour

Winthorp. : But here is one that hath 47 in a Row yet remaining, 448
but by the Sockets it appears to have had above 50. In the Northern
Parts they have a peculiar Kind called Mohauks Corn that is less.

Here
is one that I take to be of this Sort, which, tho' at its full Growth is
but half the Bigness of the former, yet hath it twelve Rows, and in
each of them 32 Grains.

The most usual Colours of Mayz are white
or yellow; but there are also of Red, Blue, Olive, Greenish, Black,
Speckled and Striped; most of which Colours I have in one single Ear,
they are therefore only Varieties, not distinct Sorts.

Mr. Will. Tolson
gave me one that he raised at

Leedes, of Seed that he brought from
those Parts of the World: In this the Beard is visible, which is not
in those that are full grown. It is said to grow six or eight Foot in
Height,

but my Friend brought me one from

Pensylvania that is 12

Orkney Isles (p)(p) Phil. Trans. N° 222..

As also
is the Phaseolus

Brasilianus, call'd in

Jamaica the Horse Eye Bean, from
the black Ledge that almost surrounds it; it is better than an Inch
Diameter, and of a dark Colour: They are sometimes tip'd with
Silver, and worn for Buttons (q)(q)

Madagascar and

China, where they use them as Weights (r)(r)

Dr. Grew's Mus. Reg. Soc. p. 233. It is Dr.

Sloane's 12th, and the preceding his 10th.. Some
of them are said to be black all over, which may account for some
of that Colour and Size, sent me under the Name of

Indian Shott.

One of a much larger Kind, that is half Scarlet, and half Black; it
weighs 14 of the said small

Guiney Peas. Those that are called the

lour with a Swelling over every Pea, which seem to be small, of
the Bigness of our Vetches. This is the 18th of

Dr. Sloane.

the Phaseolus erectus minor, not so big as the least Field Pea, white with
a black Eye.

Arachidna Indiæ utriusq;

tetraphylla, Earth-nuts or Pin-
dalls; they are brought from

Guinea to feed the Negroes with in their
Voyage from thence to

Jamaica.

Ananas, a Leaf of the Pine-Apple-Tree of Dampier, the Fruit is used
by Way of Desert.

Alcea maxima fructu pentagono, a Pod of the long
Okra, of a Piramidal Form, but slender.

Alcea maxima fructu decagono;
this Okra is of the same Form, but considerably thicker, being near
half a Foot round; it contains many small Seeds, in ten long Cells.
Both these Sorts were given me by

Mr. Sam. Kirkshaw, and are ex-
cellently figured in

Dr. Sloan's Nat. Hist. Tab. 133.

Cucurbita Sphærica, a large round Gourd, two Feet in Circumference,
dark coloured. Some Gourds are so big, that cut in two they serve
for Paniers (s)(s) Nat. Hist.

smaller of a darker Colour.

The inner Rind of a larger Gourd;
these are often used as Vessels for Gumms, rather than Earth or
Wood (t)(t) Mus. Reg. Soc. p. 230.. The Seeds of Gourds, flat and oval, black, red and white;

one Part.

An Oval Coco-Nut-shell, five Inches long, cut for a Cup.

An
Orbicular Shell, cut for the like Purpose, near four Inches Diameter.
The Coco is one of the most useful Trees in the World, out of whose
Husk all Manner of Ropes and Cables are made; of the Shells, Ladles,
Wine Bottles, &c. The inmost Cover is eaten as a very pleasant Meat,
its Liquor drunk as a clear, sweet, and cool Drink; from hence also
they obtain their pleasant Sura; this standing an Hour in the Sun
becomes good Vinegar: Of it also they make their Brandy (after it is
distill'd) which is the first Running, and their Wine which is the se-
cond: From hence also they have a Sort of brown Sugar called Jagra,
from the Kernel when fresh they press a Milk, used with all their
Rice-Meats; of the dried Kernel they make Oil both to east and to
burn: Of the Leaves of the Trees are made Sails for Ships, Covers
of Houses and Tents, and Summer Hats. Of the Wood they make
Ships without Nails, sewing the several Parts together with the Cords
made of the Husks of the Net (b)(b) (a) Grew's Mus. Reg. Soc. p. 199.. The Kernels of the Coco-nut, of which Chocolate is made, small at

Cotton with the Seeds; this is not so white as the other, (nor are the
Seeds black) but rather of the Colour of raw Silk, and hath a Gloss
like it; it is extream soft and fine. Of this, it is supposed, the

But to return to the

West-Indies,

Chr. Gale Esq; sent me from

The Fruit of the
Palm-Tree yielding Wine and Oil. Three Plates of a Palmeto-Leaf, a Foot long and 1 ¼ Inch broad;
these by a Hole punched at each End, seem to have been filed with
others to compose a Book: The

these to write upon; by Impression with a Stile, here is one three
Quarters of a Yard long that is so writ upon.

The great Mammee
Fruit, it is six Inches round, flat on one Side; and convex on the
other, very rugged; whereas the Mammea Sapota is smooth and po-
lished.

The Fruit of the Myrobolamus.

The Stone of the yellow Plumb

in my Compass, I shall endeavour to reduce these to his Method, on-
ly he beginning with Chrystals and Diamonds, I shall premise the Mar-
garitæ Cumbrenses. Some of these Pearls have as good a Water as the
Oriental: Here are also three different Colours of those called the
Sand-Pearls, which are as useful in Physick as the finest, though not
so valuable for the Beauty. A double or Twin-Pearl of the finer Wa-
ter; a Dozen of which were sent me by my

M D. Of the Nautelites, by the Ancients called Cornua Ammonis (for its
resemblance of the curled Horns of the Ram, worshipped by the
Name of

Jupiter Ammon in the Deserts of

Africa:) Here are various
Sorts, of different Colours, Figures and Sizes, from less than half an
Inch to half a Foot in Diameter; but all so curled up that the Tail
of the Snake is in the Center of the Stone. The small Sort, whose
Parts are protuberant and swelling to a Round; of these are both
the Ash-coloured, and the brown (from my

Lord Bp of

Carl.) the Striæ
of each Colour are single near the Center, but presently divide into
two Lines, but terminate in a single Lineation. Of the same Form
are a greater Sort that are six Inches in Circumference, and very fair.
These of the Ash-coloured Stone, appear in Places to be adorned with
a shining brazen Armature, as is more evident by an Arch, or Part
of another of the same Kind.

A Segment of a large one with
single Striæ of an Iron-stone; it is 4 ½ Inches round.

One that is
more thinly striated, but the Lineations are larger and more promi-
nent, like N° 10 in

Dr. Plot's 5 Tab. Nat. Hist.

Oxon. On the other
Side is no Figure, being of

Dr. Lister's 9th Sort (g)(g) De Lapid. turbin. p. 212, ex altera tantum
parte ad umbilicum cavus.

Of those that are depressed; here is one of
five Wreaths, three Inches broad;

and another near half a Yard in
Circumference, which was the largest I could conveniently bring
from

Whitby; both these which are an Ash or blewish Stone are of
the Cornua Ammonis pertusa, being perforated at the Center; they have
also a Crest or sharp Ridge, like the Spina Dorsalis; on each Side of
which is a Furrow or Channel.

A Fragment of a small one with as
many Wreaths.

The Segment of a larger, being half a Foot round;
my kind Benefactor,

Dr. Woodward, received it from

Whitton Com.

Linc. as he did three Samples of the lesser Sort from

Lansdown, near

Bath.

Lord Bishop of

Carlisle sent me, amongst others, the smallest
I have seen, being but a Quarter of an Inch broad, yet fairly striated.

A larger with six Wreaths.

Mr. Sutherland of

Edinburgh sent me a
small compress'd one, found about ten Miles from the City.

But
here is another Species, considerably different from all the former,
the middle Part being sunk in, or depress'd to a great Depth; the
outmost Wreath is above two Inches broad, the Center on each
Side is dip'd in, an Inch deep; it is near eight Inches in Circumfe-
458 ferencerence.

A small one of the same Sort, but one Inch broad, and of
a shining Colour.

Here are also the Matrix or Beds they are lodged
in, somewhat globular, and without any Impression on the convex
Part, but finely striated within, after the Form of the Stone it self.

The most remarkable of which was given me by

Dr. Sawry of

Yorke,

Whitby; it is a Congeries of them in an oval
Brass Lump (as commonly called) a Quarter of a Yard round, contain-
ing the gilded impressions of seven of them. Fossile Shells and Stones of the Turbinated Kind.

they are for the most Part of the common Ruble Stone, but one
(given me by

Dr. Plot) of a black Flint; all of them have five dou-
ble Rows of Points that center at the Modiolus.

Length of the Stone, and the Ridges purled with small Knots set in
the Quincunx Order; they mostly consist of a bright shining Sub-
stance, not unlike the Selenites.

Dr. Plot takes them for the Lapides
Judaici (d)(d) Idem, p. 125.. By the Kindness of my

Lord Bishop of

Carlisle, and

Dr. Woodward, I am furnished with Variety, as to Colour, white and
dark; as to Form, round and compress'd; and as to Size, from near
two Inches, to little more than half an Inch in Length; and from
two Inches round to less than ½ Inch. Some have a Kind of Pedicle,
or Knob at one End;

others not only want that, but are quite dive-
sted of their Parts, having a smooth Superficies.

The Aculei, or small
Radiolus, from the Chalk-Pits of

Kent,

Essex and

Surry;

the larger
from

Oxfordshire,

but the thickest of all were sent me by

R. Gale Esq;
and seem to be the largest Cucumerinus of

Lhwyd. The Right Reverend Prelate before mentioned, hath obliged me
with almost all the Varieties of the Entrochi, that are described by

Dr. Lister and

Mr. Beaumont in the Phil. Trans. N° 100 and 150, from
the Trochitæ, or single Joints, to the Number of 38 or 40, in an En-
trochus of near 2 ½ Inches in Length; and as to Thickness from little
more than a Pin, to near three Inches. As to the Form, here are per-
fectly round, exactly Oval, and the Compress'd of different Degrees.
Some more gently, others so crush'd (even to the 16th Part of
an Inch) that the Cracks are visible. The Joints or Vertebræ of some
are strangely dislocated, and in Part slip'd off, as it were, yet adhe-
ring to the other Part. Some of the Joints are thick; others so ex-
treamly thin, that they are scarce the 24th Part of an Inch,

for I have
one of ¾ of an Inch in Length that hath 19. Some again are but
seemingly joynted, others, and those the greatest Part are really so,
and the Sutures indented. Some even of the longer Stones are with-
out Notches; others thick set with such Marks, whence the Branches
of these Rock Plants have issued; but of these out-Branches there
seldom remain above two or three Joints. Besides, those that are
exactly Cylindrical (equally thick at both Ends), here are some of
the Branches tapering at the smaller End. Upon the Surface of many
are drawn very fine and small Rays from a Point in the Center to
the Circumference. The Pith in the middle of some of them is
round, of others, oval; and of the Form of a Cinque-foil in the
midst of the Rays in others, and some have six Inlets.

To those which
are Concave, a protuberant Point in the Center of others doth cor-
462 respond. In some the Pith is quite gone; these being put upon
Strings are called

St. Cuthbert's Beads in the

Holy Island, whence

Dr. Cay
procured me some:

He afterwards sent me one, the Medulla whereof
is the Pyrites. Some are almost smooth, others have a raised Edge in
the Middle of the Joints; others have a sharp Ridge betwixt two
smooth round Joints, and so alternately; and some (though rare to
be met with) have a Circle of Knots, or small Protuberances in the
midst of each Joint:

Here is also a red Entrochus with a white Pith,
growing upon a Rock of a reddish Colour.

The Volvola is fitly joined to the Entrochus, being not only Cylin-
drical, but in other Respects like them, save without Rays or Joints.
Of these here are not only those of equal Thickness quite through,
but that taper at both Ends,

Lh. doliata seu cadiscum referens elegantior,
N° 1163. and his Volvola utricolata. The whiteness of these reminds
me of what I had omitted, the various Colours of the Entrochi, which
are white, brown, red, and ash-coloured, both light and deep. Here
are another Sort of Stones that I take to be a Species of the Volvola,
but are not only of a different Colour, viz. blewish or ash coloured,
but are surrounded with a Coat or Crust that is frequently found in
Part pil'd or broken off.

Here are the Cylindrical

and the Tapering;

the smaller Sort,

and one from

Holy Isle above two Inches round. Of the Asteriæ, or Star-stones. HEREHere are most of those observed by the learned and accurate

Dr. Lister, in this his Native Country, together with others
from

Westmoreland,

Glocester, (Lassington-stones), and

Northamptonshires.

Mr. Moreton's third Sort called Peter-stones. Here are of the Litorales,
as well as Arvenses,

but the most of them from the Foot of the

York-
shire Woulds.

The largest of them is scarce an Inch and half long,
wherein are 17 Joints; but here are others with so very thin Joints
that there are 16 of them in ¾ of an Inch. Some are very small,
yet of five Rays, others an Inch and half in Circumference. The
single Joints have sometimes the fairest Figures of the Stars, consist-
ing of five Angles; the middle of each of which is a little hollowed,
and the Edges more prominent and thick furrowed, by which the se-
veral Joints are knit together, the Ridges and Furrows being alternate-
ly let into one another; in the Center of the five Angles is a Hol-
low or Point. Of these, piled one upon another, are made pentagonous
cylindrical Columns.

Dr. Plot says, to the Number of 15, in which
Number yet he wants 7, that is, he found none of 5 Joints, nor of
7, 9, 11, 12, 13 or 14 (e)(e)

Plot's

Oxon, p. 86.. But I have a distinct Column of every
Number, from the single Joint to 18; and in them most of the
Sorts so accurately described by

Dr. Lister (f)(f) Phil. Trans. N° 112., except with the Wires
adhering; but here are of the Wires, though broken off, both in single
Joints, and longer Pieces, which are very small, slender, and of a
round Figure, being set together not by indented Suture, but per har-
moniam (g)(g) Idem, p. 277., like the Antennæ of Lobsters. Others smooth from the
Shore of

Hull. Most, if not all of these Columns, are visibly bent
and inclining. The Angles of some of them are more obtuse, of
others more acute, and consequently deeper chanell'd, than where the
Angles are blunt and round.

Here is also a third Sort that is very 463 rare, which have five flat Sides without any Indentings in the Form
of a Star. Some of both Sorts have a small Pin-hole in the middle
of each Joint, betwixt Angle and Angle. Others the more rarely
have a Knot, or Joint of Wires remaining at some of the Holes.
Some again have each other Joint more protuberant, or standing fur-
ther out than the intermediate ones. The Asteriæ are of different Co-
lours acording to the Matter they are found lodged in, as white,
brown, blewish and ash-coloured.

A ferruginous Body that seems to
be

Lh's. Siphunculus cylindracius ferruginosus, N° 1212, from

Welsale in

Staffordshire.

A much less from the Shore of

Hull. Ichthyodontes Cuspidati, or Glossopetræ of different Sizes, from a Quar-
ter of an Inch, to an Inch and half, both of the smooth and serrated,
and of several Colours, viz. white, yellow, sad Colour, blewish and
black, the larger Sort filled with rough Stone of their different Co-
lours, though the Teeth themselves be smooth, bright, and shining.

One of that Sort called Ornithoglossum, from its Likeness to the Mag-
pies Tongue,

Lh. 1266. All from my

Lord Bishop of

Carlisle. The
Plectronites, so called from its resemblance to a Cock-spur adhering to
Chalk; see the Figure Phil. Trans. N° 200. Fig. 13. sent me by

Roger
Gale Esq;. As also Glossopetræ from the

Isle of Malta, where they are
called Serpents-Tongues, though they are in Reality Sharks-Teeth. Ano-
ther sort of Fossil Teeth are the Scutellati or Grinders, commonly cal-
led Bufonitæ; of these here are all the three Sorts, from the said
Benefactors, viz. Orbiculati, Umbonati, and Scaphoides; some of the
two former Sorts are filled with Stone,

but the Name of the last shews
it to be hollow; and in Figure somewhat resembling a little Boat
of that, with one End narrower than another: See Fig. 12. in the
said Trans. These Bufonitæ are of various Colours, a brighter and
deeper brown, blewish and dark black, all bright and shining;

one
hath an Areola upon the Convex Side, surrounded with Rays.

Ano-
ther sort from

Malta, called the Vipers Eye; the Gift of

Seignior Alt-
chribell; the black Speck in the middle, which is very protuberant, is
surrounded with a Circle of pale Yellow, and that with another of
blewish White; the rest of the Stone is black; these are frequently
set in Rings.

The same

Italian Gent. gave me another Stone, which
he brought from the

Red Sea, and is said to be a Fish's Eye; it is a
Kind of Pisolythus, the Humours of the Eye, with the Tunica Uvea,
and the Iris, are not ill-represented (h)(h)

Grew's Mus. Reg. p 258..

Hither also may be referred
the Oculi Cancrorum, a crustaceous Stone, said to be taken out of Crab's
Eyes; of these I have both the blewish and white, of a less and lar-
ger Sort, better than 1 ½ Inch round, which

Mrs. Sus. Maddox brought
me from

Prussia.

Mr. Lhywd next to the Bufonitæ placeth the Siliquastrum Phaseolatum, so
called because it resembles the Pod of a Bean or Pulse; the Surface
is black and shining, the lower Side, where it should join the other
Valve is a white Stone; it is the first Fig. in Phil. Trans. N° 200.

His second is a broader Species, which he Names Siliquastrum lupinatum
the inner Part of this is a reddish Stone. Some here are different
only in Colour, brown or black, others in Form, being more Gibbose.
Here are also the smallest Sort: Most of them sent me by my grand
Benefactor, my

Lord Bishop of

Carlisle. To these Siliquastra, or ra-
ther (to use the local Word) single Swads, being but one Valve, may
fitly be added the entire Beans;

one of these (Don.

Jab. Cay M. D.) 464 both in Form and Colour resembles the great Garden Red Bean;

the
other is lesser, and dark coloured, but both of them; as many of
the finer Pebles, are a sort of Touchstone.

A third represents a com-
press'd Bean, and is of a bright brown Colour.

The said ingenious

Physician sent along with it, the Triorchis, or Stone resembling Three
Nuts.

To which may be added another in the Form of a Nutmeg,
and which is most curious, one from the

East-Indies that doth so na-
turally represent Half a Nutmeg, as well on the Inside, as without,
that many Persons will not be persuaded by their Eyes, that it is o-
therwise, till their Taste convince them of their Infidelity. Don. D.

These
are both hollow like a Mold, but here is one that is very rare, being
protuberant, and having the very Bones themselves, eleven on either
Side.

The Spina dorsalis very curious, little more than an Inch long.
I know not where else to place what relates to the Members of other
Animals, and some to the Parts of Humane Bodies.

Of which one
hath the fancied Resemblance of a (deformed) Face, with a Cavity
on each Side for the Ears; it is a blewish Stone:

Another of a
bright shining Yellow, doth better correspond with that of a Kidney;

and a third of a white Stone, with the Testicles; given me by

Dr. Plot, who calls them Orchites or Lapides Testiculares (i)(i) Nat. Hist.

Oxon. pag. 127..

In the
same Table VII. Fig. 8. he represents a Sort of Toad-stone quite
different from the Bufonites before-mentioned, being a reddish Liver-
coloured real Stone, convex above, and concave below: This here
is 2 ½ Inches round, and of the dark Red.

Another of a yellow Co-
lour from the

River Tees. The Belemnitæ are the last Classis in

Mr. Lhwyd's Lithophylacii Britan-
nici Ichnographia: Here are of different Sizes and Colours, from little
more than ½ Inch to to to 4 ½ in Length.

Dr. Plot's of that Dimension
was but 1 ¼ round, but this is 2 ½; yet but a Fragment (nor was that
of

Dr. Lister's any other) (k)(k) De Lapid. pag. 226. of the

One that in three Inches Length is not
much thicker than a Goose Quill;

and another that in less than one
Inch in Length is very near two in Circumference. The Medulla in
one of the hollowed Belemnites consists of a white Sort of Selenites or
Spar. The Generality of these Thunderbolts, as the Vulgar call them,
are of a Conical Figure, from a thick Basis tapering to a Point:

But
amongst some sent me by my

Lord Bishop of

Carlisle, there is one 465 Cylindrical, or equally thick from End to End;

and another that is
thickest in the Middle, and gradually slenderer to both Ends: The for-
mer of these hath the Rima or Chink, the whole Length, which
the second hath only at the Basis;

and another at the small Point,
but the Generality want it. As to Colour, here are the black, whi-
tish, ash-coloured, reddish, brown and Amber-coloured.

Dr. Grew, amongst the Regular Stones in the

Musæum of the

Royal
Society, reckons also the Lapis Amianthus, and the Hæmatites.

Of
the former of these, called also Asbestinus, and the Thrumstone was
made the incombustible Cloth; it consists of glossy, parallel, fine
Threads. It was anciently spun and woven into Sheets, wherein the
Bodies of the Emperors were wrapped, to keep the Ashes entire from
those of the Funeral Pile. The Art is of late revived, and a Spe-
cimen of the Cloth presented to the

Royal Society, who made the Ex-
periment; and instead of being consumed in the Fire, it came out
entire and more refined.

There is lately found of this Stone both
in

Scotland and

Wales, of which an incombustible Paper was made at

Oxford (a)(a) Phil. Trans. N° 172.. Don.

The Hæmatites or Blood-stone:

Dr. Lister affirms the

English to be as good, if not better, than that
brought from the

East-Indies. Another which seems to be the Hæma-
tites, that admits a good Polish. Of STONES Irregular.

ASAs Gems are chiefly distinguished by their Colours, and Formed or
Regular Stones by their Figures, so the Irregular by the different
Degrees of Hardness. But as some Gems were premised in the pre-
ceding Paragraph, before the Crystals and Diamonds, with which

Mr. Lhywd begins his Catalogue, so must others here before the Mar-
bles: As an Amethist more deeply tinctured than the former.

The
Sardins or Cornelian, of which more amongst the Antiquities;

as also
of the Turcois (a blew Stone) which have been engraved, and used
as

Roman Signets. The Mocho Stones, half a Dozen of different Co-
lours or Mixtures, polished and curiously marked; one with a Plant,
the rest with Variety of Colours.

The Agate (so called from the

Ri-
ver Achates in

Sicily, near which it was first found) some very light,
clear, others, variegated with waved and figured Veins of different
Colours, Yellow included in Blew, &c. To these Exoticks

Dr. Wood-
ward added two Specimens of

English Agate, viz.

from

Gravesend in

Kent, and

Belford in

Darbyshire, which looks well when polished.

To the Onyx (before-mentioned) may be added a Peble of Kin to the
Onyx; the Stone it self is semiperspicuous, round a Point in the Cen-
ter is a Circle of white, which is surrounded by another of red, and
so alternately five Rings. (b) Grew's Mus. Reg. Soc. p. 287.

Emery or Smiris is said to be the hardest of unfigured Stones, and
is therefore used for the polishing and cutting of all Gems, except
the Diamond.

But perhaps Porphyry is to be excepted, which is a
Body so exceeding hard, that the Art of working it is supposed to
be quite lost (c)(c) Phil. Trans. N° 217., by a learned Pen, which gives an Account of the
noble Porphyry Pillars, yet remaining in the Ruins of

Palmyra or Tad-
466 mor in the Desart, built by

K. Solomon, 2 Chron. 8. 4. This here is
dark coloured, adorned with white Spots, well polished.

To this fo-
reign Porphyry, I shall add one that I brought from

Mount Sorril in

Leicestershire, where is great Variety of Colours, so that the House
built of the rough Stones look very beautifully, though not a squared
one to be met with it is so hard to be wrought. It was not with-
out Difficulty that I got a Sample broken off; one Part is a pale red,
the other dark coloured, with shining Particles.

That ingenious Ar-
tist,

Mr. Place of

Yorke, got a Piece polished to grind Colours upon,
for which it exceeds Marble.

In the same Tour I observed a Sort of black Marble, the Product of
the same County; of which I saw several Gravestones at

Leicester,
and seems capable of Improvement: Of this I have a Specimen,

and
of the

Sussex Marble, which abounds with white turbinated Shells,
and is therefore called Marmor Turbinites, by

Dr. Cay who sent it me.

A large one near half a Yard long, and a Foot thick, of the
like Work, but as to the Form, tapering like the Branch of a Tree; and
seems, by a Seam, and part of a Joint remaining near the Top, to
have had an Out-branch springing from it, which would tempt one
to think that even these large rough Stones do sometimes shoot forth
like the tender Rock-Plants in

Mendip Hills, so accurately figured by

One that I brought from

Talentire in

Cumberland.

Another sent me by

Ste. Tempest of

Broughton, in

Craven Esq;.

But the
greatest Curiosity relating to this Metal was sent me from

Sweden by

Mr. William Sykes Merchant, An 1688, when (and never else, as I am
informed) several of them were found in the Copper Grove at

Fallum:
it is a most regular Octoedra, hath six angular Points, and consequent-
ly eight solid Triangles, or as many Pyramids joined in Base; the Fi-
gure of it may be seen in the Phil. Trans. N° 277. It is not unusual
for Metals, as well as their Fluores or Spars, to strike into various and
exact Mathematical Figures, wherein Nature seems to attempt what
she hath brought to Perfection in this, which is the most curious, and
in the Opinion of most competent Judges, beyond any Thing that 469hath been seen in its Kind.

My Lord Bishop of

Carlisle obliged me
with a Specimen of Lead Ore and Sulphur pick'd up at the Out-bursts
of their several Veins that have begun to shoot out in such regular
Forms.

Lead Ore from

Mendip Hills in

Somersetshire.

A rich Oar from the
Mines of

Charles Bathurst Esq; near

Richmond in

Yorkeshire.

A good
Lead Oar found in casting down a Bank near

Shipscar Bridge at

Leedes,
where never were any Mines; as neither at

Secroft, yet I have a Sam-
ple of rich Oar found there.

Oar,

Chirt and

Spar from

Oldfield; the
like from

Burnswood, both in

Derbyshire.

That Sort of Lead called
Steel-Oar from

Austin Moor in

Northumberland.

Potters-Lead Ore from

Bristol in

Gloc.

Another from

Winston in the Peak of

Derby.

Black-Lead Ore, as it is usually called, though, by the Way, our
common Lead is the true Black-Lead, and so called in Opposition to
Tin, which is the White-Lead. This is not allowed by

Dr. Plot to
have any Thing of Metal in it (g)(g) Phil. Trans. N° 240., but esteemed a Sort of Ochre. This
was brought me by

Mr. John Clark from

Crosthwait Parish near

Kes-
wick in

Cumberland, said to be the only Place where it is found in

Fuller's Worthies, pag. 195.; and it is rationally conjectured
by Expositors, that the Tin traded for in Tyre, Ezekiel 27. was export-
ed hence. A learned and pious Divine well observes, that we do not
find any where in Scripture so many Nations named together (l)(l) Mr.

Mat. Henry's Excellent and Practical Exposition of the Old Testament, Vol IV.,

tions after the Flood.

Iron Ore that I brought from

Egremont in

Cumberland, from whence
it is transmitted to

Ireland, where it is smelted.

A Piece of an Iron

in a Cube. The Pyrites from

Camel-Cross (five Miles from

Kighley Com

Ebor)
upon the highest Hill betwixt the

East and

West-Seas, as is evident
from the Springs running thence into both of them. This is called
Mundick by some, but is really Pyrites, in the Opinion of that great
Naturalist,

Dr. Lister: But these Names are frequently confounded,
as he truly observes, Qui vero Pyritæ in stanni fodinis habentur, a no-

Rev. Mr. John Dixon Vicar of
Mask, being accidentally mislaid with Canal-Coal, and Black

Irish-slate,
I knew not how to distinguish it, but by its attracting Straw or
Feathers upon rubbing it, which neither of the other could do,
whence probably it was first called Black-Amber (c)(c) Cam. Brit. N. E. p. 751, Attritus rapit hic

A delicate fine white Sand from

ANAn

Indian Bow; it is made of

Brazil Wood, full two Yards
long yet not an Inch broad, the String very strong and thick.
The Arrows above four Foot long, of fine unjointed Cane,
but not feathered:

One of them is armed with a Fish's Bone,

the other with a Piece of hard

Brazil Wood, sharp pointed and
hooked, about four Inches above the glewed Swath; tis partly Qua-
drangular, and hath on each Side four sharp Points, like Fish-Hooks.

Persian Bow; tis delicately in-laid, painted and gilt, yet the
String nothing so good as that of the

Indian Bow; it is 4 ½ Foot long,
and four Inches thick in the middle, from thence flat, 1 ½ Inch broad.
The Arrows better than two Foot long, feathered as ours; six of them
only pointed with Iron, but twelve with Hooks Pheon-like.

A Piece of

Indian Armour; this consists only of three Scales made
of thin Whale-Bone, each about three Inches long, and near 1 ½ broad,
coupled to the next by three Thongs of Leather on the inner Side,
but very well glazed with black Varnish on the outer. I lately saw
an entire Suit of this Sort of Armour in the

Tower of London. Don.
D.

Fran. Place.

A Tomahaw, or fighting Club from

North-Carolina; it is a yellowish
hard Wood, like Box, above two Foot long, tapering from a little
more than an Inch broad at the Handle, to three Inches at the other
End, where it terminates in a Knob or Ball eight Inches round: Up-
on one Side is drawn an odd Figure supposed to represent one of their
Idols whose Assistance they implore; upon the Bowing at the End is
a Lizard nine Inches long, cut out of the same Piece of Wood, arti-
ficially enough, considering its being wrought with Flints by the Native

Indians. One of the four

Indian Kings, lately at London, is drawn
with such an one in his Hand. This was brought me from

Carolina
by

Chr. Gale Esq; Attorney-General for her

Majesty.

Indian Arrow with a Flint Head, of an Orange Colour, in the
Form of those called Elves-Arrows in

Scotland. This Arrow (which is
two Foot two Inches long) is only feathered on two Sides. It was
brought from the

Indies by

Capt. John Wood, who presented the Bow
and the Rest of the Arrows to

King James II. Don.

Step. Tempest de

Broughton Arm.

Indian Shield, ten Foot and a half in Circumference, four
Inches above a Yard in Diameter; it is made of light Wood, cover-
ed first with Leather, and then fine Linen Cloth, delicately painted
with Variety of Colours and Workmanship; at the Center of the Ins-
ide is placed a strong Handle of Wood, and about six Inches from it
one more pliable of Leather; both fastened with Leathern Thongs.
This was brought from the

East-Indies by

Capt. John ap Rice, and gi-
ven me by his Brother

Mr. Tho. Garway of

Leedes. 473

A small

Indian Target; this is not two Foot in Diameter, painted
with green and yellow Branches upon a Scarlet Ground; in the Cen-
ter is a Scochean with a Sort of Harpy, or perhaps Lion passant gar-
dant Or, in a Field of Vert.

Another Shield, hath upon a black
Ground an

Indian painted and gilt, with several Quadrupedes, and
Reptils about him; this is much heavier than the rest, and hath the
Sides fastened together by Octangular Brass Studs.

But the finest
of all the

Indian Shields was sent me by

Sam. Molineux, of

Dublin,
Esq;. The Convex Side is wrought in Circular Wreaths of Crimson-
coloured Silk, embroidered with Gold and Silver; the Concave Side
is covered with Velvet: It is about two Yards and a half in Circum-
ference.

The same Benefactor obliged me also with a curious Tama-
hauke inlaid with seven Rows of white Studs perforated, that seem
to be the best Sort of Wampampeage, and Brass Annulets. It is a de-
sperate Weapon, being armed with a blewish Marble or Flint, a Foot
long, and sharp at both Ends.

Indian poisoned Dagger, the Hilt is a firm Wood like Box, very
curiously carved into an Antique Form (perhaps one of their Idols,
whose Help was invocated;) this hath the whole Body, not the
Head alone, as that in

Dr. Grew's Mus. pag. 266. the Blade is
waved, whence called by some a Flaming Sword, near 16 Inches long,
damask'd with Gold near the Hilt.

Turkish Scimiter, the Blade near two Foot long, an Inch broad
'till towards the End, where it is 1 ½; the black Hilt, adorned with
blanch'd Metal engraved, is formed into a kind of antique Head:

The
Scabbard consists of two Pieces of Wood, covered with blew Cloth,
fenced with red Leather, which on the Fore-side is cut into Branches,
and laid upon various Colours. This was presented by the

Dey of

Algiers to

Capt. Hen. Lumley, when

Admiral Russel, with the

English
Fleet, lay before that Place, and was given me by his Brother

Mr. Geo. Lumley of

Yorke.

Spanish Weapon, almost in Form of an Halbert; the Wood is
adorned with Brass Studs, the Iron (which is a little damask'd) en-
graven with the Figure of a Castle, &c. Perhaps that of

Xixona in

Valencia, where it was taken by

Capt. Butler (who gave it me) when
the

English reduced that Place to the Obedience of

King Charles III.
An. 1706.

A Copper Sword, or antique Skeine found in

Ireland; it is half a

be consumed, tis about two Inches broad in the Middle, tapers to
the End. Don. D.

hath 24 Holes drill'd through it;

the Scabbard is antique chas'd Work
of Leather. Don.

In the Sheath are Places for Knife, Bodkin, &c.

A large Sword, the Hilt, which is of Wood, with an Iron Pomel,
is above half a Yard long, and the Cross-bar above 1 ½ Foot, the
Blade is four Foot in Length, and two Inches broad; it seems to be 474used about

K. Edw. the 3d's Time. The Gift of

Leedes.

Another with the Year 1444 engraven upon it, which

Indian Arrow near two Yards long, of a fine unjointed Cane,
feathered on two Sides; it is armed with a smooth and flat Stick or
Cane, an Inch broad, and more than a Foot long, with a sharp Point;
where it is joined with the Shaft it is kept from cracking with a Swath
or Bandage fastned with fine Glew.

Another that instead of the

An Ivory Multiplication Table; tis about 2 Inches long, and 1 ½ broad,
yet can serve for any Sum, from a Farthing to Ten thousand Pounds.
It is supposed to have belonged to the Priory of

Beauchief in

Derby-

Barbadoes Rush-Basket, very prettily woven by the

A Kouser, and other

Patna-Ware, brought by

Great Mogul's Country, where it is said there is but Clay in one
Place that can be wrought so fine; it is as thin as Glass, yet will en-
dure the Fire. A

Bason and

a Platter of the same Materials, and other
drinkiug drinking Vessels of somewhat different Forms. But the Kouser is very
odd, having a Sort of Net-work fixed in the straitest Part of the
Neck, which is to prevent the flushing out of the Liquor, when the
Natives pour it, at the Arms Length, into their open Mouths with-
out touching their Lips.

Indian Wine Bottle made of a large round

Yorke; it equals the true

China-Ware.

Mr. Houghton, in the 8th Vol.
of his useful Collections, tells us, there were very good made at

Ful-
ham, but all flat, the Difficulty in making a hollow Dish was thought
insuperable, because it must be burnt to that Degree, that the Heat of
the Fire made the Sides fall:

But this ingenious Gentleman surmount-
ed the Difficulty, and hath many Years ago actually made several very
delicate Pots of

English Materials. This Specimen was his Present, to-
gether with one of the coarse Mugs and Covers, made purely to pre-
serve them from the Violence of the Fire in baking.

tants, to patronize their Drunkenness, alledge

St. Magnus their Apo-
stle used to drink in, and present it full of Liquor to their Bishop the
first Time he comes amongst them. This here was the Present of my
Cousin

Tab. 141. the Description of it, pag. 130. and the Manner of making 478 it, Pag. XVIII. of the Introduction. The Juice of it is so poisonous
that any Creature drinking of it swells and dies presently, yet Peo-
ple who feed constantly upon this Bread live long and healthfully;
it is taken as Biscuit for Ships upon long Voyages: This was given
me thirty Years ago by

Mr. Walter Brearey Merchant.

A fine Piece of
Cassada or Sciam, brought of late Years from the

Indies by

Mrs. Rach.

Of the Liquid Bitumen (before-mentioned) from

Shropshire, may
be further noted, that the Inhabitants, who in

commonly sell it at 14 d. a Pound. Besides the

A Pelican with her young Ones, cut in
Wood by

a lame

Danish Soldier; nothing worth Notice but the Wings,
which yet are done with Expedition when the Manner is observed.

The Head of a Calumet; it is the most mysterious Thing in the
World among the Savages of the

Continent of the Northern America,
being used in all their important Transactions; yet is it nothing else
but a large Tobacco-Pipe made of red, black, or white Marble. All
their Declarations of War and Conclusions of Peace are sealed, as it
were, with the Calumet; which they fill with the best Tobacco, and
present it to those with whom they treat about any great Affair, and
smoke out of the same after them, as we are told by Monsieur

Henne-
pin (p 71, 72.) who had perished but for one of them. This here
is white, and hath embossed upon it three Heads of their Kings, or
rather Deities.

Sir Walter Raleigh's Tobacco-Box, as it is called, but is rather the
Case for the Glass wherein it was preserved, which was surrounded
with small Wax Candles of various Colours. This is of gilded Lea-

and hath Cases for sixteen Pipes within it. Don.

NEPTUNENeptune upon the Hippocapmus, with a Trident in one Hand,

Horse, whose Fore-part and Legs are of a dark Colour, the hinder
Parts and Tail blewish, and scaled like a Fish: The Body of the Deity
is of a tawny Carnation, the Head is unhappily wanting, only the
Tassels of the Beard extend to the Breast. It is of Earthen Ware,
and very well performed, about ten Inches high to the Shoulders, and
the rest proportionable. Tis different from all the modern Sorts of
Earthen Ware that I have observed, which hath made the Descrip-
tion more particular, to know whether the Criticks will allow it to
be of

Roman Antiquity; in which Times we are told they had Ima-
ges of their Gods, not only of Silver, Brass and Stone, but Earthen
Ware. I should not have been so pendulous if I was certain that it
was found at

Aldburgh, (from whence

my Father had many

Roman
Curiosities transmitted by

Mr. Gilbert the Vicar) but being then very
young, I cannot be positive.

to-
gether with an Excellent Statue of our

Blessed Saviour, as bound to a
Pillar in order to be scourged, so admirably express'd, that I con-
fess, I cannot look upon it without Concern, and yet dread not the
Scandal of Superstition. These are each a Foot high. Matters relating to the

Romish Superstition.

A Surprizing Representation of the Trinity, wherein the

first Per-
son is drawn as an Old Man with a triple Crown;

the second
with the Cross, and

the third as a Dove, with Rays of Glory about
each, and these Words inscribed, "In this Picture is represented, that
of the Apostle St.

Paul, Rom. 16. v. 27. saying, To

God the only wife,
through

Jesus Christ to whom, together with the

Holy Ghost, be Ho-
nour, Glory for ever and ever Amen. In the old Edition of the Horæ
Beatis: Mariæ (a rare Book in this Musæum), the blessed Trinity is
represented by three Heads. Upon one Neck of a humane Body, pag.
xx, b. and pag. xlii, a. is that of the Assumption of the

Virgin Mary
described by

Bishop Burnet in his Excellent History of the Reformation
(Vol. II. p. 60.) as that of the Trinity, but is strictly that of the
Assumption of the

Virgin, who is represented between

the Father
(with Triple Crown, &c.) and

the Son. Of the Medals relating to
her Immaculate Conception, and to other Saints, to the Jubilees, &c.
see before. What appertains to this Place are certain Superstitious
Pictures, and pretended Relicks:

As a Picture of the

Virgin Mary sur-
rounded with a Glory, the Moon under her Feet, treading upon the
Old Dragon; over her Head the Trinity, as in the first Picture, and
below all

Marie conceived without Original Sin. Two different Accounts
of the Original of this Feast may be seen in the Legenda Aurea Sancto-
rum of

Jac. De Varagine; of which I have a rare Edition printed at

Paris, An. 1475.

The Picture of

our Lady of Loretto, and her Son,
painted and gilt upon red Silk, brought for me from

Spain, by

Mr. Chr. Wilkinson of

Armley, Chaplain in a Man of War. The Dark-
ness of her Face, (painted as a Black-moor) and Brightness of her Gar-
ments glittering with Gold are both unaccountable. The Figure of
the Sole of her Shoe, upon which is written, ┼ This is the just Mea-
489 sure of the Foot of the blessed

Virgin Mary, cut out by the Shoe
which is kept in a Monastery of Monks in

Spain. ┼

Pope John the
22d hath granted 700 Years of Indulgence to all those who will
kiss the Measure three Times a Day, saying three Ave's ┼. This
is just 7 Inches in Length, wanting a Quarter of an Inch of the

Spanish
Original, as printed by

Rivet, and set forth with Licence.

The Story of

St. Thomas Becket's Murther, who is represented as
saying Mass at the high Altar, and the

Russians breaking in upon
him; it is upon Copper, gilt and enamel'd. Don. D.

A
Bit of Marble from his Shrine at

Canterbury,

and a Fragment of paint-
ed Glass (thicker than the Marble) from the same Cathedral, sent
me by

Mrs. Sar. Speering of

London,

who also gave me a Sort of Wa-
fer, or Past, with a Crown impress'd upon it, said to be made up
with the

Virgin Mary's Milk.

An Agnus Dei of Silver, with unknown
Relicks therein; on one Side is engraved the old Character for

Jesus,
on the other, the

Holy Lamb.

Another small one of Brass, with the
embossed Heads of

St. Igna. Loyola, and

St. Franc. Xaverius. Two
Wafers for the Eucharist; one has the Figure of

our Saviour upon the
Cross, the other I H S, with a Cross above, and Nails below.

Madonna in Copper.

A small Cross of Lignum Vitæ,
brought from an Hermitage upon

Mount Serrat in

Spain, and given me
by

Dr. Pelham Johnston.

Another brought from

Jerusalem, and given
me by

Seign. Sebast. Altchribel. This is inlaid with Ivory and Mother
of Pearl, that Part within the white Lines is pretended to be the
Wood of

our Saviour's Cross.

A small one of Geat found in a Grave
at

Leedes. The Draught in Oil Colours of the noted Cross at

Don-
caster, whereupon is inscribed, ┼Cest est la Cruice Ote: d: Tilli: a ki
aime Deu en face merci. Am.

The Head of a Crosier's Staff; it is of Copper gilt and enamel'd, in
the Form of a Serpent, the Scales of a changeable Blew, very natural,
but so is not the Head, which being designed for Shew on both Sides,
has a Face and two Eyes on each Side. Don. D.

Sam. Smith.

Part of
a Priest's Habit, concealed at the Reformation in a double bottom Ark
near a Chantry in

Leedes: It has three Pictures of

St. Peter, &c. deli-
cately wrought in Silver and Silk of divers Colours; part of the said
Vestment fell into the Hands of one who burnt it merely for the
Silver's Sake, though she had too much before; but this, and a Ma-
nuscript found with it, were preserved by

my Father.

The Pix, or
huel-bozhusel-bozhuel-boxhusel-box (a little Iron Locket) from

Kirkstal Abbey for the Eucha-
rist, or haliᵹe huelhalige husel, as I apprehend from Linwood's Const. Prov. but
am since told by a Person of Honour, that it was for preserving the
Relicks, which Party having been at

Rome, with the last Ambassador
that was sent from the Crown of

England to the Pope, may well be
presumed very knowing in these Matters; however it comes under
the more general Notion of huel-fauhusel-fatu, or Vasa Sacra; (

Wheelock's
Bede, p. 98.)

As also doth the Foot of a Lamp, or leoh-æleoht-faet; it is
of Copper engraved in Branches, with this Inscription in old Letters,
(The S in

Jesus like C) Ihc. Nazarenus, rex Judeorum fili Dei Miserere mei.

The Figure of

St. Anthony in

Padua, in an Oval Copper very well per-
490 formed in Bass-Relieve, embracing and kissing

our Saviour, who in
the Form of a lovely Child, sits upon his Book; (see Patrick's Reflect.
p. 322.) Don.

Jo. Boulter Arm.

The Picture of

St. Anthony the Her-
mit, with his Bell, Book and Pig, the Prayer to him for Cure of the
Inflammation commonly called

St. Anthony's Fire, may be seen in the
Horæ beatæ Mariæ, before-mentioned, p. 84. b. This came from a Re-
ligious House in

Derbyshire, and was given me by the

Rev. Mr. Jack-
son Rector of

Addel: It is painted upon Glass, as is also the Holy
Banner, with Spes mea in Deo est;

the Crown of Thorns, and other Frag-
ments of Crucifixes, from the Windows of the Parish Church at

Leedes.
But what is most remarkable is a small Quarry from

York-Minster,
(Don.

Hen. Gyles,) wherein a Goose in a Religious Habit is carrying the
Crosier's Staff, &c. the Procession is made up of the like Fowls: This
seems to have been made in Hatred of the Monks, whom the Secular
Clergy abhorred for encroaching upon their Rights, and being now
repossessed thereof, recriminate, &c. A Set of Beads, or more strictly a Corona Virginis; it is of fine
wrought Ivory dyed a Crimson Colour. A lesser Set, of different
Number as well as Workmanship. A much finer Set upon a Crimson
Ribband near two Yards long. This was taken from the Image of
the

Virgin Mary at

Alicant, and brought thence by

Capt. Cary. Don.
D.

Fr. Middlebrook. I must confess my self at a Loss for the strict
Number of Ave's that compose the Crown of

our Lady; the first of
these hath 53 Ave's (and six Pater Nosters): That which was used
by the

Countess of Richmond (Mother to

K. Hen. 7th),

Bishop Fisher
tell us had 63, and this last hath 74. if, according to the different
Places,

Rome held then the Medium, for the Cardinal saith expresly,
that the Countess's was after the Manner of

Rome. Of the

Virgin's
having ten Prayers for one to her

Son, see a noted Vicar of

Leedes
Works †, wherein he refers to a particular Form, wherein were 150
Ave's, yet is quite out-done as to Nubmer by the

Jesus Psalter, where-
in the Word

Jesu is repeated in the 15 Petitions 450 Times: But to
give them their due, in the late Edition of

King James the IId's Time
they are reduced to 150. I have both the Editions.

The Invention and Exaltation of
the Cross, curiously represented in various Figures in Silver upon tran-
sparent Horn; upon a Cross surrounded with Cherubs is Hallelujah in
large Capitals; upon each of which are Inscriptions in lesser Let-
ters, as Crux æterna Dei, &c. Upon the Head of the Cross Benedi-
ctum Lignum.

In the Musæum Tradescant are mentioned Pieces of Stone from

Apol-
lo's Oracle,

Diana's Tomb, &c. which may keep me in Countenance
for reciting what follows. A Stone from

Jacob's Well,

Another from
the River

Euphrates.

A Bit of that called Jonah's Rock, of which

Mr. Gordon well observes (Georg. Gram. p. 269.) that, though it be
doubtful whether the ruinous old Monument, known by that Name,
was erected upon that Occasion; yet it is highly probable, that this 491 individual Part of

Scanderoon Bay, was the very Place of the Whales
Delivery, it being the nearest to

Nineveh of any in the

Levant. This
was brought from thence, and given me by

James Winter of

Berwick,
Surgeon to a Man of War for

Turkey.

Also a Bit of Stone that him-
self broke off

Lazarus's Tomb.

A small Fragment of the Pillar of Salt
that is shewed to Travellers, as that into which

Lot's Wife was con-
verted from amongst the Collections of

Mrs. Sarah Speering.

To these
may be added a Stone from

St.

Winifred's Well, with the indelible
Spots of her Blood, but should have been placed (if not mislaid) as

St. Hilda's Snakes amongst the natural Stones. Seals, Impressions, Copper-Plates, &c.

FORFor the Cornelian Signets, see the

Roman Antiquities. A very an-
cient and small Stone to be set in a Ring 1 h x, which I take to
be the old Cypher for

Jesus, the only Difficulty is in the later, which
is S or C: But when I had the Honour (in Company of the Learned

Dr. Gale) to be known to

his Excellency Baron Spanheim, then Am-
basador from the

King of Prussia to

K. William, I presently learned
that x is very often used for S, not only upon some ancient Coins,
but Marbles.

A large Copper Oval with IHS, in modern Characters,
with the Cross above and wounded Head and Nails below, the whole
surrounded with Rays of Glory. But this seems rather designed to
make Wafers for the Eucharist, or perhaps for the Impression upon
certain Books.

A Seal in a smaller Oval with the Portraiture of

St Margaret inscribed in obsolete Characters Saunca Margaretta. It was
an early Custom among the Christians to have the Names and Pictures
of their Tutelar Saints cut upon their Signets.

The Seal of the Gray-
Friars at

Bedford, tho' found at

Ardington Nunnery in

Yorkeshire: It is

The Seal of the

Prioress of Tuba, round the

Angel Gabriel, and the Salutation, ┼ Ave
Maria Gracia plena, Dominus tecm tecum.

Another with the

Virgin and

These three were sold amongst old Metal, but preserved for me by

Mr. Sam. Smith Bell-Founder at

Yorke, with two lesser of later Dates,

one hath the

The other a Talbot upon a Wreath under a Viscount's.

A small one

was brought me by

Mr. Sam. Kirkshaw Merchant.

Sam. Molineux
Arm. Amulets. Glain Neidir or Adder-Beads; here are two from

Wales,
sent me by

Mr. Lhwyd, of which see his accurate Description of that
Principality in the Britannia, pag. 683, and the Figure of them, pag.
697.

One is of blew Glass with white Snakes upon it.

The other
curiously undulated with blew, white, and red. These he takes to
have been used by the Druids themselves, and so handed down from
Parents to Children every since. It is most certain that the Ignorant
and Credulous are so fond of them, that they will not part with
them for Love or Money; and not only the Vulgar, but Persons of
good Education are fully persuaded, that the Snakes make them;
that they are Preservatives from all Dangers, and that whoever finds
one will prosper in all his Undertakings.

The said Author gives also
the Figure of one of Earth enamel'd, with blew, and furrowed on the
Out-side, of which Sort I have one that was found in the

Roman
Burying-Place at

Yorke,

and the Fragments of a smooth one that hath
been larger.

One of Jeat,

and another of Amber, that being found singly
in ancient Ruins,

and another of a Sort of Agate, or reddish Stone po-
lished, seem to have been applied to the like Uses.

Of the Jeat Rings
there is another Sort much larger, viz. two Inches, or 2 ½ Diameter,
which being too large for Rings, and too small for Armillæ or Brace-
lets, have probably been used also as Amulets.

A thin one with Not-
ches on the outer Edge, was sent me by my

Lord Bishop of

Carlisle,

and a thicker waved, was given

my Father by

Dr. Lister; and both,
if I mistake not, found with

Roman Antiquities.

A round flat Stone
perforated in the Center doth exactly fit one of these Rings; it was
found amongst the

Roman Monuments at

Adle before-mentioned, pag.
162.

A Brass Head like that found in

Denbighshire, and is engraved,
as an Amulet, Cam. Brit. Pag 697. save that this hath an Helmet.

Mr. Lhywd takes the said Adder-Bead Amulets, to be a notable di-
stinguishing Mark of the

British Nation, and the Elfes-Arrows of the

Scotch. These are of Flint in the Form of an Arrows Head, and are
sometimes set in Silver, and worn as Amulets, against being Elf shot,
Phil. Trans. N° 269. For their Opinion in this Matter is, that the
Fairys (not having much Power themselves to hurt Animal Bodies) do
sometimes carry Men into the Air and employ them in shooting Men
and Cattle. This was sent me by

Mr. Ja. Sutherland of Edinburgh.

Another I received from the

Reverend Mr. Clegg near

Buxton in

Der-
byshire, where they are frequently plowed up, and are there called 494

British Arrows.

Here is also an

Indian Arrow armed with a Flint like
these in Form, but an Orange Colour.

Mr. Lhwyd also informed me
by Letters (July 1702), that the High-landers do at this Day use also
the Echinites Galeatus, and the Pileatus, as Amulets; the former they
call the Stone of Victory, or Duel-stone, and the other they esteem as
efficacious in preventing Damage by Fire or Water; here is one of
either Sort.

And to shew how difficult it is to obliterate superstitious
Customs that have been once received in those darker Ages, here
is a Stone that, because it hath two Holes naturally formed therein,
some of the Vulgar, even in these Parts of

England, apprehend, if ti-
ed about the Neck of any bewitched Animal, will unspell the Charm.
Don.

Rev. Jo. Astley.

An ancient Statue, the Remains whereof are
now in this Musæum, was defaced by the superstitious Conceit of the
Boors, who finding it under Ground, concluded it a Token of con-
cealed Treasure; to discover which they bound Withys or Wreaths
of Straw about the poor

Roman Knight, and burnt him in Hopes of
a Discovery of the Treasure by some Magical Apparition in the Smoke,
which Notion seems a Relick of the Heathen Λιβανομαντεία, or Divinati-
on by Smoke or Incence.

There are none of the Adder-beads to be met with in

Ireland, that
Country having no Snakes; but here is an Amulet from thence every
whit as efficacious; it is near an Inch long, and of the Colour of
Amber.

To these may be added an Ancient Ring, which I suppose be-
longed to the

famous Richard Beauchamp Earl of

Warwick, having his
Device upon his Signet, viz. a Bear with a ragged Staff; for which see
his Monument in

Sir W. Dugdale's Hist. of that County: The Motto is
anang apta, an agreeable Fate or Destiny, which may perhaps relate to his
Martial Disposition and Victories in

France: It is composed of Links of
Iron or Steel very odly twisted with the Brass, on each Side of the Signet
(which is of a third Metal, viz. Copper gilded) is a glassy Ruby.
The

Samothracians, who were noted of old for these Practices had
Stars of Iron in their Rings of Gold. On one Side of the said In-
scription is the old Character for

Jesus; and on the other,

Christ, with
a Cross by each. There was a vast Variety of Rings or Amulets,
which in the dark Days of Popery were eagerly sought after by poor
deluded People, with different Saints upon them; but the Name of

Jesus was a standing Charm, not only upon them, but even amongst
the

Turks, as appears by

Dr. Smith's Letter, Registered in the Phil.
Trans. N° 155.

A Silver Talisman from the Lord

Fairfax's Curiosities,
on one Side is an unintelligible Character, upon the other in modern
Letters L H with ☿ and Ⅱ.

Another with a Globe and Cross upon
one Side, and an Anchor of Hope on the other, with crooked Lines
and Figures round; the former is engraved, this stamped as Money,
both have a Hole punched to hang about the Neck.

A third (sent
me by

Robert Plompton, of

Plompton, Esq;) hath the Area fill'd with
Planetary Characters, and this Inscription round, In Deo confido, re-
vertentur Inimici mei retrorsum: Upon the other Side are

Jupiter and

Venus embracing each other, inscribed, A pavore inimici Custodi vitam
meam oh tu Jehova, with ♃ and ♀ in Conjunction in ♓. The Effects
formerly attributed to these Figures were altogether miraculous; the
Spark, for whom this was erected, expected, by Virtue thereof, to
obtain both Honour and Beauty; that with

Mercury was for Success in
Merchandizing and Gaming. These are engraved upon Silver; those
used of old for the Preservation of Cities were Statuary Telesms made
under a certain Configuration of the Heavens, the most propitious 495 that could be for the Time and Place. The Blind and the Lame hated
by

David's Soul, 2 Sam. 5. 8. are by some Learned Interpreters taken
for these Images. And the brazen-Serpent, which

Moses (the Talisman,
as those who write in Defence of the Practice, affect to call him)
made in the Wilderness is said to be the first Occasion, not given,
but taken, of all these Telesmatical Practices, (Gregory's Notes upon
the Scripture, p. 41.)

I shall conclude this Matter with a Charm, sent
me by

Capt. Furness, who saw it taken out of the Pocket of an

Irish
Soldier, who was slain in a Skirmish, notwithstanding the Protection
he promis'd himself from this Billet of the

three Kings of

Cologn,
which is thus inscribed, Sancti tres Reges, Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar
Orate pro nobis nunc & in hora mortis nostræ. ""Ces Billets ont touch‚
"aux trois testes des Saints Rois a Colonge ils sont pour les Voyageurs
"contre les malheurs des chemins, maux de Teste mal caduque, fie-
vres, sorcellerie toute sorte de malefice & morte subite." To this Charm
may be added another Sort of a Cheat, one

Walter Freazer pretending
that his Tongue was cut off by the

Turks, had imposed upon most
Parts of

England, during his four Years Vagrancy, begging with the
Account of his miserable Case writ upon his Breast, many Justices and
Physicians had attempted the Discovery of the Imposture, but in
Vain till

Mr. John Morris of

Leedes, by his assimiliating Temper
(which he inherited from his Grand-Father Colonel

Morris, who sur-
prized

Pontfract Castle for

K. Charles I.) discovered the Cheat; and
that the said Youth had learnt beyond Sea the Trick of drawing his
Tongue so far into his Throat, that it appeared like a Stump only:
Hereupon the said

Freazer was sent first to the House of Correction,
and the begging Billet deposited here by the said

Mr. Morris, who
was also famous for Pantomimian or Antick-Dancing, which Archbi-
shop

Usher tells us was first used at

Rome, An. I P. 4579. Curiosities enamel'd, gilt; Paintings, &c.

nut his Charging-Horse, with distant Prospects of Armies, Gladia-
tors, &c. and in a Scroll, Sic radiant Fideles: Upon the other Side
is the fatal Battle at

Naseby. All three are express'd with so much Art,
that the Metal, tho' Gold, is but as Dross compared with the Work-
manship; in a Scroll is writ non nobis. The Whole comprised in an
Inch and half Diameter, yet so exquisitely performed, that the Coun-
tenances of particular Persons may be discovered. It was a Present
from the Parliament to the

General, and was purchased by

my Father
with his

noble Collection of Medals. Materiam superabat opus.

nure of the Land) near

Wakefield Bridge: Upon the Out-side is en-
graved the Picture of the

recommends to the Curious (a), to supply the Defect of Medals
wherein our Nation hath been too remiss. Of these I have a Volume
collected by the

Lord Fairfax, containing about 150 Heads chiefly of
the famous Warriors in foreign Parts that were his Contemporaries at
large. To which I have added several Volumes of my own collect-
ing here and beyond Sea, placed in the following Method: First, the
Kings and Queens of this Island, and others of the Royal Family;
then

the Nobility, according to the Reigns they flourished in, with
the Warriours and private Gentry in a Chronological Series. The
Archbishops and Bishops are introduced by the Martyrs and Confes-
sors of their venerable Order, and succeeded by other learned Dig-
nitaries, and pious Divines of both Denominations. The Judges are
attended by the Literati of the Laity in all Faculties, Physicians,
Philosophers, Historians, Poets, Painters and other Artists. Some
learned and pious Ladies are interspers'd. As to those of other Na-
tions, the Popes are preceded by their Saints. The Emperors attend-
ed by the Kings of the several Nations, as they are by their Ministers
of State and Nobility. The Cardinals and other Dignitaries of the
Roman Church, are succeeded by the Reformed Divines, &c. amount-
ing in all to 1400 or 1500, wherein are many done by the most ce-
lebrated Hands. Other Collections of Prints, Histories, Maps, &c. shall for Brevi-
ty's Sake be wholly waved, (except some Prospects betwixt

Rome and

Naples, both delineated and etched by the learned and ingenious

John
Evelyn Esq; who presented them to me with his Picture engraved by
the noted Nanteil, and are not to be met with, save in private
Hands.) But Designs drawn by the Pens of ingenious Gentlemen
ought to be particularly valued. Of these I have some Originals of the
noted Hollars; others by the late ingenious

Tho. Kirke Esq;

A Co-

Thomson a Priest, about the Year 1626. My late pious Friend

Dr. Fall, Præcentor of

Yorke, saw it there, An. 1670, and by the
Favour of

Cardinal Howard procured a Copy of it, whence I took
this. It is divided into eight Scenes: In the first, the Crosses are fal-
ling down from the Churches, and by the King is writ, A Thief; in
the 2d they are re-erected by

Queen Mary, by whose Picture is writ,

God for the Woman: In the 3d the Church is on a Flame, and by

Queen Elizabeth is writ, Persecution. By

King James in the 4th, A
Goer about, a Man killer, with Axes, &c. and some of the Romish
Clergy laid dead. The preceding four are all crowned, but that of
the 5th for

King Charles I. is at a Distance from his Head, with Ar-
mies, &c. The 6th instead of a King hath a headless Trophy, Can-
nons, Swords, &c. The 7th hath a young Prince at Rest, with his
Sword at a Distance: In the 8th are Crosses erected, the Triple-Crown,
Cardinals Caps, Crosier-Staffs, &c. the later four have no Words
annexed, nor do they now need any.

A Drawing of

St. Luke on the Reverse: He was also the first of the

English Nation
who was admitted into the

Great Duke of

Tuscany's

Academy of Ar-

Arabick gilded. Don. D.

Rob. Stephens Arm. This has a small Seal,
but note, the

Turks seal not with Wax, but Ink; the Emperor's Name
being usually written with Flourishes, and in perplexed Characters;
nor have they any Coat of Arms upon their Seals, there being no
such Thing as Gentility among them. (

Dr. Smith's Observa. of

Contan-
tinople, Phil. Trans. N° 155.) So the Manx Warrant or Token is not
to be understood of one under Hand and Seal upon Paper, but of a blew
Slate, about the Bigness of a Crown-Piece,with the Deemsters Mark
upon it, which being delivered to the Defendant, he is obliged to
appear. (Vide Cambd. Brit. N. E. p. 1066.) This hath upon one Side
T S M (Tho. Sodor & Man), and upon the other the Governor's Mark,
for the Person charged thereby, being a Soldier, was not to be forced
from his Post by any Power but the Governor's. The

Right Reverend
Bishop of

Man, from whom I received this Curiosity, writes they are
now as much in Use as ever, and the People pay a readier Obedi-
ence to them, than to an Order under Hand and Seal.

The said

Learned Prelate honoured me also with his Excellent Tract,
The Principles and Duties of Christianity, &c. which is the first that was
ever printed in the Manx Tongue; so that I have now seven Lan-
guages (not to mention Hebrew, Greek and Latin, or other learned
Tongues, or the antiquated Gothick, Runic, or Saxon) that are all at
this Day spoken, and printed within Her Majesty's Dominions, viz.
English, French, Welsh, Scotch, Irish, Manx and Indian. And as to the
Places of Impression, besides

London and the

two

Universities: Here
are of those printed at

Yorke,

Norwich,

Nottingham,

Newcastle,

Edinburgh,

Aberdeen, and

Dublin, with

Cambridge, and

Boston in

New-England.
And in the English Tongue (for it would be an endless Task to recite
those in other Languages) at

Amsterdam,

Malborow in the Land of

Hesse, where was an Edition of Genesisat the Beginning of the Refor-
mation; which is so rare that it is omitted even in

Le Long's Biblio-
theca Sacra, which yet is the most accurate of any I have seen in that
Kind, and tempts me to exhibit a Catalogue of the various Editions of
the Bible, in Whole or in Part, which are more than are commonly
met with in a private Library in these remote Parts. 501 A CATALOGUE OF THE UariousVarious Editions OF THE BIBLE IN THIS MUSÆUM.

BIBLIABiblia Sacra cum Epistola Jeronimi ad Paulinum, de omnibus di-
vine historie libris, & prefacione ejusdem

St. Hieronimi. Note,
the Books of the New Testament are placed in this Order;
The four Evangelists, Acts, the Epistle of

St. James, of Pe-
ter 2, John 3, Jude, those to the Romans, Corinth. 2, Galat. Ephes.
Phil. Colos. Laodiceans, Thess. 2, Timo. 2, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews,
the Revelations. But that noted Passage, 1 Jo. 5. tres sunt qui testimo-
nium dant in celo, pater, verbum, & spiritus, &c. stands fairly in its due
Place in the Body of the Chapter, though it be wanting in that of the
Bodleian Library, N° 2700, where the Books are thus placed. In the
Beginning are added in a later Hand, Tables to find the Epistles and
Gospels from the first Sunday in Advent, with the Canticatamin in Feriis quam
Festis & Dominicis diebus, and at the End a Table for finding Easter.

Another Latin Manuscript Bible in Folio, but more imperfect, where-
in the said Passage is only added in the Margent.

St. Jerome's Latin Bible, as commonly called, in Quarto, tho' that
which he translated out of the Originals is lost: This is only what
he had formerly corrected (Vide James's Corruption of the Scriptures,
pag. 276.) To this is added, the Interpretation of Proper Names in 502 53 Pages, and Annot. de omnibus epistolis & evangeliis omnium dierum
& Fastorum totius Anni.

The Latin Bible in Octavo, upon very fine Parchment. Don. D.

Ra.
Dixon.

Another in Twelves (minuto Charactere), but wants the Psalms, which
were frequently writ in a distinct Volume. Don.

Rev. D. Procter.

Ebor.

Psalterium antiquum (literis majusculis) Folio. The Psalms are not di-
stinguished either by Numeral Letters, or Figures, save a larger Ca-
pital (whereof some illuminated and gilt) at the Beginning of each
Psalm, but neither Rubrick, Gloss or Prayers to Saints, as in some
later.

The Gospel of

St. Mark, Folio. Expositio Bede famuli Christi super
Marcam Evangelistam. Note, That of above 70 of this venerable
Author's Works in the Bodl. Libr. there are but two of this, though
above a Dozen of his Church. Hist. To this is added, Quarundam
dictionum ethimologia Ysiodori.

Two Fragments, one of the Gospel of

St. Luke, in very large Cha-
racters, with a Commentary in a Column on each Side.

The other
on Part of the Revelations.

The Bible in Latin Verse, Quarto; before which a Preface, frequens
sodalium meorum petitio cum quibus conversando florem infancie exiguum li-
brum Geneseos stilo metrico depingerem, &c. but without Author's Name. The preceding are Manuscripts, the printed succeed.

The Latin Bible, with Lyra's Gloss, in 5 Vol. Folio. Printed at Ba-
sil, An. Dom. 1498. Prima pars Biblie cum glosa ordinaria & expositione
Lyre literali & morali, necnon additionibus ac replicis, continens Genesim,
&c. Secunda Pars super libros Josue, &c. the 3d Vol. begins with Es-
dras (the Capital Letter painted, gilt, and illuminated, as in MSS.)
the 4th with Esai. and the last is upon the New Testament: In this
Edition the Acts are placed after the Hebrews. But this last Volume
is of the Strasburg Edition, Anno 1492. exactum est Argentine insigne hoc

The Epistles 4to, in a very ancient Character, without Year, Place,

Micheas, Naum, Abacuch, Sophonias, Aggeus, Zacharias, Malachias, Ma-
chabeorum 1 & 2. The New Testament in the present Order, save
that the Acts follow the Hebrews; at the Beginning of each Book is
left a Vacancy for the Capital Letters to be illuminated with the Pen-
sil. Emendata per doctissimum in sacris literis baccalareum Petrum Angelum 503 de Monte Ulmi; ordinis minor. Seraphici Francisci, impressa veroin felici

foliorum distinctione tersissime ac verisissime rursus Parrhisiis a Philippo Pi-
gouchet impressa. The Books both of the Old and New Testament ran-
ged as in the preceding. At the End is added, impressum est inclyto Pari-
siorum gymnasio per Philippum Pigouchet in arte impressoria dissertissimum,
&c. In the Conclusion are added, Interpretationes nominum Hebraycorum.

St. Paul's Epistles, 4to. with Bruno's Exposition, Paris 1509. Bruno-
nis expositio admodum peculiaris in omnes divi Pauli epistolas, quas eo acu-
tius tempestate nostra penetravit nemo, &c. Epistola ipsius Apostoli ad Lao-
dicenses nunc primum in lucem prodit, &c. (Barth. Rembolt 1503.)

The Bible in Folio at Lions 1516. Biblia cum Concordantiis veteris &

varietatis diversorum textuum, ac etiam Canonibus antiquis quatuor evangelio-
rum novissime autem addite sunt concordantie ex viginti libris Josephi de
Antiq. & bello Judaico excerpte. It has Cuts: At the End are Verses,
Biblia sum presens, &c. nec in orbe mihi similis.

Another Edition in Folio, with Wood Cuts, but different from the
former, Lugduni 1527. Per Jac. Mareschal, (the former was per M. Jac.
Sacon) Emendata magis scaturit nunc Biblia tota. Que fuit in nullo tempore

Genesis (from 26 to 50 Chap. inclusive) 8vo. Paris 1528. cum ex-
pos. a fratre Gul. Pepin ordinis Predicatorum in conventu Ebroycensi. His
Sermons upon the Epistles and Gospels are not mentioned, because
only select Portions of Scripture, not entire Chapters.

The 21 Epistles of the N. T. 8°. Antwerp 1529. Elucidatio in omnes

The Pentateuch in English 8vo. printed at different Places as the
Times would permit; at the End of the fyrst Boke of

Moses called Gene-
sis, is added, emprinted at

Malborow in the Land of

Hesse, by me

Hans
Luft, the Yere of our Lorde MCCCCCXXX the xvii daye of January.
To this is prefixed

W.T (

Mr. Tyndall the Martyr) to the Reader, and
a Prologe sheweinge the Use of the Scripture, wherein he answers the
Popish Objection, that they wott not what moare profite is in many geftes
of the Scripture, if they be read without an allegorye, then in a tale of Roben
Hode. At the End is a Table expoundinge certaine words. Exodus is
printed in a different Character; the Person, Time and Place con-
cealed,

W.T's Prologue is premised, wherein he compared such as go
about to purchase grace with Ceremony, to soche as sucke the Ale pope to
quench thirst. There are the Figures of the Altars, Lavers, High-
Priests, &c.

W.T's Prologue is also prefix'd to the thyrde boke Leviticus,
and so to Numeri the fourthe, which is printed in the like Character
with Genesis, but no Place, Time, or Printer named; nor in Deutero-
nomye, which is in the white Letter, as are also the 2d and 3d Books,
and, I presume, were printed privately in

England. This Pentateuch
was the acceptable Present of

Mr. Richard Beard of

Shrewsbury.

The
ingenious

Mr. Wanley's Pentateuch is all in the

Roman Letter, but
Numbers. 504

The New Testament in 8vo. in two Columns, English and Latin;
in the 1 Peter 2, it is rendred to the Kynge as to chefe heade. By the
Smallness of the Latin Column it appears to be the

Paris Edition,
wherein

Bishop Bonner, then a pretended Protestant, assisted Cover-
dale.

The English Bible in 4to. but printed beyond Sea, as appears by the
Form of the Letters; every other Page is numbred in Capital Numer-
al Letters. The Psalter of David, Solomon's Ballets, and the first four
Chapters in the Lamentations are divided into small Sections, like
Verses. What is not in the Hebrew, though it be in the Septuagint, is
not made Part of the Chapter, but an Apparatus thereto; so 1 Chap.
of Proverbs begins at the 8th Verse of the present Edition.

Tyndall's or Coverdale's Bible in the greatest Volume, a large Folio,
the Time and Place of the Impression uncertain for want of the first
general Title, those before the other Parts not informing us of either.
Fear of the Inquisitors Abroad, and Popish Prelates at Home made
them frequently omit the Time and Place where they were printed.
But another Difficulty in drawing an accurate List of the Bibles at
the Beginning of the Reformation, ariseth from the Age and Defects
of the Books themselves, which too often want the first and last
Leaves, where those Notices are only to be met with. There are small
Pictures in the Historical Part of the Old Testament, but not of the
New; in the 1 Sam. 6. instead of Emerods are five golden arsses.

The Bible in Quarto for private Families; but neither the Titles to
the 2d, or 3d Part of the Old Testament, to the Hagiographia or New,
let us know where or when it was printed: It hath no Pictures, but
there are Contents prefixed to each Chapter in this and the preceding
(Folio), which were not in the former Quarto.

A Fragment of the New Testament in 4to. that seems to be very
ancient, there being no Numbers on either Sides of the Leaves. Af-
ter the Acts is a compendyous and briefe rehearsall of all the contents of the
bokes of the New Testament, in metre; it was probably one of the for-
mer Editions, of which the greatest Part of the three several Impres-
sions were burnt.

The New Testament in English, printed Anno 1536. Quarto. After
the Title prefixed to the Epistles is a large Prologue, there are small
Pictures in the Gospels, and larger of the Visions in the Revelations.
At the End are added the Pistles taken out of the Old Testament,
which are read in the Church after the Use of

Salisburye, and a Table
to find the Epistles and Gospels.

Novum Testamentum per D. Erasmum Roterodamum verissime recognitum;
at the End is added, Basiliæ apud Johan. Bebelium, additis figuris super
Apocalypsi per Hubertum Somerem. No Date, but there were eight Edi-
tions at Basil in 8vo betwixt the Years 1521 & 1541. Before the
Gospel is Elenchus Capitum.

The Newe Testamente both in Latine and Englishe, eche correspondent to
the other after the vulgare Texte, communely called

St. Jeromes. Faithfullye
translated by

Johan Hollybushe. Anno MCCCCCXXXVIII. &c. prynt-
ed in

Southwarke by

James Nicolson, set forth wyth the Kynges moost gra-
cious lycence. It is in Quarto, and was chiefly designed for the Priests,
who were enjoined to study every Day a Chapter, confering the
Latin and English together. After the Almanack for 18 Years (com-
mencing 1538) follows the Calendar; and at the End is a Table of
Epistles and Gospels for Holidays, wherein are yet retained, the 1, 2, 505 and three Mass at Christmass, four Lady-days, St. Georges, and after All-
Hallows (or All-Saints) that of All-Souls.

translated the Bible out of the Original Hebrew and Greek; the first
Edition was Anno 1528, in Quarto; this 2d is in Folio 1541, Coloniæ
ex Officina Melchioris Novesiani.

the Title.

The Byble whych is all the Holy Scripture, in whych are contayned the old
and newe Testament truelye and purely translated into Englyshe by

Tho. Matthewe
1537, and now imprinted in the yeare of our Lorde MDXLIX. (Folio
London) by

Tho. Raynalde and

Will. Hyll. Of this Edition see Fox's
Mart. 2d Vol. p. 434. And Strype's Mem. of Archbishop Cranmer, p.
82. That the Name of

Tyndall (who was burnt for reputed Heresy)
might not prejudice the Book, the Name of

Tho. Matthewe (Preben-
dary of

St. Paul's, who dedicated it to the King) was used, tho'

Tyn-
dall had translated all but the Hagiographia, which was done by

John
Rogers, the Proto-Martyr, in

Qu. Mary's Reign, who added Notes,
&c. After the Kalendar and Almanack, follow an Exhortation to
the Study of the Scriptures; the Summ and Contents of the Holy
Scripture; Description of the Kings of Juda, and what Prophets were
in each Reign; a Table of principal Matters; Names of the Books,
and Number of Chapters; a brief Chronology; Prologues to the
Pentateuch;

Jonah and

Romans, and Notes at the End of each Chap-
ter. In the Tables of Epistles and Gospels, several Popish Festivals
are crept in again, as

St. Nicholas,

St. Lawrence, the finding and Exal-
tation of the Cross.

Another Edition of the English Bible in Folio, of the very same Year
1549; but by the different Character, and that Shiboleth tank for
thank, it appears to have been printed beyond Sea, and, I presume,
at Zurick;

Mr. le Long mentioning one in Fol. Tiguri (1549 vel) 1550.
This hath distinct Titles before the 2d and 3d Parts of the Bible, the
Apocr. and N.T. with some Notes that are not in the former; for I
have not only collated, but read over entirely both the Volumes. In
the Tables of principal Matters is asserted, that the Word Masse is not
in the Bible, that forbidding Marriage is the Doctrine of Devils; in both
these Editions the Epistle to the Hebrews is placed after those of

St. Pe-
ter and

St. John, and before those of

James and

Jude. This later
hath a register of the Names of the moost famous Persons in Scripture.

The New Testament in 4to. dedicated to

K. Edw. 6. by

Jugge, prynted with the Kynge hys most gracious priviledge.

St. Hierome's
Lives of the Evangelists with their Pictures and other Cuts, Map of
the Land of Promise, Carte Cosmographie of the Peregrination of 506

St. Paul placed before the order of tymes; at the End of the 2d booke of

St. Luke called the Acts of the Apostles. This Edition is the first where-
in I have observed the Lessons (and those the 2d only) added to each
Day in the Kalendar. Don. D.

Tho. Cornforth.

The New Testament in Englishe after the Greeke Translation, annexed
with the Translation of Erasmus in Latin. Whereunto is added a Kalendar,
and an Exhortation to the readyng of the holy Scriptures made by the same

Erasmus, wyth the Epistles taken out of the olde Testament both in Latin and
Englyshe, whereunto is added a table necessary to finde the Epistles and Gospels
for every Sonday and Holyday throughout the yere, after the use of the Churche
of

England nowe. Excusum Londini in officina Thomæ Gaultier, pro I. C.
pridie Kalendas Decembris, Anno Domini M. D. L. (Octavo.) Note, that
in the annexed Tables the Saints Days are reformed, and (except

St. Mary Magdalen) reduced to the present Number and Order, and the
Epistles and Gospels strictly the same as now used; and upon Christ-
mas Day the 1st and 2d Communions are placed instead of the three Masses,
which were now rejected. By the Injunctions of this Pious Prince,
all the Clergy, under the Degree of a Batchellor in Divinity, were
to be furnished with, and diligently read in the New Testament in La-
tin and English: And even in the Articles in Convocation 1575, the
Archdeacons were to appoint every Parson, Vicar, &c. under the De-
gree of a M.A. a certain Task at his Discretion; and at the next Vi-
sitation, examin how they have profited. (MSS.

The singing Psalms with Tunes in 16°, before which is prefixed

ment translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, and conferred with the
best translations in divers Languages, with most profitable Annotations up-
on all the hard Places, and other things of great Importance. It is a thin
Quarto in a small Character, no Time or Place of Impression mention-
ed, but is that Edition which is commonly called the

Geneva Bible,
as being translated by

M. Coverdale, and other

English Exiles there, of
which see

Mr. Strype's Life of

Archbp Parker, p. 205. Certain Places
in the Pentateuch, Kings, and Ezechiel, are illustrated with Figures, and
two profitable Tables are annexed of the Interpretation of Hebrew
Names, and of the principal Matters in the Bible: Also the Order of
Times, to which the Revelations are referred, with

Fr. Junius's Anno-
tations upon that Book. The N.T. is englished by

L. Tompson. This
is the first Bible in this Collection that is divided into distinct
Verses.

The Psalms of

David in four Languages, and in four Parts, set to the
Tunes of our Church, by

Will. Slatyer 1643, in 12°. The Hebrew, Greek,
Latin and English Metres, are curiously engraved upon Copper-Plates.
This first Portion, or Nocturne, consists of 22 Psalms, but, I presume,
no more were engraved; and this is so rare, that the

Oxford Histo-

dably critical) implies he had never seen one.

John Chamberlayne Esq; F.R.S. hath advanced it to near

of, his great Knowledge in many Languages (evident in his curious
Tract of the Genius and Potestas of the English Tongue ϯ Lettre a un Gentilhomme Allemand touchant le Genie & la Force de la Langue Angloise, 4to. 1708.) rendering
him every Way qualified for it.

I shall conclude this Catalogue with two Curiosities, the Gospel of

St. Matthew, admirably well engraved in 8°. by that celebrated Artist

Mr J. Sturt of

Lond. and 'tis great Pity there was not suitable Encourage-
ment to proceed in the rest of the New Testament.

To which may be
added, The Passion of our Saviour, and a Pindarick Ode on the Suffering God
(by

Mr. Fra. Bragge) engraved by him on 52 Copper-Plates. Don pre-
dicti

Johannis Sturt. Part of the Gospel in the Malabarick Language
and Character, brought to

London, Anno 1710, and given me by

Henry
Newman Esq; Secretary of the Society for promoting Christian Know-
ledge, to which all good Men with Success answerable to so excellent
a Design. It is written, or rather impress'd with a Stile upon a single
Plate of the Palmetto-Leaf, one Inch broad, and ten in Length. The Learned

le Long, to the various Editions of the Bible, adds a
Chapter of the Concordances, but this, as to the Latin, is before-men-
tioned, as Concordantiæ, or Index Biblicus, and some of the English:
But I shall add others that I have which he wholly omits, as that
of

Robert Fitz-Henry, of which here are two Editions in 4to. 1578, and
1613, by

Chr. and

Rob. Barker, the former Printer to

Qu. Elizabeth,
the later to

K. James. He also omits the noted

Mr. John Downam's
Concordance to the last Translation, allowed by his Majesty's special Privi-
lege to be printed and bound with the Bible in all Volumes. Here are both
the Folio Edition 1639, and that in 8vo. 1663.

Lond 514 of which the later Editions are commonly called the Cambridge Con-
cordance: That of

Rob. Wickens was printed at

Oxford, 8vo. 1655.

As to the Book of Common-Prayer, here are the first Edition of

Qu.
Elizabeth, which is very rare,

and another 1580; which having col-
lated with other Editions, ancient and modern, I have noted the Al-
terations in the Margent: That of

K. James's (wherein the Thanksgi-
vings were first inserted) the Persons then prayed for, were

K. James
and

Queen Anne,

Prince Charles,

Frederick Prince Elector-Palatine, and
the

Lady Elizabeth his Wife (Mother to the

Princess Sophia.)

The

Scotch Prayer-Book in

K. Charles the 1st's Time, printed at

Edinburgh
1637, Folio After the K. and Q. follow

Prince Charles, and the rest of
the Royal Issue (Royal Progeny in the English Books.)

licarum in usum Ecclisiæ Cathedralis Christi Oxon. 12°. 1660. Oxoniæ.
This being before the Act of Uniformity took Place, the Queen Mo-
ther is not mentioned. The Thanksgiving upon 5 Nov. as well as
29 May, and the rest that are placed after the Psalms, was never, I
suppose, printed and bound up in the same Volume with the Prayer-
Book 'till the Restoration. In the Book it self, the Prayers for the
Parliament, and All Conditions of Men, and the Collect of General
Thanksgiving were added, many of the other Collects were altered, and
Lessons changed, the Epistles and Gospels were according to the New
Translation, which before were in the Old, (witness that 2d Phil. that
in the Name of

Jesus every Knee should bowe).

In the Folio Edition (of
which here is a curious one, the Present of his Grace the

Lord Arch-
bishop of Yorke) is added the Form and Manner of making, ordaining
and consecrating of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. And for the Honour
of this his Native Country, be it remembred that the Learned and
Judicious

Dr. Rob. Sanderson Bishop of

Lincoln, did either entirely
form and word many of the new Collections and Additional Offices,
or at least did more therein than any single Man of the Convocation,
by whom he was also desir'd to draw up the Preface. See his Life by

Iz. Walton, and as to the true Place of his Nativity, pag. 78. of this
Book.

To these English may be added a French Version of the Common-
Prayers. La Liturgie Angloise, &c. 4to. à Londres par Jehan Bill-- 1616.

And a Spanish one in 4to. Liturga Inglesa, &c. Augustæ Trinobantum
(London) CIƆ. IƆI. IXIIV. This being after

Queen Anne's Death,
there is only mention (after Jacobo nuestro Rey) of Principe Carlos, Fe-
derico el Principe Elector Palatin, y la Princesa Ysabel su muger, (for Eliza-
beth sa femme in the former.) But there is a gross Mistake of the Press
in Los Maytines, the 2d Petition of the Lord's Prayer [venga tu Reyno]
being left out by an intollerable Neglect of the Supervisor. 515 A CATALOGUE OF THE MANUSCRIPTS IN THIS MUSÆUM. This is the more necessary to be added, because it is con-
siderably increased, since the former Catalogue was print-

ctions. But Books published in the Infancy of the Art of Printing,
being frequently inserted in Catalogues of this Nature, as particular-
ly appears by that choice one of the

Lord Bishop of

Ely's (in Cat. li-
brorum Manuscriptorum Angliæ, Tom. II. p. 379. &c.) in his Lordship's
inestimable Library, which I have often beheld with Admiration, I

a Fragment of the Liber de consolatione Theologie per fratrem Johannem
de Tambaco, An. Dni. M. CCC. L XVI. as either the Time when the
Author wrote it, or a Mistake in the Press, none pretending to shew
any printed Book of that Antiquity. And Guido de Monte Rocherii,
mentioned N° 102, amongst the Manuscripts, though every first and
last Leaf in a Quaternio, being Parchment, is no conclusive Argument
to prove it so; the Printers as well as Writers of Books sometimes
intermixing Parchment with the Paper for Strength's sake; and

I have
a Mass-Book printed after the same Manner, so late as the Year 1516. Ancient Printed Books.

Hæc fuit candida illius ætatis fides, & simplicitas, quæ pauculis lineis omnia

ed, faith

Sir E. Coke, but they were commonly added in the Reigns
of

K. Edw. 2. and

E. 3. and ever since (Inst. I. p. 6.) But in this
Collection are several in the Reign of

K. Edw. I. and some in

Henry the
3d's, particularly one relating to

Kirkstal-Abbey, An. 1239. In all 555 these the Names of the Witnesses are entred in the Continent of the
Deed, after the Words Hiis Testibus, writ with the same Hand that
the Deed is:

Of which here are several Instances in every Reign (ex-
cept R. 3.) from

Edw. I. to

Hen. 8. inclusive. When a Deed requi-
red a Counter-part, it was engross'd twice in one Parchment, with a
Space between, wherein the Word Chirograph, or part of the Alphabet,
was writ in Capital Letters, and then either indented or cut directly
through the midst of the Letters: Here are Instances of both. In
some the Terms Forinseco servitio & fossato, (of which see

Dr. Kennet's
instructive Glossary) are expresly mentioned: Also the Word Gersu-
ma, Earnest of a Bargain yet called in those Northern Parts

Arls,
from the

Saxon Aꞃ æs, Brass or Copper, given in Hand to confirm the
Contract.

To these more ancient Instruments may be added the more modern
(though now also antiquated.) Attachments under the King's Signet

To the

Roman Monuments before-mentioned (p. 159, &c.) may be
added, another Sepulchral Monument, since procured from the
same Place, whereupon are three Demy-Statues in Bass-Ralieve, but
the Inscription not legible, and Part broken off; it is now about a
Foot and half Square.

Also a Commemorative Monument framed
Altar-wise, only six Inches in Breadth, and 18 in Height: Upon the
Top are three Rolls, but no Discus, else it had passed for an Altariolum;
for

I never saw any other Sort of

Roman Monument so small, till I
had the Favour to see

Mr. Kemp's noble Collections at

London, wherein
are some of this Size. The Altars indeed were sometimes of a very low
Stature, little bigger than Salt-cellars; and sometimes even by noted
Antiquaries, mistaken for them; but these have always a Hollow (for
Incense) upon the Top, which helped forward their wrong Conjecture
at their Primitive Use. Which Aræ are therefore justly distinguished
from Altaria. Aræ dictæ ab ariditate, quia in iis adoletur ignis: Altaria
ab alendo, quia igni adduntur alimenta.

At the same Place was also found
a

Roman Altar, here deposited, the Discus or Hearth is very large for
the Size of it, which is but 14 Inches high, and of Breadth propor-
tionable, but the Inscription is obliterated. As to the Name of that

Roman-Station upon the Moor near

Adel-
Mill, I am now enclined to think it was

Burgo-dunum, because that
having lately by the Favour of my honoured Friend

Peter le Neve Esq;
Norroy, had the Perusal of that famous Record, Domesday-Book, in
her Majesty's Court of Exchequer at

Westminster, I find near

Adele, be-
twixt

Cucheric and

Echope, a Place called

Burghedunum. Of the

Roman
Burgi, both

Camden,

Burton, &c. make frequent mention, and the Si-
tuation of the Place upon a Hill, sufficiently accounts for the Termi-
556 nation; some scattering Houses at a distance do still retain the Name
of Burden-head.

Here is also a

Roman Altar, found at or near

Pierse-Bridge, whence

my Father procured it; tis mentioned as his by our common Friend
Dr.

Lister (Phil. Col. N°4.) and the Figure of it already twice en-
graved, viz. in the new Editions of

Camden's Britannia (p. 782.) and

Antoninus's Itinerary (pag. 50.) it is but 11 Inches in Height, and eight
in Breadth. The distinct mention of CONDATI or CONDATE
(for by the Distance from the Side there seem to have been liniolæ an-
nexed to I) would almost tempt one to believe, thar Consley in that
Neighbourhood was the ancient

Condate, which

Camden placeth in

Che-
shire, but that the learned

Mr. Gale's Reasons add Strength to the former
Conjecture. It will not however be denied, but that Consley as well as

Congleton was in all Probability then called

Condate; and I am the more
confirmed in my Opinion (p. 161.) that the

Romans had several Cities
of the same Name, because my said honoured Friend

Roger Gale Esq;
informs me that the

Ravennate Geographer hath no less than five
Alauna's. The last Line, as I take it, is to be read ex jussu solvit libente
animo.

The Image of

Jupiter Ammon very well performed in solid Brass;
it is little more than four Inches long, whereas that found in the Ruins
of the

Picts Wall, and lately in the

Lord Lonsdale's Possession was
rather more than six.

Jo. Boulter Arm.

Of the same Size is the Head of

Julius Cæsar delicately emboss'd in
Wax upon Copper: This was amongst the

Lord Fairfax's Curiosities,
and had been the

Reverend Mr. Stonehouse's, who placed it in the
Front of his Medals, with this Inscription,

Julius Cæsaris ectypum in
cerâ, ex antiquâ Carneolâ. Four Cornelian Signets, one hath the Head of

Augustus with a ra-
diated Crown. Another hath Dea

Fortuna, with a Rudder of a Ship,
to denote Government, in her Right Hand, and a Cornucopiæ in her
Left to signify Plenty. The third is a large one, and hath a winged

Victory, with a Palm, with the like Gubernaculum, and Abundantiæ-cor-
nu. The fourth seems to be an Emperor or General in a Martial Ha-
bit, with the Paludamentum, &c.

Whether all the four came to

my Father from

Aldbrough, I am not
certain; but the three next, viz.

an Onix

and two Cornelians were
found at

Baie near

Rome, and were brought thence and presented to
me by

Richard Ellis, of

Nocton, Esq; the first hath a Pomgranate;
the second Piety with an Altar, and the third a Horse, as upon the
double Denarius, N° 8, p. 281. This antique Signet is different from 557 all I have seen being engraven upon the Convex Side of the Stone.

Here are also a very small Onyx

and Cornelian but 1/8 of an Inch
broad, whereupon are Mullets of six Points.

Certain Molds for counterfeiting the

Roman Monies (that wretched
Art it seems being in Vogue 1500 Years ago) found by the Labourers
in delving at

Thorp upon the Hill, near

Lingwel-yate 1697. They are
curious Impressions of their Coins upon very fine Clay, each hath a
Rim half the Thickness of a Denarius on either Side the Piece with
the Impression; and a Notch upon one Edge, which being joined
with the like Nick on the next, makes a round Orifice to receive the
Metal; each of these hath generally two Heads, or as many Reverses;
so that placing one for Example, with

Alex. Severus's Head on one
Side, and his Mother

Julia Mammea's on the other, betwixt two Pieces,
with Reverses, it compleats both; so that one with Heads, and ano-
ther with Reverses, are placed alternatim for a considerable Length,
and then all pasted over with an outer Coat of Clay, and a little
Ledge on either Side the Orifice to convey the Metal into the long
Row of Holes; as appears by some thus placed that were presented
to his Grace my late

Lord Archbishop of

Yorke: His Grace shewed
me also a small Vessel of the same Materials, about the Bigness of the
smallest sort of Crucibles for melting the Metal. All the legible In-
scriptions I have met with are of Emperors about the same Age, when
indeed the

Roman Monies were notoriously adulterated, as is obser-
vable in any Collection of their Coins. Those that the

Reverend
Mr. Clarke, and

Will. Ingram, of

Thorp, Esq; procured for me, are in-
scribed, IVLIA. AVGVSTA, with her Head on one Side, and Se-
verus's on the other, inscribed - - - - - PERT. AVG. IMP.VIII.

A-
nother hath IMP. IIII.

A Piece with Reverses, hath CO S. I. P. P.
with Victoria alata; and on the opposite Side, PM. TR. P. XXIII.
COS. III. P P. with the Figure of one of the strange Beasts exhibited
in the Publick Shews.

One with

Sev. Alexander's Head hath C. M.
AVR. SEV. ALEXAND. AVG. Rev. PVDICTIA.

The like

One with HILARITAS. on one Side, and AN-
NONA. AVG. on the other.

Another hath a Victory on the Rev.
of one of the Antonine's.

Another TR. P. III. COS. III. and tranq
VLITAS. a broken one hath only COS. II. PP.

Another PM.
TR. P. II. COS. Some of these are of a blew, others a while Clay,
and all very dexterously performed, but whereas in the Phil. Trans.
N° 234, it is questioned whether this Age could produce a genuine
Diadumenianus, I must retract that Passage, for since that was printed
the truly

Noble Earl of

Pembroke, shewed me one in his inestimable
Musæum; and, if my Memory fail not, I saw another in that of the
ingenious

Sir Andrew Fountaine.

A Fibula Vestiaria found in digging Clay at the Brick-kilns without

Boutham-bar at

Yorke, which was the Place of

Roman Sepulture, as is
evident from the great Number of Urns with Humane Bones and
Ashes found there yearly; and the very Name which imports Burn-
ing in the

British Tongue.

Another Fibula

Romana, given me by

Mr. S. Smith of

Yorke, the noted Bell-Founder, that hath the Acus entire.

In the Phil. Trans. N° 176, is the Figure of a Fibula, amongst other

Roman Antiquities;

and two of another in

Camden's Britannia N. E.
pag. 697. These all agree in the Materials which is Brass, but differ
a little in the Form, particularly the Ring in this is not moveable,
nor indeed needs to be so, for the Use

Mr. Lhwyd conjectures, there be-
ing a distinct Place for the fastning of the Acus or Tongue of the Buckle. 558

The Figure of the more perfect is exhibited in the Table;

as also
that of a

Roman Key of Brass, found at the Place before mentioned.
It is made in the Form of a Ring to wear upon the Finger.

Another
somewhat different.

In the Philosophick Transactions, N° 176, is
the Figure of an old

Roman Brass Ring marked XXXV, for a Slave to
wear.

Here is one with M for a much greater Number, of the same
Metal, but whether of the same Antiquity, I dare not be positive.

One of Copper, that by lying many Ages in the Ruins of the

Roman
Station near

Adel, hath got that curious Varnish so much valued upon
their Monies.

Rings or Bracelets of Jet are also sometimes found with the

Roman
Urns:

Here are the Fragments of one given to my

Father by Dr.

Li-
ster,

and of another to me by my

Lord Bishop of

Carlisle, the one is
near half an Inch thick, and waved upon the outer Edge; the other
half a Quarter and indented, both polished, and even within; they
are about 2 ½ Inches Diameter, so that tis no easy Matter to tell what
they were originally designed for, (except perhaps as Amulets) because
they could never be worn either as Armilla, or Anuli.

A small Stone
found with the

Roman Monuments near

Adle, which is of the Form of
a little Grind-stone, fills most exactly the Cavity of these Rings;

as a
large Ring or Bracelet of Copper wreathed (found in the

Roman

Dormitory
at

Yorke) doth almost surround them, being eight Inches in Circum-
ference.

Yorke was also found a

Roman Panuelium, or Shuttle, 3 ½
Inches long, yet not one broad in the very middle; the Hollow for
the Licium, being but a Quarter in Breadth, shews that it was either
for Silk, or very fine Linen; for I think their incombustible Winding-
Sheets could not be made so fine.

Here is a Piece of the Lanuginous
Stone, or Mineral Amainthus, or Asbestinum, of which they were made.

Dr. Plot hath a learned and ingenious Discourse (N° 172. in the Phil.
Trans.) upon Trial of a Piece of incombustible Cloth presented to,
and exposed to the Fire, before, the

Royal Society. Of the tessellated Pavements, or Dice-like Squares of Stone or Brick,
wherewith the

Romans used to pave the Place, where they set the Præ-
torium, or General's Tent, &c. Here are various Specimens of different
Sizes and Colours (white, red, blue, yellow, and black) and from very
distinct Places; as from the ancient

Isurium (

Aldbrough) from a Quar-
ter to half an Inch Square: Also some of a larger Sort, dark colour-
ed and red, which I took from a checquered Pavement discovered
there, An. 1702, within a Stable; these are an Inch Square. I saw the
by Musaic Work (in May 1703) as laid by the

Romans. Some of both
Sizes as sent me

Mr. Midgeley of

Beverley, from a Pavement lately disco-
vered in those Parts, which hath not yet met with a Person of Curio-
sity enough to give the World an Account of it. Four of those from
the noted

Stunsfield Pavement near

Oxford, concerning which the in-
genious

Mr. Hearne hath a learned and curious Dissertation, annexed
to the 8th Vol. of

Leland's Itinerary.

Roman Plasticks.

That great Naturalist Dr.

Lister distinguisheth the

Roman Urns (Phil.
Col. N° 4.) into three different Sorts, viz. 1. Such as are of a blewish
Clay Colour, having a great Quantity of coarse Sand wrought in with
the Clay: 2. Others of the same Colour, having either a very fine
Sand mix'd with it, full of Mica, or Cat-Silver, or else made of a
Clay naturally sandy: 3. Red Urns of fine Clay, with little or no
Sand. These, as another celebrated Author rightly observes, are all
of a very handsome Make and Contrivance, and are one of the many Instances
that are at this Day extant of the Art of that People, of the great Exact-
ness of their Genius, and Happiness of their Fancy. (

Dr. Woodward's Let-
ter to

Sir Chr. Wren annexed to the 8th Vol. Of

Leland's Itinerary,
pag. 13.) Of the first Sort, here are Fragments of the Theca Numma-
ria, found full of Coins near Fleet in

Lincolnshire, An. 1701, of which
see Phil. Trans. N° 279.

Of the second are those of an Urn found
at

Yorke in

Mr. Gyles's

Garden in

Micklegate (not

Midselgate, as mis-
printed in the said Phil. Col.)

Of the third Sort (viz. the Red) there
seem to be two Degrees, if not distinct Sorts, a coarser, which yet are
red quite through, and the finer sort, which are wash'd over with a
Kind of Varnish of a bright Coral Colour, and for Distinction are
called the Coralline Urns.

To these mentioned by the Learned Do-
ctor, may be added some that are clear white, of which I have Part
of the Rim of a very large Vessel that I brought from

Ribchester
Com. Lane. 1702.

A Piece of a Vessel containing three or four Gal-
lons, found at

Aldbrough 1707;

and others of different Forms that I
gathered at

Burgdunum in this Neighbourhood, which seem to be made
of that Sort of white Clay, since made Use of for Tobacco-pipes, of
which we have some at

Wortley in

this Parish, of which see, pag. 196.

Some of these of the white Clay are wash'd over with the blew Co-
lour, as appears when they are broken, and some with a dark Colour;
as are also some of the coarser Blew, with Red.

An entire

Roman Lamp that I bought at

London;

another some-
what maimed, but of finer Workmanship, that was dug up at

Yorke,
upon the Bottom is FVGARI. VV.

The Mouth of a Præfericulum,
given me by

Dr. Woodward.

The Mouth of a large Vessel found at the
Station last mentioned, which even in the thinnest Part (of which
here is also a Specimen) is an Inch thick, but the Handles are half a
Foot or seven Inches round; one of these, though of the coarsest
Clay, hath had an Inscription, of which only the three last Letters
OMS remain. The fine Coralline Urns are rarely without the Ar-
tificer's Name, in rais'd Letters impress'd with a Stamp at the Bottom
of the Patera, or other Vessel used at their Sacrifices or solemn Festi-
vals; for I think these, which are of very curious Workmanship,
were rarely used as Sepulchral Urns.

Upon a Fragment of one of
these is the Lion catching at his Prey; upon another the Statue of

Hercules, with the Lions Skin cast over his Left Arm.

One inscribed,
DOVIICCVS.

Another QVINT. IM. These were from

Yorke.

Others of the like Materials from old Galatum, sent me by the

Lord
Bishop of

Carlisle, (inscribed REGINVS.) from

Chester, by

Henry
Prescot Esq; from

Aldbrough and

Ribchester, by the

Rev. Mr. Morris,
and

Mr. Hargreaves;

and some were found at

Burgdunum in this Neigh-
560 bourhood.

One found by

Roger Gale Esq; in the Bank of

Trent by

Littleborow;

and another with TRIO upon it, sent me by

Sir Godfrey
Copley;

and lastly, one found in digging for the Foundation of the
present Fabrick of

St. Paul's at

London, whereupon is a humane Statue
very well designed with a Præfericulum, or other Sacrificing Vessel, in
his Right Hand: These are all very curiously wrought in Bass-Relieve,
and were made in Molds, of which I saw one in the Learned and In-
genious Dr.

Woodward's Musæum at

Gresham-College.

Here is also one
of the dark coloured Clay, with a Heart upon it;

and another with
a Capricorn.

Of the Sepulchral Urns, here is one that contains almost a Gallon;

another scarce a Quart, but of a very neat Make;

a third almost of
the same Form, but considerably less, full of the Ashes of a Child, in
the greater are larger Bones with the Ashes.

Others less than that,
and of different Forms and Colours.

A very small red Urn from

Yorke, where 14 or 16 of them were found surrounding a large one,
and were supposed to contain the Ashes of the Parent and Children;
all these are broad and open at the Top to receive the Bones and
Ashes. Those with the narrow Necks, were, I presume, for Liquids.

A Pottle Bottle of the coarse Red from

Isurium; I was well pleased to find it
entire, that I might observe the Difference betwixt the

Roman Congius
(of which I take this to be strictly the half) and our Gallon; and this
comes the nighest

Mr. Greave's Computation, containing three Pints
and a Half, the

Winchester Measure.

One of a finer Clay from Yorke,
with a Handle; this is Red;

but here is also one of the Blew,

and a
third of the clear White Clay that I brought from the same Place; it
hath a Moulding about the Neck.

A flat Vessel about five Inches Dia-
meter,

and one deep, that I supposed was originally designed as a Co-
ver to a Sepulchral Urn of the like Dimensions; this is of the blewish
Clay, and from

Yorke,

part of one of the White from

Burgodunum.

With the

Roman Urns are often found Fragments of Glass Viols,
of that Sort which is commonly called Lacrimatorys. Of the

Roman
Glass Ware, I have from

London,

Yorke,

Aldbrough, and the Station
near

Adle; the blewish Green,

and some of the White are very thick,
viz. above a Quarter of an Inch.

Part of a Lacrimatory from

Isurium,
it hath been three Inches Square.

The Handle (half a Foot long) of
a large Vessel, found at

St. Paul's;

thick white Glass from the same
Place.

A Piece remarkably thin for those Ages, found five or six
Yards deep in the

Roman Wall at

Aldbrough:

A Rim of one wrought
Hollow;

fluted or furrowed Glass, sent me by

Sir Godfrey Copley,

with a Lump of Metal that seems to have boiled out of a Crucible,
from the Ruine of the said Wall.

When Christianity encreased, the Custom of burning the Dead
begun to cease, and was little practised by any in the later Times of
the

Antonines, the same Place without

Boutham-bar at

Yorke was con-
tinued for their Sepulchre; as appears by Humane Bones, that have
never passed the Fire, digged up there. It will not appear strange
that these Bones should remain so entire, as they appear to be by the
lower Jaw,

and Thigh-bone in this Repository, to one that hath seen
in what a stiff Clay they are interred, and at how great a Depth;
these particularly were nine Feet deep, whereof six were Clay, and
three a black Earth:

The Lead Coffin, which was about seven
Foot long, was enclosed in a prodigious strong one made of Oak
Planks, two Inches and a half thick, which besides the Rivettings
were tack'd together with Brags, or great Iron-nails; some of which 561 I have by me, they are four Inches long, the Heads not Die-wise,
as the large Nails now are, but perfectly flat, and an Inch broad:

Here is one somewhat different, tis half an Inch broad and thin,
somewhat in the Form of a Wedge, and the Head not round as the
other, but somewhat like the modern Draw-nails; but the rest of the
old ones are Square, the four Sides of an equal Breadth. Many of
them are almost consumed with Rust, and so is the Out-side of the
Planks; but the Heart of the Oak is firm, and the Lead fresh and
plyable, whereas one found the year before (viz. 1701,) is brittle
and almost wholly consumed, having no Planks to guard it:

Here is
a Sample of each of them. The Bones are very light, tho entire;
but the double Coffins were so heavy that they were forced to drag
them out of their

old Dormitory, where they had lodged 1500 Years,
with a Team of Horses.

There was digged up at the same Place a Sort of Coffin made of
Clay, I have by me Part of the Bottom, which (for the Convenien-
cy of baking, I presume) was divided into several such Parts; this
is entire as first molded by the

Romans, is 14 ½ Inches long, and al-
most 11 broad at the narrower End, and nigh 12 ½ at the broader:
This was the lowest Part for the Feet, the rest were proportionably
broader to the Shoulder; it is an Inch thick besides the Ledges, which
are two in Thickness, and one in Breadth, and extend from the nar-
rower End to within three Inches of the broader, where it is flat from
Edge to Edge, and somewhat thinner for the next to ly upon it.
Which several Parts seem to have been joined together by a Pin; for
at the End of each Tile is a Hole that would receive a common Slate-Pin,
the Ledges are wrought a little Hollow, to receive the Sides, I presume;
and at the Feet are two contrary Notches to fasten the End-piece.
This Bottom I should conclude to have consisted strictly of eight such
Parts, from a like Character 8 impress'd upon the Clay by the Sandapi-
larius's Finger, before its baking, but that I doubt numeral Figures can-
not plead that Antiquity in these European Parts; though it appears by
a Letter of

Dr. Wallis's (Phil. Trans. N° 266) that they were used in

England, An. 1090.

Here are also Fragments of such a Coffin found
at

Burgdunum.

In the said Place of

Roman Sepulture at

Yorke, was discovered a re-
markable Hypogæum, An. 1696. It was large enough to receive three or
four Corpses, and was paved with Bricks, scarce two Inches thick, yet
8 ½ in Length, and as many in Breadth, being Æquilaterally Square.
Upon this was a second Pavement of the like Bricks, to cover the
Seams of the lower, and prevent the working up of Vermin.But
those that covered the Vault were the most remarkable that ever I
saw, being about two Foot square, and of a Thickness proportionable.
These being indisputably

Roman do obviate the most material Obje-
ction that some made to the Antiquity of the

Stunsfield Pavement, from
the Squareness of the Bricks found with it.

Here is also deposited another Sort of

Roman Bricks, that I discove-
red in my Survey of

this Parish, amongst the Ruins of

Kirkstall-Ab-
bey, which come somewhat nearer those mentioned by

Vitruvius, be-
ing eight Inches broad, and almost double the Length:

Here are
also lesser Tiles (or Chequered Pavements) three Inches square, that
I had from the same Place, and from

Burrow-bridge near

Isurium; but
some of the like Dimensions (or rather larger) that were found at

Leedes, seem by the Painting upon them to be of a later Date, though
now obsolete.

In the same Abbey I observed another Sort of Bricks, 562 of the Shape of those now in use, but much larger, being near 11
Inches in Length, and five in Breadth, yet but two in Thickness.
These seem to have been laid when the Monastery was builded, which
being about the Year 1147, shows the great Antiquity of Bricks in
these Parts, they being in use about 550 Years ago. By that which
a Servant brought me thence, they appear to be strictly of the same
Length and Breadth with those in the Wall of

London; as the very
accurate

Dr. Woodward hath described them (p. 17. of the before-men-
tioned Letter), only these being rather older than that Additional
Work (built probably about

K. John's Time) upon the Foundation of
the

Roman Wall of that City, are thinner by half an Inch, being
therein more like those of the

Romans.

Such of their Bricks as have Inscriptions upon them, are very rare-
ly met with: I have made a most diligent Inquest after those that

Camden mentions at Grimscar near

Eland, but can find no more Re-
mains of them, than of the noted Inscription, Paulinus hic prædicavit
& celebravit, at

Dewsbury, which was not to be met with upon the
strictest Scrutiny, I could possibly make, when I went purposely to
the Place. This shews the Necessity of Repositories for such vene-
rable Remains. But though those of the fourth Cohort are lost, yet
good Hap hath brought to my Notice and Possession one of the ninth
Legion's, which the learned

Sir Hen. Savile in his Notes upon

Tacitus,
shews to have been in

Britain in

Galba's Time, and that it was also

Hispaniensis; but that it, as well as the VIth and XXth, was also cal-
led Victrix, or that it resided at

Yorke, was not known before; and
yet both are evident from the Inscription upon this Brick found there,
in

Mickle-gate, not far from

Trinity-yard, where was digg'd up the
Funeral Monument of the Standard-Bearer of the said VIIII Legion
(which Way of Writing 9 is frequent upon the

Roman Monies); of
which see the Phil. Trans. N° 305, and the curious Oxford Livy (Vol.
6. p. 181.)

The said Sepulchral Monument was happily rescued
by

Dr. Bryan Fairfax, from the brutish Workmen who had broke it
in the Middle, and were going to make use of it for two Throughs, as
they call them, to bind the Wall; but by that worthy Gentleman's
Direction it was walled upright, with the Inscription and Effigies to
the Front, and is since removed to the Gardens of

Sir Hen. Goodrick
at

Ribston. This Brick had been several Times made use of, with
broken Stones and Brick-bats, by

Mr. Smith in making Moulds for
casting Bells. Upon my Enquiry after Inscriptions in that ancient
City, he recollected himself that he had seen some old Letters, but
thought the Brick was lost, though upon Search we found the Piece
which is inscribed, LEG. I X. VIC. This is also an Argument of the
Peace these Parts enjoyed at that Time, which I take to be the later
End of

Severus's Reign, making Bricks, casting up High-ways, &c.
being the usual Employment of Soldiers at such Vacancies.

Sir Hen.
Savile was of Opinion, that this Nona

Hispaniensis in

Britannia, was
one of those established by

Tiberius,

Caius, or

Claudius, or peradven-
ture in the later End of

Augustus; but however, that it was certainly
here in

Nero's Reign, and that

Pet. Cerealis was then Lieutenant there-
of, is indisputably evident from Tacitus, (Lib. 14. cap. 10.) where
he gives a lamentable Account of the Slaughter of Seventy thousand
Citizens, and Confederates, by the enraged

Boadicea, in which Num-
ber was the Foot of this 9th Legion,

Cerealis with the Horse hardly
escaping.

I shall add a Passage in a Letter I received from the ingeni-
ous

Mr. Hearne, of the

Bodleian Library, because it relates to an Au-
563 thor rare to be met with in these remote Parts: "I am mightily
pleased with the Inscriptions you sent me relating to the 9th Le-
gion, there being now no Room to doubt about the place of Re-
sidence; a Thing which was unknown before; and for that Rea-
son, those who have written about the

Roman Legions, have said
nothing about this, but leave us quite in the dark; only

Ursatus
[in his Book de Notis Rom.] does remark that it must be somewhere
in

Britain, because

Tacitus tells us, that when the Colony at

Cama-
lodunum was destroyed by

Boadicea;

Pætilius Cerealis Legate of the
IX Legion, came to their Assistance; but yet he makes no mention
of its being stiled Victrix."

Another of these inscribed LECXXVV. This was the Present of

Henry Prescot Esq; of

Chester, where the 20th Legion was seated to be
a Check or Barrier to the Ordovices. This Legion was stiled Valens
Victrix. In some very ancient

Roman Monuments, and particularly
the Columna rostrata, erected in the first Punick War against the Car-
thaginians, and yet preserved in the Capitol, is an unaccountable
Change of Letters, as of G into C, U to O, &c. as Macistratos for
Magistratus, (Brerewood Inq. into Lang. p. 53.) so in this Brick Lecio
for Legio. And in an ancient Coin in this Collection Divos Julius for
Divus. Other Instances, as Conjuci for Conjugi, may be seen in the in-
dustrious

Mr. Lhwyd's Archæologia Brittanica, pag. 25. The Letters up-
on this, and the former Brick are not engraven, as upon Stone, but
impressed with a Stamp about five Inches long, and 1 ¼ broad, which
leaves a Cavity in the Brick with raised Letters; as are also those small
ones upon the best Coralline Pateræ.

Pieces of

Roman Tile from

Rib-
chester, with Lines alternately raised and furrowed.

Also an Iron
Nail from Anchor-hill there.

Pieces of small Iron Instruments, found in
the Urns at

Ingham in

Norfolk, but so corroded that the Form is not
to be distinguished.

A round Stone Ball found in the Ruins of the

Roman Wall at

Ald-
brough, used for Exercise and Diversion; it seems to be their Harpa-
stum with which they played, by dividing into Companies, and
striving to throw it through one anothers Goals.

A Wood Pin found
with other

Roman Reliques under the Foundation of

St. Paul's

London,
it is rather thicker than the common Wires for knitting Stockins up-
on, but only 2 ½ Inches in Length; the Head is wrought in a fur-
rowed Spiral Line.

A small Instrument of Copper that seems to
have been one of the Res turpeculæ or Priapi, worn by the

Roman Chil-
dren against Fascination.

The Fragments of a Bead of Earth, not un-
like the Druid Amulets, or Snake-beads:

An entire one curiously
wrought with transverse Lines, and painted or glazed with a blewish
Green. They were both found with Pieces of Copper Wire in the

Roman Burying-place at

Yorke, but whether used as Ornaments or A-
mulets is doubtful.

The Snake-beads formerly described are of Glass.

One of the Brass Instruments found near

Bramham-moor, as the Ser-
vants of

John Ellis, of

Kidal, Esq; were plowing (An. 1709.) at a
Place called

Osmond thick; there were five or six of them of different
Sizes, from little more than 3 to 4½ Inches in length, and from 1½ to
2½ in breadth; they are somewhat in the Form of a Wedge, as pro-
ceeding from a thin Edge, which after so many Ages is tolerably sharp
to 1½ or two Inches at the thicker End, where they are hollowed to
put upon a Shaft; each of them hath an Ear or Loop. Some sup-
pose them to have been Arrow Heads, or Axes of the ancient

Britains;
others, of the

Roman Catapultæ: I think they are as much too light for 564 the latter, as they are too heavy for the former; and therefore take
them rather to have been the Heads of Spears, or walking Staves of
the civilized

Britains; and though of different Form from those de-
scribed by Speed (Hist. of Brit. cap. 6.) yet by the Loop in the Side
we may better conceive how those Ornamental Labels were fastned
than by the Pictures, as there exemplified. They are placed here a-
mongst the

Roman Antiquities in deference to the Judgment of the in-
genious

Mr. Hearne of

Oxford, who hath bestowed an elaborate Dis-
sertation upon them, which hath had two Editions, (Phil. Trans
N° 322, and in the first Vol. of

Leland's Itinerary.) He supposes
them to have been

Roman Chissels, used to cut the Stones and other
Materials, that were judged serviceable for building the Camps.

Ano-
ther of the brazen Cunei, or Celtes, somewhat longer, and not quite
so broad.

A Tintanabulum, or

Roman Bell, probably their Æs Ther-
marum; tis near a Foot in Circumference. Don.

Rev. Geo. Plaxton.

In the

Roman Sepulture at

Yorke, was also digg'd up Part of an A-
quaduct of red Clay, consisting of many Pieces wrought in a Cylindri-
cal Form, each a Foot long, and four Inches Diameter, and are
wrought in the Form of a Scrue, or Spiral Line on the In-side, and
hath a narrow Neck at one End, to put into the open End of the
next. Having procured two of these, and as many Parts of the Clay
Coffin before-mentioned, I deposited one of each, with the Shield de-
scribed, Phil. Trans. N° 241, in the Repository of the

Royal Society,
then at

Gresham College, now near

Temple-bar..

The Shield is in the Form of the

Roman Parma, but not so large,
this wanting three Inches of two Foot in Diameter. Their votive
Shields upon Columns or Palm-trees inscribed, VIC. AVG, or DAC.
PAR. &c. in their ancient Medals are of this Form, as to Roundness.
But this hath round the Umbo, or protuberant Boss in the Center
(which is made of a Convex Iron-plate about eight Inches over, and
wrought hollow on the in-side to receive the Gladiator's Hand), 14
Circular Equidistant Rows of Brass Studs of that Size that 262 make
a Circle of five Foot wanting three Inches (for that is the Circumfe-
rence of the Shield) there are proportionably in the inner Circles to
the Center, the inmost of which is placed upon the Umbo: The rest
upon as many Circular Plates of Iron, each about half an Inch broad.
That which I cut open to observe the Texture, had certain cross La-
mina that passed on the Back of the Circular Plates from the Rim,
where they were about 1/3 of an Inch broad, to the Umbo where they
were contracted into a less Compass. The inner Coat next these
Iron-plates is a very thick, hard, strong Leather, upon which is a se-
cond Cover of the same; and upon the out-side of this are plated the
Iron Pins that run through the Brass Studs, which are cast purely for
Ornament's Sake. The next Cover is a Linnen Cloth, but discolour-
ed, though perhaps not with Age only, but sour Wine and Salt, or
other Liquid, wherein it seems to have been steeped; and lastly, up-
on the said Linnen is the outmost Cover, which is of softer Leather.
All these Coats that compose the Shield are bound together by two
Circular Plates of Iron; a thin narrow one near the Center, and a
broader at the Circumference; both which Rims do also fasten the
Handle, which is of Wood, and hath also eight smaller Plates upon
each Side the hollow for the Hand, about three or four Inches long,
to secure it. This is not flat, as that in the Musæum of the

Royal
Society, but absolutely Concave; and from the Skirts of the protu-
berant Boss in the Middle, riseth gradually to the Circumference near 565 three Inches Perpendicular. The Circular Plates not being fasten'd
with Cross Lamina upon the Back (as that), but each upon the outer
Edge of the other, which occasion its rising in that Concave Manner.
This I apprehended to be a

Roman Shield, Phil. Trans. N° 241, but
none of their Authors mentioning the Iron-plates, and the Leather
of this which I procured since, being more soft and pliable, than
can well be supposed of so great Antiquity, I am ready to think they
belong to some later Northern Nations, and shall be thankful for
more particular Information.

The Defect in the Umbo of this is sup-
plied by one lately sent me from the North, by the

Rev. Mr. Coning-
ham, which hath the Cuspis entire; this, with a smaller Boss it stands
upon, is near four Inches more protuberant than the first Umbo.
This, though more than a Foot less in Circumference than the former,
hath an equal Number of Circular Rows of small Brass Studs.

Roman Vessel of that Sort commonly called Lacrimatory's, of the
red Clay,

and another of the blew, both from their Burying-Place at

Yorke, the former six, the later four Inches high.

Wormius calls one
of the like Materials and Form, Urna Lacrymalis terrea (Musæum, pag.
347.) Vasculum oblongum, colli Angustioris, ventre ampliore, longitudine 5
unciarum.

Moscardus's Musæum is the Figure of a Brass Head, of the Bolt of
a

Roman Catapulta.

Dr. Plot mentions the like in

Staffordshire, the Fi-
gure of which Tab XXXIII. Fig. 5. exactly suits one of them found
in

Craven, about six Years ago, and was the Present of

Ambrose Pud-
sey, of

Bolton, juxta Bolland, Esq; in whose Grounds it was digg'd up
by the Labourers as they were making a Fence, near the Moor now
called Monnebents, perhaps from the

Saxon Monec, monachus and bene
a Prayer, except some notorious Slaughter of the Monks in after Ages
might deduce it from beneoτen interficere. This is seven Inches long,
and 2½ broad at the Edge, which was placed foremost for Execution,
and is yet sharp and piercing, the wooden Stem was fitted into the
Hollows of each Side of it, where it is an Inch and half thick.

This affords me a fit Transition to the Heads of the

British Arrows,
which are of Flint, an Inch and half long, and an Inch over the
broadest Part, exactly in the Form of a bearded Arrow, jagg'd at each
Edge with a thick Stem in the midst. These are sometimes found in

England, but more frequently in

Scotland, where they are called Elves-
Arrows, and worn by the Credulous, as Amulets. The

Indians do to
this Day head their Arrows with such like, as appears by one in this
Musæum, of an Orange coloured Flint.

Here is also a larger Flint
Head without Grains, more like that which

Dr. Plot supposes to have
been the Head of their Mataræ or

British Darts which were thrown by
those that fought in Essedis (Nat. Hist. of Staff. p. 396.) It was found
among the

Roman Monuments near

Adle-mill.

Amongst the

British Curiosities, I had formerly placed the Securis La-
pidea, or rather Marmorea, sent me by

Stephen Tempest, of

Broughton, Esq;
but the ingenious

Mr. Hearne of

Oxford hath bestowed a learned Dis-
sertation upon it (premised to the 4th Vol. of

Leland's Itinerary) to
prove it rather

Danish. It was found, An 1675, in an Urn ten Inches
Diameter, and therewith a Brass Lance, and a Hone to sharpen it. The
Mallet's Head is the most curious and entire that ever I beheld; it is
of a speckled Marble polished, six Inches in Length, 3½ broad, and
seven in Circumference, even in the Middle, where what is want-
ing in Breadth is made up in the Thickness, and is very artificially
done, as if it had been a

Roman Improvement of the

British Work. 566 It is wrought to an Edge at one End, though each of them is blunted
with Use, and a sloping at the Side, in the Forms expressed in the
Table adjoining, whereof one represents the full Side of it, the other
the Edge, that the Eye for the Manubrium to pass thro' (which is
near an Inch and Quarter Diameter) may be better discerned. I sup-
pose it to have been a Mallet wherewith the Priests slew the Sacrifi-
ces, and fancied it to be the ancient

British, rather than any later In-
habitants of this Island. It being reasonable to suppose, that the Abo-
rigines in each Country, before the use of Metals was common, would
make Use of Stones, Flints, Shells, Bones, &c. formed in the best
Manner they could, to the various Uses they designed them. And it
is usual for such Instruments or Utensils gratefully to retain even in
different Languages, the Memory of the first Matter they were made
of, as Cochleare a Spoon (though of Metal) because Cockle-shells were
first used to the Purpose. So Candle-stick, or Staff, (for it is canδŗ-
τæꝻ in the

Saxon Monuments;) so likewise Hookes (Amos IV. 2.) in
the Original is Thorns, with which they used to pierce Fish, before
they had the Skill of applying Iron to that Use. And to give but
one Instance more, the Sharp Knives (Joshua V. 2.) used in Circum-
cision, are by our

Saxon Ancestors (who received their very Names
from their Weapon Sex or Seax, culter, gladius) called ŗτœnene ŗæx
(

Mr. Thwait's

Saxon Hept.) which in the Original is Knives of Flint,
which is more agreeable both to those Parts of the World, where
there was but little Iron, and to that Operation, wherein the

Jewish
Doctors say that sharp Flints or Stones were used. So, as to the Mat-
ter in Hand, the ancient

Britains (with whom Iron was so rare, that

Cæsar tells us, they used it for Money) made their Arrow Heads of
Flint, and probably their Mallets for Sacrifice of Stone or Marble.
But because I cannot easily allow my self to dissent from the learned

Mr. Hearne, who argues that the Position of the Urn with the Mouth
downwards is peculiarly used by the

Danes, and that a Mallet in-
stead of a Scepter was put into the Hand of their famous God

Thor,
"who was supposed to be a God of much greater Power than the
rest, and therefore he was most esteemed, and the Honours paid him
were more considerable than those paid to any besides. His Domi-
nion was believed to be Universal, and the other Gods were look'd
upon as subject to him. Nothing of Moment was undertaken or
transacted without Addresses and Supplications first made to him.
And it was reckoned a very great Honour to have Instruments made
in such a Form as put them in Mind of him." Thus far I heartily
concur with that learned and ingenious Author, and believe that their
Sacrificing Mallets might be made in that Form, rather than any other
Instruments, with respect to that great reputed Deity; and I do sup-
pose this to be one of them, rather than a Battle-Axe belonging to a
Soldier of inferiour Quality; for seeing their other Military Instru-
ments in Metal are frequently met with, why should not also their
Battle-Axes of Stone, the common Soldiers being the most numerous
Part of an Army, it is therefore much more probable in my slender
Opinion that it belonged to their Sacrifices before their Conversion to
the Christian Faith.

The Lance found in the same Urn is of Brass,
scarce an Inch broad, but seems by its Tendency to a Point to have
been three in Length. It is sharp enough to shave a Sabine Priest.

The
Cos Olearia is of a blewish Grey Hone, only half an Inch in Thickness,
though three long, and near one broad, in all its Parts equal.

There
were also certain Instruments of Bone, but mostly reduced to Ashes, 567 though not by the Force of Fire, but Effect of Time; the Ends of those
that remained, were bored through with the same Instrument (as it
seems by the Size) wherewith the Lance and Hone are, but for what
Use they were originally designed I cannot divine, only an Inch in
Length remaining; it tapers like a Bodkin, is but a Quarter of an
Inch at the broader End.

In the next Field was found near thirty
Years afterwards an Iron Instrument half a Yard in Length, whether
one of the Secespitæ of the

Romans, who had several Stations in these
Parts, or a

Danish Weapon, I cannot determine.

And of the same
Metal an old Spur four Inches long; it was found 2½ Yards deep
in digging for the Foundations of a Bridge.

And in the Year 1700,
a Brass Buckle or Fibula, with this peculiar, that the Acus is a fifth
Part longer than the Diameter it is made for. All these Antiquities
were sent me by the said worthy Gent.

Mr. Camden takes Notice of

British Brass Swords found in

England
and

Wales, to which I may add that others are digg'd up in

Ireland,
and the

Isle of Man, that which I received from

Dublin is mentioned
already, pag. 473. Since which I have been honoured with some va-
luable Curiosities from the Learned

Bishop of

Sodor and Man, amongst
which is one of the Brass Swords, of which several have been found
in that Island.

Some of the Roman Monuments before-mentioned are now placed
in the Form of an antique Alcove, which is covered with an Arch of
Marble, of very curious Workmanship, which once belonged to a
Shrine in the

Lady's Chapel at

York-Minster, which

Archbishop Thoresby
(as

Bishop of Godwin tells us) adorned with Images and Pictures of
excellent Workmanship, and removing the Bodies of several of his
Predecessors, which were buried scatteringly about the Church, en-
tombed them there in seemly Manner, leaving a Place for himself in the
Middle. This Chapel, without any regard to the venerable Remains
of the Founders of that noble Cathedral (one of the most glorious
under the Cope of Heaven) was destroyed at the Reformation. Yet
even then this noble Monument found so much Favour for the delicate
Workmanship thereof, to be spared, and was enclosed betwixt two
Walls in a private House in that Neighbourhood; where being disco-
vered of late Years, it was sold by Parcels to Statuaries, and others
for common Use; and large Pieces of very curious Carvings lay ex-
posed in the Præcentor's Lane, where I have often beheld them with
Admiration, and been reminded of that of the Psalmist, A Man was
famous according as he had lifted up Axes upon the thick Tree; But now
they break down the carved Work thereof with Axes and Hammers, Ps. 74.

Arm-hole, and above an Inch to spare, and with my Hand could
just reach the top of his Head. He was seven Foot and five Inches
high, but corpulent and unhealthy, and falling sick at

Bradford,
was interredburied there 13 June 621 From the manuscript Collection of my old friend Mr.
