A Great WINGED-LOCUST. Given by Sir John Hoskins. It seems to be the second Male described by Moufet. In length almost three inches. The Face perpendicular, from the Mouth to the Crown of the Head ½ an inch. The Wings Membranous; the upper pair, the stiffest, stained with dark brown spots, and a few Rays of Red. It is one of that Swarme which some years since destroyed all the fruits in the Island of Tenariffa.

The CROWNED OCULAR CORAL. Given by Sir J. Hoskins. In this, which is also white, to the eyes on the sides, are added little Heads crowned or radiated round about.

Another Piece of the same, from Warwick-shire. Given by Sir John Hoskins.

A Piece of HARD TARRAS, from Stinchcombe in Gloucestershire. Given by the same Hand. 'Tis more close and firm than the former, rather like those in Sal Armoniac; the Fibers not altogether so regularly pild; nor so white, more resembling the Mother of Green Vitriol.

A GRITTY-STONE, from the Forrest of Dean; with which they there make the insides of their Iron Furnaces; wherein their fire is so vehement, that it either breaks or melts down any other Material. The Grains of the Stone must therefore be insuperable; yet not so united, but that it is somewhat soft and crumbly: of a dirty colour, near that of Fullers-Earth. Given by Sir John Hoskins.

A piece of Soft ALABASTER. Alabastrites. 'Tis white and crumbly, an infinite congeries of Chrystalline or shining Grains, no bigger than fine sands. It grows in Warwick-shire. And is like to that which comes from Holland. Given by Sir John Hoskins.

BRUSH ORE; From Doward in Herefordshire. Given by Sir John Hoskins. A rich sort. It consisteth also of strait and almost parallel Styriæ, most of them as thick as a strong Kniting-Pin; incrustated with very small Grains of Spar, of the colour and bigness of the Corns of Bay-Salt, but very soft.

MIXED IRON ORE, from Doward in Herefordshire. Given by Sir John Hoskins. It consisteth of four or five substances. The best part, both brown and red, or brickcolour'd. Wherewith is mixed a white and soft spar. With a blackish, shining, and crumbly Body, knobed on the top, after the manner of the Turcois.

Ordinary IRON ORE, from Clower-Wall. By the same Hand. Almost of a Brick-colour, or that of the Colcothar of Vitriol.

Another, from the Forrest of Dean, by Sir John Hoskins. 'Tis run into Styriæ, somewhat like those of Ice, brittle, ponderous, opacous, glossy, and of the colour of the coursest sort of Crocus Metallorum.

An English BOLE, like the Armenian. From Sir J. Hoskins.
