Grew, Musaeum Regalis (1685)

The BUBLED Alcyon. Given by Captain Th. Fissenden. About ½ an Eln in compass. Consisting wholly of Platework, so conjoyn'd, as to make several large Apertures, runing one into another: somewhat after the manner of a Ruff. The Plates or whole Body compos'd of most minute Bubles, divided by a very thin Sepiment, and standing all in even, strait, and parallel Rows. So that it looks not much unlike Linnen-Cloath: saving its brown tawny colour.
