Petiver, Gazophylacii Naturæ (1702-1706) 6. Spongia BARBADENSIS alba, Corallii facie. This is perforated, some few large enough to contain a Cherry stone, in which I have found small Shells, and therefore I conceive made by them for their receptacles; the rest which it’s full of, are but pin-holes, it may be blown through in any part, as you can through thin Cloth. Mr Will. Stratton brought me this, with some Shells, &c. from Barbadoes.
Petiver, Gazophylacii Naturæ (1702-1706) 10. Corallium stellatum compressum albescens. The superficies is smooth, and the Stars scarcely raised. I think Mr Stratton brought me this from our West India Islands.
