White Cylindrical Pillars in a dark coloured Stone from Towneley in Lancashire. Don. Car. Towneley Gen These are near two Inches round. Another of a bright glossy black, with white Cylinders as small as Brush Iron. But the most remarkable is a Boulder, accidentally broken in paving the Court of William Cookson Esq; the present Mayor of Leedes, whereby were discovered two Mathematical Figures, viz. an Oval within a Quadrangle in red Lines upon a yellow Ground. Kircher, in his Mundus Subterraneus, gives an Account of certain Geometrical Figures, naturally imprinted upon Stones; but I have not the Opportunity in these remote Parts to consult that Author. A transparent Peble with the exact Resemblance of a Coat of Arms, viz. an Orle of three Pieces with an Inescochean. Another Peble hath an Orange Oval in a white Stone. A blewish Stone with twelve Rows of protuberant Lozenges, set most regularly in the QuincuuxQuincunx Order. Another which hath been a Mold as it were to the former, the Squares being hollow, and the Rows protuberant; it was found at the Coal-Pits near Beiston, and given me by Alderman Askwith. A white Stone from Weetwoodside with Rows of perforated Holes regularly placed at half Inch distance from each other. A Cylindrical Stone wrought quite round, with Ridges and Furrows the length Way of the Stone, the Rigs (to use the Local Word) thick set with Knobs. A small one of 29 Rigs that was found in the midst of a great Stone near Kirkstall, and given me by Mr. Tho. Dinsdale. Another with transverse Wreaths, and a Protuberance above the Neck, that, without much Stretch of Fancy, resembles the Head of a Quadruped. Another with Rows of Holes, and in the midst of each a small raised Point. 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 Rich. Waller Esq; (e)(e) Phil. Trans. N° 150.. These I had from Madam Leighton's Quarry at Great Woodhouse. A large round Stone, but somewhat compress'd, deeply chanell'd, not unlike the Radix of those Rock-Plants: This (which was brought me from Craven) is almost a Yard in Circumference, fit for so large a Stem as the last described. Don. Rev. Mil. Gale. Two small ones, with white Veins or Chanels, the larger about three Inches round, the other not two. Some of these might perhaps have been more aptly placed amongst the Formed Stones, but their Circumscriptive Form not being Regular, they were omitted.

Part of the Venerable and Royal Bed, mentioned Page 229 of this Book, inscribed, Avant Darnle, Jamais Darriere, Avant Darnle. Don. D. Cyr. Arthington Arm. A Reel with Silk and Silver Twist wound upon it, after it was enclosed in a small Bottle; the Cork is also fastened on the In-side with three Wood Pins, by the Ingenuity of the Rev. Mr. Miles Gale, Rector of Kighley, who also sent me a Hexapode of six different Pieces fastened without Glew or Nails, yet not now to be severed: As also the best Turned-work Tobacco Stopper, all of his own Workmanship. A Body of thirty Rhombs composed by the late ingenious Virtuoso Tho. Kirk Esq; F. R. S. Other larger Mathematical Bodies. A Perpetual Almanack invented, drawn, painted upon Glass, and gilded by the same Hand. As also Astronomical Tables and Constellations upon moveable Spheres, drawn by my said dear Friend's own Hand.
