The said Benefactor obliged me with a Pecten from Sherburn in Gloc. Another from a Quarry near Oxford, as the Rev. Mr. Cave Nevile did with a large one from a Delf of a Stone at Heddington Com. Oxon. And with Parts of the real Shells of the lesser Escalops, from the same Quarry, some filled with, others adhering to Stone. And the Rev. Mr. Hardy sent me one of the deepest furrowed Pectenitæ from Horbling Com. Linc. Dr. Woodward sent me also two very curious Impressions of the Escallop Shells upon Stones, from Lansdown near Bath and Oxenden Com. Northampt. And one upon Flint from Hamptsted-Heath; with those of other Bivalves from Sherburn and Farmington, Com. Gloc. I have also a Pecten full of cristalized Spar, curiously striated, from Bathmell Com. Ebor. Another taken out of a Block of black Marble, by Mr. Carpenter of Yorke.
