The BROAD-LIP'D WILK, with wrinkled Lips, and dyed with a deep purple. See a curious figure of this in Calceolarius's Musæum, (a) (a) Sect. 1. under the Title of Conchilium Muricatum. This Shell, saith Cerutus, (b) (b) Ibid. the Indians use as a Trumpet, both in their Wars, and in Hunting.

The TURCOIS. So called, because brought to most places from Turkey, or those that trade from thence. By the Indians, Perose; for that it is found, most abundant, saith Cerutus, (c) (c) Mus. Calceol. S. 3. only, saith Tavernere, (d) in Persia. See the Description hereof in Boetius. This here, is all over tuberous on the top with round Knobs, of several sizes, from that of the head of a small Brass Nail to that of a Pin; some of a blewish, others of darker Green. Within (somewhat like the Onyx) disposed into Zones, mixed with spots: both of a Greenish Black. 'Tis two inches broad, and near three in length: a great one, if, as Boetius saith, it seldom exceeds the bigness of a Walnut.

A Parcel of NATURAL SAL ARMONIAC. (Rather Ammoniac, from its supposed similitude to that of the Ancients, bred under the Sands in Africa.) This I call Natural, as being found sublimed, by the subterraneal Fire, in a Cole-Mine near New-Castle upon Tyne. Given by Dr. L. Hodgson, who first made experiment of the nature hereof. And hath answer'd several Quæries about it, proposed by Mr. Boyle. (a) (a) See Phil. Trans. N. 130. Here is some of it lying upon and between Beds of a light and sooty Earth; and some pure and white as Sow. It hath the perfect Tast of the Factitious; consisteth of the like Fibers or Styriæ; and may be easily sublimed into Flowers. (b) (b) See Part 4. Cerutus hath also describ'd a Sal Ammoniac, as he calls it, sublimed by the subterraneal Fires of Puteoli; but This is of a different kind, as appears from his Description of it. (c) (c) Mus. Calceol. S. 2. p. 149. Hereof are made several Preparations of great Use to Physitians, Alchymists, and others, as the Spirit Simple, Aromatiz'd, and Tinctur'd; the Tinctur'd Flowers, &c.
