The Biology of the Crocodilia 45 



Cayman or Crocodile, and I found by the inquiry 

 of a very observing gentleman there, that they 

 were nothing but several Stones, which that 

 Creature swallows for digestion. He took out of 

 one a piece of a Rock as big as his head: out of 

 others he had taken sixteen or twenty lesser. 

 None regards them much there, whatever Monar- 

 des relateth."
