«onc!ly, it was obierved, that the glands of the true bladder 
were exceeding big and red, that colour being very likely, the 
effeiS of the inflammation, cauied by the dilaceration of the 
Urethra: M.SufJiere oftentimes obferved, that a thick Mucus^ 
which runs out of the bladder, and which feme take to be the 
matter of an impofthume, or ulcer in the kidneys, is only pro- 
duced by thofc glands of the bladder becoming Icrophulousj and 
that when that Mucus grows thick and clammy, it caufes the 
lame pain on the neck of the bladder, as if it were a (lone 5 the 
glands of the hrge Ciftts were very apparent, but very fmallj but 
were not at all fenfible in the fmaller Ciftis^ 
Now it is eafy, by the defcription of thefe bladders, to account 
for the lymptoms 5 for by the fituation of the large Cifiis, it is 
plain, that the urine could not be dilcharged, but by the force of 
mfpiration; its own mufcles not being able to force it out, and 
coniequently it could not be voided but by little and little 3 and 
thefe efforts of infpiration were to be the greater, when there was 
but a little quantity of urine, becaule it required a greater force 
to make it afcend from the bottom of the CiftiSy which could not 
be done without great labour and fatigue.

ABOUT half a mile from Reculver towards Herm, there 
appear in the cliff. Strata of fhells of the whn^Conchites 
fort, Iving in a greenifh fand j they leem to be firm, and fome of 
them are'entire, but when you go to take them out of their beds 
they crumble to powder between your fingers 3 but what is moft 
remarkable is, that in the lower part of the Strata, where the 
fhells lie thickeft, there are Icattered up and down, portions of 
trunks, roots, and branches of trees^ the wood was become as black 
as coals, and lb rotten, that large pieces of it might be broken with 
one's fingers ; Mr. Gray did not know at what depth thefe might 
lie, the iurface of the Strata appearing not above two foot from 
the beach ; but he Judged it, from the fuperficies of the top of the
