152 LETTER VI. 



Fojlfcript. I once iliw a Sea-Horfe, that an ac- 

 quaintance of mine pick'd up on the Shore, not 

 far from Naples : It was about fix inches long, 

 and exaiflly anfwcred Maxh?ii/ian MiJ]o?is defcrip- 

 tion, viz, " It foon grows dry, and is eafily pre- 

 '' ferved without farther trouble ; it is certain, it 

 ** hath fomething of the Plead and Neck of a 

 *' Horfe ; it is faid, the Female hath no Hair on 

 " it's Neck ; this Hair falls off as the Animal 

 ** dries." I obferved that it had nothing which 

 refembled Legs, but in all other refpeds was the 

 felf-fame with other Fiilies, being, however, as 

 k were jointed in the middle, and hinder parts 

 efpecially, in fuch a manner as I am not able to 

 defcribe.
