(one another. In the center of theyfoe angles is a fmall hole, con - 

 fpicuous enough in nioft of them but in fome I have obferve d 

 the fmall hole on one fide, and a little prominency on the other, 

 fit as it were to be let in to the Central-hole of the next joynt, after 

 the manner of the ridges and furrows of the angles. 



20. Many of thefelongeft jointed AfterU, have ceitainjoynts 

 a thought broader and more prominent than others, dividing the 

 whole body as it were into certain conjugations, of two, three, 

 or more joynts ; which conjugations, fays the learned and curious 

 Obferver, Mr. Lifter k , are marked (as he calls them) with fets 

 of Wyers, which though I could not perceive in any found at 

 Cleydon, yet when I put a column of them- into Vinegar, at thofc 

 very places I could perceive bubbles, Handing as it were at the ori- 

 fices, where formerly thefe Wyers were in all likelyhood inferted, 

 by no means otherwife vifible to the eye. And whereas 'tis cer- 

 tain thatmoft ofthefe in other Counties, if of any confiderable 

 length, are notftraight, but vifibly bent and inclining; thefe 

 are not now, or fcarce appear to have ever been fo, though pof- 

 fibly this may rather be referred to the fhortnefs of thofe I met 

 with, or ill luck in finding none of the kind, than to any diffe- 

 rent operation in nature here, from her ufual performances in o- 

 ther places. 



21. They are found alfo about Swerford of the fame colour, 

 but nothing fo plentifully, or large as thefe at Cleydon, for the 

 biggeft I found there was fcarce an inch round ; in all other re- 

 fpeft s they correfpond with them, only the conjugations, made 

 by the prominence of fome jojnts beyond the reft, are more vifi- 

 ble in thefe than in any at Cleydon. 



22. Of Ailroites Qr flarry-ftcnes, fuch as in bulk are irregular ', 

 but adorned all over with many ftars, there are no lefs in this 

 County than four feveral forts : Whereof, in two, the ftars are in 

 mezgo Rilievo, prominent, and (landing outward, with the ftrice 

 or ft reaks defcending from the Center at the top, on all fides to 

 the Rock on which they grow. Some of thefe are of a larger, 

 2sTab.i.Fig./\. and others of a fmaller kind, asTab.2.Fig.$. 

 both found in the Quarries of rubble-ftone, dug only for mend- 

 ing the High-ways, not far from the foot of Shot-over Hill, on 

 the right hand of the road from Oxford to London? in the Parifh 

 of Heddington. k Pl)i/of ^. Tran/ ^ loeo ,.
