142. After thofe that concern Reptih, corhe we next to ; form- 

 ed ftones that refemble the parts of four footed beafts, whereof we 

 meet with one fort in the Quarries at Heddington, fet in the body 

 of the (lone, the moft like to the head of a Horfe of any thing I 

 can think of; having the ears, and creft of the mane appearing 

 between them, the places of the eyes fui'tably prominent, and the 

 reft of the face entire, only the mouth and noftrih are "abfent in 

 them all, as in Tab.j. Fig.i. Thefe are plentifully enough found, 

 and of divers cizes, yet not mention'd that I know of by any 

 Author, wherefore I have taken the boldnefs to fit them with a 

 name, and in imitation of other Authors (in the like cafe) flia.ll 

 call them Hippocephaloides. 



143. At Heddington in the fame Quarry there are plenty of 

 Cardites, ox ftones in the forms of hearts, but by Authors, becaufe 

 of their bignefs, generally called Bucardites-, or ftones like Bulls 

 hearts. Thefe at Heddington are all of them of a whitifli yellow 

 colour, fmooth arid plain, asin Tab; ^, Fig. 2. but there are o- 

 thers found about Brife-Norton and Witney, that feem to be ribbed 

 on each fide, as in Fig- 3. Of thefe I had one fent me by my 

 worthy Friend Robert Ferrot Efq; from North- Leigh, ten inches 

 round, and near two pounds in weight, which is the biggeft of 

 the'kind that I ever yet faw, except one that I found at Shetfordj 

 going up a little hill eaft- ward of the town, about 20 pounds in 

 weight, though broken half away, curioufly reticulated with a 

 white-fpar-colour'd /tone, as in Tab. 7. Fig, 4. which being 

 much too heavy for my Horfe-portage, was afterward upon -my 

 direction, fetch'd away by that miracle of Ingenuity Sir Anthony 

 Cope, fince whofe deceafe it is come I fuppofe into the hands of 

 his equally ingenious Brother Sir John Cope, the Heir of his Vir- 

 tues as well as Eftate. 



1 44. To thefe add the Orchites-, or Lapides tefticulares, that lie 

 at the foot of Shotover-h\\\, which though indeed they extrava- 

 gantly exceed thofe parts as well of beafts as men, yet of the tvvo 

 1 rather thought fit to place them here : Moft of them lie in pairs 

 coupled together, as in Tab. 7, Fig. 6. and are called Diorchites; 

 but fomtimes (as it alfo falls out in monftrous Animals) there are 

 three of them found together, and then we call them TriorchiteSj 

 whereof there are two or three on the foot of the fame Hill of fo
