head, and fo clefcend in order to the lower parts According to 

 which method^ the firft that prefents it felf is one of the BrontU^ 

 whofe upper part was defcribed before, feft. 33. of this Chapter*, 

 where I had alfo (hewn its bafis, but that it fomwhat refembles 

 part of the lynl<pa,*.or, or bafis of a Mans brain, yet included with- 

 in its dura Meninx, with the feveral^irj of nerves cut afunder as 

 they come through it, according as the brain is prepared and in- 

 verted in Dr. Willis new way of differing it: Befide the 

 exit of the proce/Tm Mammillares, and feveral jtoir.? of nerves, it has 

 a fair refemblance of the Cerebellum at a a, 2nd of the Medulla 

 oblongata at b b, as is plainly reprefented in Tab. 7. Fig. 9. This 

 was found, asabove-faid, in the Chiltern Country, and much bet- 

 ter dcferves the name of Encephaloides, than any defcribed by Al- 

 drovandut h , or others. 



1 48. Add hereunto another fort of Jlone, found in the rubble 

 Quarry near Shotover-hWl, lively reprefenting the Olfattory nerves 

 or par primum, entire and whole, and not cut off Of thefc there 

 are many to be found in thek pits of a yellowifh colour, fmooth 

 without, and I think all of them (for I have broke feveral) hoU 

 low within,asin7d. J. Fig. 10. 



149. I have alfo 2 Jlone (not unlike 2, pebble*) found fom where 

 in the gravel near the City of Oxford, of an oval figure, and for 

 the greateft part of a reddifli colour ; but at one end diftin- 

 guifh'd, firft with a circle of white, within which is a Zone of 

 the proper colour of the jlone, and then a round pupilla of white^ 

 in the whole refembling the figure of an Eye obfcured by a Cata- 

 rafi, as in Tab. 7. Fig. n. This 1 fhould have taken fortheftone 

 called Beli Oculus, but that Poetiws c exprefly makes the body of 

 that toleof a white colour : The neareft it comes to any yet 

 defcribed, is the Leucophthalmm of Pliny, which he plainly fays 

 is of a reddifh colour, in which yet it carryeth the form of an 

 Eye both for white and black d ; And fo do's ours, only it wants 

 the black Pupilla, which we muft fuppofe to be covered by a Ca- 

 taraft. However, it may pafs for an Ophthalmites, or fome fort 

 cf Eye-done : whence I proceed to fome others, in shape alfo of 

 another of our fenfes Organs.
