ip The Statural Hijlory 



150. Which by reafon they fo well refemble the Ears of a Mdn, 

 though much lefs, asm Tab. 7. Fig. 12. I have made bold to 

 call them Otites, or Auriculares : Of which we have plenty in the 

 rubble Quarries near Shotover, in the banks of the High-ways 

 North of Fulbr ookChmch ; but the mod I faw any where yet, are 

 in a bank near a firing rifing at Sommerton Towns end, Eaftward 

 from the Church, in the Lerdfiip of the Worfhipful Richard Fer- 

 mor Efq ? * whofe many ingenious Contrivances about his Houfe, 

 befide other afliftances he readily afforded me, have eminently 

 contributed to this Hiftory, as will more abundantly appear in the 

 Chapter of Arts. 



151. From theVpper, I defcend next to fuch formed ftones as 

 refemble any of the parts of the middle Ventricle-, or Thorax'. 

 whereof I met with fome on Stokgn-Church Hill., of a Flinty fub- 

 ftance, ftrangely like to human Paps, or Duggs ; having not only 

 the Mamma, but Papilla too, furrounded by an Areola, and ftud- 

 ded withfmall protuberances, as in Tab. 7, Fig. ult. and there- 

 fore well deferving the name of Mammillares : than which yet I 

 had once a much better pattern,unhappily loft in the portage, be- 

 twixt my Chamber and the Gravers. 



152. And if we look further into the inner parts, I have ifiont 

 that fo exquifitely reprefents the Heart of a Man, as \nTab. 8. 

 Fig. 1 . that at, and near the bafis, there remains the trunck of the 

 defcending part of the Vena Cava at a, the afcending portion of 

 the Vena Cava ztb ^ and from the left Ventricle the trunck of the 

 Arteria magna, tending upwards at c, and a portion of the fame 

 Artery tending downwards at d. This wasalfo found on the 

 Hills near Stolon-Church-, being a whitifti kind of Flint, and per- 

 haps may merit the name of Anthropocardites. Whereunto add 

 another found in the Gravel near Oxford, by my ingenious Friend 

 John Banisler M. A. of Magdalen College, which though not fo 

 exaftly of the shape of a Heart as the former, yet becaufe ftellated 

 all over from the bafis to the mucro, as in Fig. 2. 1 thought its 

 admittance would not be ungrateful to the Reader. 



153. Other/otftt there are alfo inlikenefs of fome parts of the 

 Abdomen or loweft Ventricle ; fuch are the slones, Vidymoides, found 

 in the Quarries of rubble ftone near Shotover-hil], having upon 

 it both the rugofity, and future of the Scrotum, And Phalloides, 

 which 1 met with near the Wind-mill at Nettlebed, perfectly re- 



prefenting.
