 over Forejl, as well as in Rivers, the Mytilmfluminum maximvsfub- 

 viridit, whereof 1 examined feveral in hopes of the Pearls to be 

 found in them, mention'd by Sir Hugh Plat in the Appendix to his 



Jexvel-houfe of Art and Nature 1 ', but I could not meet with any 

 with craggy rough cut fides, in which itfeems they are only found 

 Qours being all of them frnooth) and foloft my labor ; but I hear

 fwiming above water, dead and (linking, which whether to be 

 afcribed to the drought, or any other caufe , I am yet uncer-

 fhould rather be put under the title ofReptils ; whereof we have, 

 one fort met with in Cornbury Parkby Mr. Jacob B 'ob art junior, that 

 I find not defer i-bed in any of our Zoographers : in (hape (though 

 not fo big) like the Turbenmagnm of Rondelet , or the twelfth 

 Turbo of Aldrovandu* p , having a long Turbinated Jkell rough and 

 unequal, by reafon of many protuberant ribs thwarting the heli- 

 cal turns of the fiell, as in Tab. 10. Fig. 9. which was found a-
