 of Sandwich, where it is not uncommon, of a much fu- 

 perior fize to thofe found on other parts of our coafts ; 

 meafuring five-eighths in length, and one inch in breadth : 

 whereas thofe on the Dorfctjhire coaft are ftill fmaller by- 

 Doftor Pulteney's account, who fays they have been 

 found on the beach at Studland. 



It is alfo found on the fouth coaft oi Wales, particularly 

 near Tenby ; but we have never met with it more plen- 

 tiful than in the fand heaps about Kingsbridge in Devon- 

 Jliire, which is brought from Salcomb bay, for the purpofe 

 of manure.
