Since I have defcribed this Sea-Pen in the Philofophical 

 Tranfactions, it has been mentioned by fome curious per- 

 fons that have wrote on natural hiftory, that this Sea-Pen 

 had no bone in it ; but being fo fortunate, by the friend- 

 fhip of Thomas Pennant, Efq. F. R. S. as to have two 

 fpecimens, Dr. Solander, in order to be fatisfied of the 

 truth of the affertion, defired to diffecl: one of them, in 

 which we found a bone, as in the others.
