Of thefe figured plates 1 find fo great variety in theRocks, 
both as to the number of Angles and other beautiful Orna-

not be amifi, fince they roanifeftly belong,as parts, to the a- 
bove defcribed ftoncs, to enumerate them, at leaft, as many

defcribed ftones:But I find the grcateft parcof them broken 
up and heaped together in great confufion in the Rocks. And 
it will be as hard to fet them together, as to skill to tell you, 
what the figure of an intire Entrochos ( or the ftone to which 
all the above defcribed parts feem to belong) is : But we will 
omit no part, that we can juftly fay belongs unto it. We fliali
