2^ In this one piece of meat I reckoned di&lnddy above 
twenty fevera! places that did all of them fliine, though oot 
all of them alike ^ fome of them doing it but very 
faintly* 
3. The bigoefs of thefe Lucid parts was differing e- 
noughj fome of them being as big as the nail of a mans 
middle finger, fome few biggerj and moft of them Ids. 
Nor were there figures at all more uniform^, fome being 
inclined to a round, others almoft oval^ but the greateft 
part of them very irregularly fhap'd. 
4> The parts thatihone raoft^ which *twas not fo eafie 
to determine in the dark, were feme griftiy or foft parts 
of the bonesa where the Butcher's Cleaver had paffed | 
but thefe were not the only parts that were luminous 5 for

a part of that aUo did not ihine ill ; And I perceived one 
place in a Tendon to afford fome light ; and laftly three or 
four fpots in the flefhy parts at a good diftacce from the 
bones were plainly difcovered by their own lightj though 
that were fainter than in the parts above mentio-

they made a very fplendid fhew 5 but 'twas not fo eaficj 
becaufe of the moiftnefs and groiTnefs of the lump of mat- 
terj to examine the degree of their Luminoufnefs, as it is 
to eftimate that of GlowormSj which being fmail and dry 
bodies may be conveniently laid in a book^ and made to 
move from one letter or word to another. But by good 
fortune having by me the eurious TranfiUions of this 
monthj 1 was able fo to apply that flexible paper to fome 
of the more refplendent fpots, that I could plainly read 
divers conlecutive letters of the Title. 
6. The Colour that accompanied the light was not in all 
the fame, but in thofe which Ihone livelieft^ it feemed to 
have fuch a fine Greenifh blew, as i have divers times ob? 
ferved in the tails of Gloworms.
