Alia Medica & Philofo/^jica Hafnienfiay of Thomas Bar 
tholine^ Vol. the 3d. pag. 87. the Figure of a Sea-InfeSi 
folind at Katwick'Up-Zee in HoSa»d upon the Strand^ 
and Communicated to the Publi(her by Oltgerm Jacohe- 
us , who gives it the Name of Vermis Aureus vel ffe* 
cies Eruc(e Marines rarior; which I am confident is the 
fame with the Scolopendra Marina e Mare HilernicOj&cc. 
in the Thilofophical Tranfailions ; tho' Bartholine's Fi- 
gure is Faulty , and the Defcription fliort, falfe, and 
imperfeft. 
And I am likewife^apt to think, th^tVlyjfes Aldro- 
vandus in his Lii. De Infeilis Cap. if. pag. 636* 
defjgn'd our Scolopendra by his firft Figure in that Chap- 
ter, where he calls it Scolopendra Marina lato corpore 
Julcaftaneo velut pedihus innumeris longiufculis aurei Co-- 
loris , and fays no more of it ; but his Icon is much 
worfe than Bartholine's^ and requires fome ftrength_ of 
Phanfy, to guefs whether or no our Scolopendra is 
meant by it. And though it has been taken n(itice of 
before , yet it may in feme fenfe pafs for a Non- 
Defcript, as I once thought it, the Accounts we have 
had hitherto of it, being fo very Lame and Imper- 
fed*.
