dity fie found Two Years ago ; viz. One Hundred and 
Fifty Pound Weight dsrfhed on the Shoar at a Place in 
thele Parts called Amhergriefe Pointy where the Spa-

vaft Quantity was divided in Two Parts,* fuppofed by 
rolling and tumbling in the Sea ; but that which 1 have 
to inform you, \s the Way how 'tis produced ; viz. from 
a Creature, as Honey or Silk ; for I faw in fundry Places 
of this Body, the Beaks, Wings, and part of the Body 
of the Creature w hichlprefervedfome time by me, and 
this ignorant Feiiow (tor fo you would term him if you 
knew all) has Teen the Creature alive ; and he adds, 
That he believes they fwarm as Bees, on the Sea-Shore 
or in the Sea. This account is very different from what

take of Brimftone^ and both very much magnify 'd 
for the Endemick Difeafes of thefe Parts, the dry Beliy- 
aeh, Pains of the Nerves, and Yaws.
