Wyers in the middle of z deep- jointed piece. One thin-jointed 
piece I have by mc, where a Wyer of 20 joints and upwards (and 
how much longer they may be, I know not, ) lyes double within 
the hollow lide, and by that accident was preferved in its natural 
place. Further, fome lumps of Qgarry I have from the fame place 
above-nam*d, where the Wyers as well as the Stones themfelves are 
feen in long pieces, ft is no wonder, that thefe Wyers are knock- 
ed off, and but very rarely found adhering to the Scones they belong 
to, being very fmall and (lender, of a round figure and fmooth- 
jointed, hdng Cett tog^th^r per h^irmomam and not indented fu- 
ture. Nothing that I can think of, is fo like thefe Wyers, as the 
a,nt€nn£ of Lobfters. Laft'y, fome of thefe Wyers are knotted, 
and others of them fairly fubdivided or branched.
