40 Of Quadruped's. Part I. 
Barbad 1 ' ^ ee ^ £ reat c ^ C2iC Y attributed hereto by Ligon, (a) in 
p 4 1 1 8 curing him of two Fits of the Stone. 
An EGG of a SEA-TORTOISE, 'tis very 
white, and Spherical, which I find no Author diftinctly 
to fay, but only to be like the Eggs of Fowls. About the 
bignefs of an Hand-Ball. The fhell rather thinner and fofter 
than of a Hen s. She lays them in the fand,where they lie till 
they are hatch' d. Sometimes above a hundred at a breed. 
The CHAMELEON. By Wormius well defcribed. 
Jobnftoris Figure, efpecially as to the feet, very falfe. A moft 
curious one in Calceolarias. As alfo in BeJIer, faving that 
his eyes are drawn fomewhat too little. Of the skin it may 
be noted, that 'tis every where rough, as it were, with little 
round blifters or knobs 3 on his Head and Back, greater 5 
on his Legs, Sides and Belly, leffer 3 of the bignefs of Silk- 
worms Eggs. As alfo, that his hinder Feet are thicker than 
the fore-Feet : and the Heels or hinder Toes as long again, 
as the other 3 whereas in the fore-Feet, they are all of a 
length. The fhape of his hinder Feet is therefore the better 
fitted to affift him in the climbing of Trees 5 the Heels be- 
ing like ftrong Leavers to hoift him up. And the make of 
his Skin, for the changeablenefs of his Colours 3 which 
feems to depend on the falling or fwelling of the faid 
Knobs 3 whereby the light, receiving different Reflections, 
produceth different Colours. Of his Colours, faith Sca- 
(b) Exercit. fcger, (b) from the Obfervation of Job. Landius, it is not 
ipd.Seft. 4. f 0 p r0 p er jy that they are chang'd, but only the feveral 
Species highten d or deepen d. He hath a long Tail, as a 
jus Panar0 " Lizard,but llenderer : which,(c) as he defcends from a Tree, 
he laps round about the Boughs,to keep himfelf from fall- 
ing.His Feet alfo are all made where with to take fad hold. 
Of the inward Parts, fee the Pbilof. Tranf. N. 42 . But 
efpecially Dominicus Pa?iarolws, who together with his Me- 
dicinal Obfervations, hath publifhed the Defcription and 
Anatomy hereof. Amongft other particulars, the Muf- 
cular Membrane of the Eye, by which fingly all thofe 
motions are performed, which in other Animals require 
fix, and in fome feven Mufcules, is remarkable. As alfo 
the diftincl continuation of the Optique Nerves from their 
Original to each Eye 3 whereby the uniform or conjunct 
motion of both his Eyes is not neceffary \ as in other 
Creatures ;
