Marble, its inner edge toothed, and fpread outward almoft 
as far as the Navle of the fhell 5 from whence I have 
nam 'd it. The Turban is low and almoft flat. It maketh 
fcarce more than two rounds,which therefore immediately 
run from great to fmall. On the outride 'tis ruged wjf h 
tranfverfe wrinkles, and fpeckkd with red and black fpots 
upon white.

or the like, into their Mouths, they yield a Crimfon
