Beads and Men, in Flints. Sep alius hath a Head in Mar- 
MOiGyns fri^ And Mr. Boyle (a) a Pebble with a Serpent (all but 
p * I5<5 ' the Head ) perfectly fhap d, and coyPd up in it. All thefe 
( except perhaps the laft ) are either femblances on a Plain, 
or at leaft in folid Stones. But this here is hollow, and 
was fo found in the Ijland-Sea. About five inches long 5 
now fplit into two halfs, like thofe of a calling Mould. 
On the infides of which, are fairly imprefs'd the form of 
the Spine, with the Ribs, Fins, and Tail, of a Fifh. With- 
out, a long Plate of the fame, fubftance, grows to each 
fide 5 and others crofs to thefe : as if to the Mould of the 
Fifh, were alfo added that of its Funeral Cloaths. 
This Stone, for confidence , is like that called Saxum 
Limofum, foft, inequal, and unpolifhable. Of a blewilh 
hue, like that of Tobacco-? ipe Clay, with fome very fmall 
gloffy Grains intermixed.' Not only Spirit of Nitre, but 
Oil of Vitriol droped upon it, diffolves it, and is excited 
into a violent Eflervefcence. But the Saxum Limofum ftirs 
not with any Acid. So that it is to be rank'd amongft the 
Gypfo-limofa, or Calcilimofa.

with Acids. It breaks flaky , as the Lapis Judaicws, and 
many others, or with plain and glolTy fides. 
The TOOTH of a TIGER,growing to a kind of Lime- 
ftone. 'Tis about as big as that defcribed in the Firft Part, 
and of the fame fhape and colour. 
A fquare crooked TOOTH, not much unlike that of 
a Bevir. 
A very great DOUBLE TOOTH or GRINDER. Tis 
about five inches long, and two broad 3 twice as big as a 
Sea-Horfes. The flumps feem to have been faw'd off. The 
top divided into feveral Points and Ridges, as other double 
Teeth. Of a greyifh colour and glofly 3 ponderous, and 
hard as a Flint or the hardeft Pebble. 
ANOTHER of the fame fhape, but not an inch long. 
Bejler hath one like this, under the Name of Pfeudocorona 
Anguina. The
