pz The Statural Hijlory 
33. From that of Fig. 12. found in the Fields about Ifley^ 
whofe rajs like thofe of the Polar /lones^ are made of double 
ranks of tranfverfe lines^ whereof the outermoft are much the 
longer, and extended likewife to the rim of the fione ; its fub- 
ftance alfo like that fcems to be a yellow rubble, but not cafcd that 
I can perceive with any fuch laminated ^uh^znct^ox: adorned with 
Annulets^ yet the Z^m^i/ic^ of fome of them, is more beautiful 
than theirs, it being fomtimes divided and foliated like a Rojl, 
And fo much for the Brontidt depreffed on their hafes, 
35. Let us now proceed to others of a more elevated kind, 
whereof thofe exprelTed Fig. 13* found fomwhere in the ChiU 
tern^ by the Country people called commonly Cap-fiones^ from 
their likenefs to a Cap laced down the fides, are of any the mod 
uniform. For t\\t centers of thefe, both at the top and bottom, 
arc on all hands equidiftant from the rim the Jlone^ and the 
rajs interceding the centers being alfo equidiftant, cut it exaftly 
into five equal parts ; which in none of the former,nor thofe that 
are to follow, either by reafon of their (liape, or excentricity of 
their Modioli^ can poffibly be found. The rajs of thefe are made 
of two rows of points fet pretty deep in the body of the ftone, 
out of which you are to fuppofe, according to Aldrovandm (who 
rcfembles this Jione toa difarmed Echinus^ proceeded the prickles 
that Animal is fenced with. 
36. As alfo that other fom what of an oz/j/form, Tab.2.FigA/^^. 
whofe ce;2/er correfponds with the figure of thejlone^ and is not 
concluded within the rajs^ as in the former, but is extended in a 
ridge to the rim of it : from which center there defcend as it 
were double rajs^ made up of two double fets of points ; which, 
expanding themfelves as they draw toward the rf7>7,at about mid- 
way are furrounded with fingle Annulets, which each of them 
includ ing two points apiece, are therefore all of an oval Figure. 
Its fubftance within is z black Flint, though without it appear of 
a cinereous colour, and was found in the Fields between Ewelm 
and Brighti^elL 
37. At Fjrton I met with another of thefe, a black Flint with- 
in, and cinereous without, of oval figure and center like the for- 
mer , but the defcending rajs fx om it of a quite different 
kind : for whereas they were made of points hollow and deep., 
thefe on the contrary are all prominent ; and whereas they de- 
fcended
