74. And fo was the next flone in form of a Pe^unciihi^^ or 
little Efcallop^ Fig. 12. of a whitiili yellow colour, the firic£ 
large and broad, but the tranfuerfe lines fmall, eared like the for- 
mer on both fides : Which alfo argues, that this ftone was never 
heretofore the iliell of a Fidi, and thus caO: into ftone by an Ani- 
mal moid. For the Fe6lunculi^ fays Ronddetiiis are a diftinft 
(pedes from the Felines or larger Efiallops^ and never have ears 
but on one fide, which indifferently are either on the right or left ; 
except that we fliall fay that this was once the (liell of a young 
Te5ien^ not yet come to its full growth. 
75. To this alf3 may be referred another the fame texture, 
only fom.what bigger, and wanting the e^^r^ of ^ Fe^unculites^ or 
YihIq Efcallop-Jione^ Fig. 13. which becaufe it fnews no figns of 
its ears being broken off, I fuppofe may either reprefent the Cha~ 
ma flriata F e^iniformi^ of Aldrovandm or elfe the Fe^Iunculii^ of 
Belloniips-) which (as quoted by the Zoographer Gefner °) he not 
only fays has no ears, but has exhibited it in Sculpture.

fliall rather make it the firft of the Conchites firiati^ or ftreaked 
Cockje ftones^ which indeed I cannot chufe but aifent too, becaufe 
of its bearing too much on one fide, which I find the FeSiinites 
or Efcallop ftones do not : and becaufe it cannot be a TeUinites^ 
which (liell-fidi (if at all) is never ftreaked that way. Let it 
therefore pafs only for a ftreaked Cockle flone^ which are plenti- 
fully found not only ditHeddington^ and about ^/'oZ-oz/er, but in 
the Quarries near Stunsfield^ North Leigh^ and Little Milton ; and 
are placed here, becaufe found like the Efcallop ftones^ always with 
their fliels apart.

on one another, as in Tab. 4. Fig- 15 ; and others fingle, as in 
Fig. I 7. The real J/jell-fiJhof which kind, called Conchylia flria- 
ta^ though thus lineated without, are always, fays Aldrovandm^ ^ 
plain and fmooth within, contrary to what we find in thefe Con- 
chites ftriati^ as is ftiewn by Fig. 1 6. which shews the in-fide of 
one of thofe ftones, not only lineated from the commifure to the 
rim, but adorned alfo with four or five tranfuerfe fillets^ not made 
of oncj but feveralconjoyned lines, which feems alfo to conclude
