142. After thofe that concern Reptils^ come we next to form- 
ed ftones that refemble the parts of four footed heafJs^ whereof we 
meet with one fort in the Quarries at Heddington^ fet in the body 
of the^o;2f, the moftlike to the head of a Horfe of any tiling I 
can think of ; having the ears, and crcfl- of the mane appearing 
between them, the places of iht eyes {u'ltMy j?rominenr, and the 
reft of the face entire, only the mouth and nnflrih are abfent in 
them all, as in Tab.j. Fig.i. Thefe are plentifully enough found, 
and of divers cizes, yet not mentioned that I knov^^ of by any 
Author^ wherefore 1 have taken the boldnefs to fit them with a 
name, and in imitation of other Authors (in the like cafe) llrall 
call them Hippocephaloides. 
143. At Heddington in the fame Quarry there are plenty of 
Cardites^ or flones in the forms of hearts^ but by Juthors^ bccaufe 
of their bignefs, generally called 5z/(r(?r^//7e5, or ftones like Bulls 
hearts. Thefe at Heddington are all of them of a whitifti yellow 
colour, fmooth and plain, asin^^^. 7. Fig. 2. but there are o- 
thers found about Brife-Nortonznd Witney^ that feem to be ribbed 
on each fide, as in Fig 3. Of thefe 1 had one fent me by my 
worthy Friend Robert Perrot Efq; from North-Leigh^ ten inches 
round, and near two pounds in weight, which is the biggeft of 
the kind thatl ever yet faw, except one that I found at Shetford^ 
going up a little hill caft- ward of the town^ about 20 pounds in 
weight, though broken half away, curiouily reticulated with a 
white-fpar-colour'd flone^ as mTab, 7. Fig. 4. which being 
much too heavy for my Horfe-portage, was afterward upon my 
direftion,fetch'd away by that miracle of Ingenuity Anthony 
Cope, iince whofe deceafe it is come I fuppofe into the hands of 
his equally ingenious Brother Sir ^ohn Cope., the Heir of his Vir- 
tues as well as Eftate. 
1 44. To thefe add the Orchites-, or Lapides tefiiculares^ that lie 
at the foot of Shotover-\\\][., which though indeed they extrava- 
gantly exceed thofe parts as V7ell of beafs as men^ yet of the two 
1 rather thought fit to place them here : Moil of them lie in pairs 
coupled together, as in Tab. 7. Fig. 6. and are called Diorchites ; 
but fomcimes (as it alfo falls out in monftrous^;?i777^/5) there arc 
three of them found together, and then we call t\\tmt,iorchites^ 
whereof there are two or three on the foot of the fame Hill of fo
