a fair refemblance of the Cerebellum at a a, and of the Medulla 
oblongata at b b^ as is plainly reprefented in Tab, 7. Fig. 9. This

the proper colour of the ftone^ and then a round pupilla of white, 
in the whole refembling the figure of an Eye obfcured by a Cata-

is of a reddifli colour, in which yet it carrycth the form of an 
Eye both for white and black ; And fo do's ours, only it wants 
the black Pupilla^ which we muft fuppofe to be covered by a Ca^
