Leg and Foot of a Man cut off above the ande^ as in Tab,^. Fig. 6, 
which from the toe to the heel is about a yard long., and per- 
haps in the whole may weigh 50 or 60 pounds .* But I take not 
this for a petrification as the former, but a ftone formed in this

thofe bones : And the other in the ftiape of the heelo^ an old Jhoo^
