VIII. Some Amendments and Additions to the Ac- 
count of Things found under Ground in Lincoln- 
{hire, in the Tranfadions o/May and June, 
An. Dom. 1702, Numb. 279. Sed. 4, 5. 
Mr. Ralph Thoresby, F. ^ S. 
W HEREAS in the Paper aforefaid, pag» 1157. 
lin. 55. and pag, 1158. lin. 15, 16. there 
is feme Difference betwixt the Accounts of the Depth 
of the Things found ^ that in the Letter, SeB. 5, ac- 
counting it to be about 8 or 10 Foot, and that in the 
Letter, SeB. 4. to be ix or 14 Foot deep *, the Reader 
may pleafe to underftand, that the Depth was not 
meafur'd, but conjeffur’d, and accounted for according 
to the Relator’s bell: Remembrance. That which makes 
the Depth the greater being that of SeB. 4. (tirll: pla- 
ced, but laft wrote) was wrote upon Information (but 
by Conjeffure alfo) of another that lived near the Place, 
and view’d it often. But the Difference may ealily be 
accommodated or falved, by fuppoling (which will not 
be far from Truth) that when the Labourers or Di- 
kers firft difeovered and encountred the Jetties and o- 
ther Things there found, it might be about the Depth 
of 8 or 10 Foot', but the Bottom of them, when they 
came to be all taken up, might be at the Depth of a- 
bout IX or 14 Foot, as in the other Relation. 
Take notice alfo, concerning what is faid pag. 1159. 
I'm. 14. that fome, and thofe very judicious Perfons, 
fay, that the Stones which the Spedators faw at the 
Bot&oin of Hammon Beckj were Rich as the Dikers had
