1 17. Apis mellifera \ The Common Bee. 
The Egyptian Bee-hives are very fingular in 
their kind. They are made of coal dull and clay, 
which being well blended together, they form of 
the mixture a hollow cylinder, of a fpan diameter, 
and as long as they pleafe, from fix to twelve feet: 
this is dried in the fun, and becomes fo hard, that it 
may be handled at will. I faw fome thoufand of 
thefe hives, at a village between Damiata and Man- 
fora ; they compofed a wall round a houfe, afte f 
having become unferviceable in the ufe they were 
fir 11 made for.
