IB. 3. 
The Defci 
1 A Lthough Corrall be a matter or fubftance, euen as hard as ftones-yet I thinke it nor a- 
r^mifle to place and infert it here next vnto the mofles,and the rather for that the kindes 
thereof do (lrevv themfelues.as well in the manerof their growing, as in their place and 
forme, like vnto the Modes. This later age wherein we liue,hath found moe kindes hereof than encr 
were knovvne or mentioned among the old writers. Some of thefe Corrals grow in the I ikenc fir of 
a ihrub or ftony matter 5 others in a ftraightforme.with crags and ioints, fuch as we feeby ex peri- 
ence : the which for that they are (o well knowne,and in inch requeft for Phyficke, I will nor ftand 
to defcribe ; only this remember, that there is fome Corrall of a pale yellow colour ’as there be feme 
red,and fomewhite. 
2 The blacke Corrall groiveth vpon the rocks neere to the fea about Maffiliajn manner of the 
former; herein differing from it, in that this is ofa drilling blacke colour, and very finooth grow- 
ing vp rather like a tree, than like a fhrub 
? The white Corrall is like t o the former, growing vpon the rocks neere the fea, and in the We ft 
parts of England, about Saint Michaels mount;but the branches hereof are fmaller and more brir 
tie, finelier d ifperfed into a number ofbranches, of a white colour. ° The
