Part I. 
Of Quadruped's. 
of the Ibexmas. In lhape almoit like a bended Crofs- 
bow. By the firing, l of a yard long; but by the 
bow , about an Eln. It was formerly tipp'd with 
filver, and kept in a Gentlemans houfe, and fhew’d (to 
fome fpecial Friends) for the Claw of a Griffin. See the 
figure hereof in Mofcardm s Mufaum. 
The HORNES of a WILD BULL; called Bu- 
balus five Buff aim. They are broad at the Roots, but 
grow very fharp of a fudden; and bended inwards about 
the middle ; fo that the Tips are not above two inches 
diflant. See the Animal defcrib’d in Bellonim , and others. 
He is much bigger than the European Bull. This kind 
breeds mod in Afia. But they are alfo kept in Italy, in 
their Cities. In India they fell the Milk of the Female about 
the ftreets, as they do Cows Milk here. The Leather call’d 
Buff, is made of the Hyde. Thefe Hornes were brought 
from Africa. 
The HORNES of the BUNCH-BAK’D BULL. 
Cornua Bifontk. This pair belongeth to that Species, which 
hath a great Maine. Thefe, contrary to the former, Hand 
wide, and efpecial upwards, their Tips being I an Eln 
dillant. See the Description of the Animal in Aldrovan- 
dm, his Picture in Johnfion. He is fwifter than any other 
Bull, and untameable. He breeds in Lithuania. To the 
homes is joyrid the fore-part of the skull, together with 
the skin, which is very thick and tough. The skin of any 
Bulls Forehead, either for its toughnefs, or other caufe, is 
the only part of the Hyde made ufe of by Homers, 
whereupon they fhave their Hornes (which they take out 
of a Tub of warm water by them) to fit them for Lamp- 
horns. 
The TAIL of an Indian COW. The Male is call'd 
Bonafus. The hairs hereof aregreyilh. Above a yard and 
i long. Yet almofl as foft and fine as a Womans. The 
Cow is faid to be worlhipped by the people that live near 
the River Ganges. 
A little STONE out of an Oxes Liver. Infcribed 
Tetraedrum inventum in Hepate Bovvs. But I find it broken 
into feveral pieces. It is juft of a liver-colour. And is 
compos'd, as the Bezoar Stone, of feveral crufls or foft fhells 
one over or within another.
