40 Of Quadruped's. Part I. 
Bad™‘ ^ ‘ t ’ cc r ^ e great efficacy attributed hereto by Ligon, (a) m 
P ., 18." curing him of two Fits of the Stone, 
An EGG of a SEA-TORTOISE. Tis very 
• white, and Spherical , which I find no Author diftinCtly 
to fay, but only to be like the Eggs of Fowls. About the 
bignefs of an Hand-Ball. The fhell rather thinner and fofter 
than of a Hen’s. She lays them in the fand,where they lie till 
they arc hatch’d. Sometimes above a hundred at a breed. 
1 he C H A M IE L E O N. By Wormius well deferibed, 
JohnJloris Figure, efpecially as to the feet, very falfe. A moll 
curb as one in Calceolarim. As alfo mBejler , having that 
his tj es are drawn fomewhat too little. Of the skin it may 
be noted, that ’tis everywhere rough, as it were, with little 
round bliflers or knobs 5 on his Head and Back, greater ■ 
on his Legs, Sides and Belly, Idler 5 of the bignefs "of Silk¬ 
worms Eggs. As alfo, that his hinder Feet are thicker than 
the fore-Feet: and the Heels or hinder Toes as long again, 
as the other 5 whereas in the fore-Feet, they are all of a 
length. The fhape of his hinder Feet 11 herefore the better 
fitted to affift him in the climbing of Trees ; the Heels be¬ 
ing like ftrong Leavers to hoifl him up. And the make of 
his Skin, for the changeablenefs of his Colours; which 
feems to depend on the falling or fwellmg of the faid 
Knobs; whereby the light, receiving different Reflections, 
produceth different Colours. Of his Colours, faith Sca- 
tiger, (b) from the Obfervation of Job. Landius, it is not 
19 ‘ ~ + ' fo properly faid, that they are chang’d, but only the fevcral 
Species 1 lighten’d or deepen’d. He hath a long Tail, as ft 
no Panaro- u^ a rd,but flendcrcr: which, (c) as he defeends from a Tree, 
he laps round about the Boughs,to keep himfelf from fall- 
ing.His Feet alfo are all made where with to take fait hold. 
Of the inward Parts, fee the Pbilof Tranf N. 49. But 
efpecially Dominicus Panarolus , who together with his Me¬ 
dicinal Obfervations, hath publifhed the Defcription and 
Anatomy hereof. Amongft other particulars, the Muf- 
cular Membrane of the Eye, by which fingly all thofe 
motions are perform’d, which in other Animals require 
fix, and in fome feven Mufcules, is remarkable. As aifo 
the diftinCt continuation of theOptique Nerves from their 
Original to each Eye ; whereby the uniform or conjunct 
motion of both his Eyes is not neceffary, as in other 
Creatures;
