Of Sheik 
Part I. 
A STAR-FISH with fix Rays or Arms. They are almoft 
like thofe of the fmooth Star-Fijh 5 excepting, that two of 
them are as ihort again as the reft. Whether a monftrous 
Production, or a diftindt Species , I cannot fay. 
A STAR-FISH with TWELVE RAYS ; 'by fome called 
Sun-Fifh. ’Twas taken in the Britijh- Sea. The Bafts of

the fame figure, but all over.

be the better judged, how far it is natural, or not, I fhall 
afterwards digeft them into Schemes. Moll of them are 
Strangers in England and the Britijh- Seas, and therefore I

The FROG-WILK. Murex Coracoides. Defcribed and 
pictur’d by Johifton out of others. As are alfo mod of 
thofe that follow, which are only named. It hath three 
Appendices on each fide, like fingers or feet, and one at the 
end. The
