infide of a dark-Bay 5 from whence I name it. Held up 
againft the light, it looks like a deep Tincture of Safforn or 
Myrrh. The Seat of the Animal is rough with fmall 
fnzled or undulated Wrinkles, furrounded with a fmooth 
Margin, on one fide above ; an inch broad, after an odd 
fafhion turn’d or fpread outward, Convex inward, and 
entirely encompaffing the Navle of the fhell. Here are 
tliree or four fmaller Ones of the fame Species. 
A SHELL with the Bafe a little cover’d .OJlrea Bafi Cooper- 
ta. I find it not deferibed. It’s fomewhat doubtful whether a 
Limpet or an Oyfterjhell. I think the latter. The Navle Hands 
obliquely. But the fides make equal or fimilar lines from the 
Bafe. Somewhat above an inch in length, very Convex,the 
Margin oval. The Bafe is as it were (haded with a tranfverfe 
Plate U h of an inch broad. The infide, blew ; theoutfide 
fpeckled below with tawny and black fpots, above with 
white and purple, with very fmall lines running acrofs or 
Net-wife. 
The PLAIN ROUND ESCALLOP. Petten Valvis 
rotundis Is? aqualibus. 
The ROUND PURROW’D ESCALLOP, with fmooth 
Shells or Valves. 
Another of the fame fort, with rough (hells. 
The LONG ESCALLOP. Thefe and the other kinds 
feldom exceed the bignefs of the palm of the Hand. But 
Linfcholen (, a ) faith, That by Malacca are (hells found like 
Scallops , fo big, that two Prong men can hardly draw one 
of them, with a leaver, after them. Scallops will move fo 
ftrongly, as oftentimes to leap out of the Catcher wherein 
they are taken, (b) Their way of leaping or railing up 
themfelves, is, by forcing their under Valve againft the 
Body whereon they lie. (c) They are taken amongft other 
places, near Portland ', and at Purbec and S el fey, where they 
are excellent good. Rondeletius prefers them, for Meat, 
before Oyfiers. 
COKLE. V echoic ulus. Here are of thefe, both White, 
Red, and fpeckled with various Colours. 
The CORALLINE SCALLOP. Concha CoraUina. I 
call it a Scallop , becaufe it feems to be but another fort 
without ears. This is only wayed. See Rondeletius s De- 
fcripnon. He faith ’tis rarely found, and feldom, except
