Of Petrify d Plants. Part Ilf, 
Lignous Fibers,or the warp: and thofe which are tranfverfly 
as it were interwoven; to the Parenchymous Fibers, or 
Woofe of a Plant. A more particular explication of which 
real Work. in all Plants, hath been by me ellewhere given, (a) 
Calceolarias hath one or two of thefe Iaft fairly figur’d. 
A Stone with the exadt fignature of a STEM of PO¬ 
LYPODY with the LEAVES. Tis foftiih, and fomewhac 
brown. Stirreth not with Acids. 
HIPPURITES. Or a Stone with the imprefled Image or 
fignature of the Equijetum or HORSETAIL. There .are 
three ftalks which very elegantly rife up from one Root. 
DENDRITES. Or a Flint naturally adorned with the 
Images of feveral epitomiz’d or minute TREES. There is 
the figure of a fair one like to this in Calceolaria* s Mu- 
fa: um. 
ANOTHER; being a SLATE about I d of an inch thick, 
reprefenting, as it were, a plain Field, inclofcd with a

ihews the way fometimes of taking Lanjhips) upon a 
Tablet in a Dark Room. 
It is very obfervable, That the fame curious Work which 
appears upon one fide of the Hate, doth alfo on the other. 
Agreeable to what Ambrofinus ( b) alfo remarques, That if 
this fort of Stones be broken into feveral pieces, the like 
Work will appear in the intimate parts. Which plainly 
demonftrates, that not being fuperficial, it cannot be the 
effect of Art. 
DENDROPOTAMITES. Sol call it. Tisa piece of a 
kind of Alabafter, about feven or eight inches fquare, po- 
lifh’d and fet m a Frame. It hath much and pleating varie¬ 
ty both in colour and figure: (hewing a mixture of brown, 
tawny, white, and green; and not unaptly refembling a 
couple of Rivers. One crooked or very much winding too 
and fro; (as the Thames at Kingftone) and garbed all along 
with Trees upon the Bank. The other ftrait, with a Foot- 
walf upon die Bank, and inclofcd alfo with a little Hedge- 
Row. 
A fort of ALABASTRITES, reprefenting a Tranfverfe 
Section of the TRUNK of a TREE. That part anfwering
