bloolcijh on tho ontfdo, fromwhence rife updinall,
round, long, white, hairy Heads, breaking out at the
Iides as it were into Branches, , on the tops thIeOf
hand or grow three or four very long and narrow
1th green Leaves, fome being an El] or more, long,
and about an Inch broad, this has neither Seed nor
Stalk, but lies on the Ground, until the Tide raife
it to float on the Water, which being broken by the
force of the Waves is carried to the Shoat, where it
is gathered and kept for many ufes.
V. Thofrcoizd, or Thick Broad Leaved Alga, Kelp,
or SeaGirdles. This-mm from tho ’fbrin‘er, in Hunt
the Root is wholly [ihromg the Stalk rifng from thence
thiclc and TUIIIIJ,'IWU or three; Intim- high, and the
Leaf, which is fometimes but one, and leldom two,
ofa very great length, even divers Feet, or rather
Yards or, Ells long, and above :fbur Inches broad,
equal from a little above the fetting on to the'end,‘
but fomewhat Waived and crumpled on the edges,
being thick, and ofa deep green color, fo foft and
moilt while it is f‘tefh, that it is .like (unto moili
Glew or Gelly, and will hardly dry, unlefs it lies
long in the Sun; and will not be lit to be kept with-
out rotting until after itrhas been man ‘days dried.

VII.) The fourth, or Winged Alga, Kel , or Sea-
Glrdle. 'Iht's grow: fofi upon Starter, and) hell: of
m-the doepcr antljhollowor placer oftho
a round, dark, reddifh Stalk, of the big-
nefsofo Goofe Quill, which being grown to the full
length 15 Yer! weak, lying on the Ground, unlefs the
1 Water rarii: 1t, and a out four Feetlong, on etch
' fide of which grows :1 Wing all the whole length of
it, like unto a Skin or Parchment, with Veins there:
tn, which being like the Feathers of an Arrow, is
fmall below and broader above, equally to the top,
oftwo or,three Inches breadth; the Leaves which
grow next the Ground are many, (and fome grow
alfo on the Stalk) of a yellower gteenifh-color,‘ and
ofan Hand breadth, being four, fix, or eight Inches
long,.tough and pliable, .orof‘ a skinny fubftancc,
like unto the other Girdle: 5. the Stalk does very well
refemblea two edged Sword: this Kind of Alga or
Kelp is ufed to be drellbd and eaten by the Inhabi‘
terms of the Sea Coulis where it- grows,.after it is
cleared from the skinn Wings, and has a little'
liveet talie with its fa tnefs, which makes it the
more acceptable to the Palate. ‘ . ‘ ,
NHL The fifth, or Great Alga, or Kelp, ‘or Sea-
Girdles with Labels or Hangers on. The monnorof
growing of this with it: it]: lJ' like the lojt‘, but this
i: the ground? of all the]: Seaweeds, having a Stalk
or thick (u that of Angelica, of-‘o brown Cheilnut
(blur on the outjt'dc, and -fo or: the round, Loaves
likewifo, which are fornotirnor fur, five, or fix Fm
long, not being jb thick (1.! one: little Finger, ond
ending in fcvcrol brood and jhort :kinny Lohelr, in
like manner a the lower part ofth: Sword Hangcrr,
which are of a )‘ellowijh color. , . .
IX. 1714;, fourth and jftheKinilr Johnibn upon
Gerard In: tho: dcjirilzod. , T his Seaweed has a va-,
rious Face, for fometimes from a fibrous Root, which
commonly-grows to a Pibble Stone, or is faltned to
a Rock, it fends forth a round Stalk,4fcldom [‘0 thick
as ones little Finger, and about half a Poor in length,
at the top of which grows out a fingle Leaf, fortie-
times an Ell long, and then it is about the breadth
of ones Hand, ending in a [harp point, f0 that it
very well refembles a two edged Sword; fometimes
from the fame Root come forth two fuch faihioned
Leaves, but then commonly they are Vlellbt; Rime-
times atthe top of the Stalk it divides it felf into
eight, nine, ten, or twelve parts, .more or lefs, and
that juit at the top of the Stalk, which leil"er divifr-
ons never come to that length which the tingle
Leaves do, this I judge to be the Form- Polyfchidu ’
Brmhini : now that thefe two Varieties are not feve-
tal Kinds I am certain, at Margot: in Kent, "where
they grow, they call them Sea-Girdlor, which Name
well befits the tingle one, and the divided they call
Son-Hangorr, for if you hang the tops downwards
they do reafonably well refembl‘e the old fafhioned
Sword Hangers; thus much for, their Shapez' now
for their Color, which is not the fame in all, fome .
are more green, and thefe can fcarcely be dried, o-
thers are whitiih, and they, do quickly dry, and then
both in Color and Subllance are fo like Parchment,
that fuch as knowthem not would at the fitft view
take them to be nothing elfe; this isofa glutinous
fubl’rance, and ofa little faltiih tulle, and are faid
to be good Meat being boiled tender, and focatcn
with Butter, Vinegar, and Pepper. , , .v .
X. The jixth, or Long, Narrow, and, Thick Al-
ga, Kelp, or Sea-Girdles. Tho Root hereofi: ram!
and flat, from whence [ping two or three [Idrl‘qw

and narroweriLeaves, the Stalks ending all in fwoln
points. 'fohnfim upon Gerard has a better Defcrip-
tion hereoh- via This grows to the length of-hre
‘0: fix Feet,’ is fmooth'and membranous, being about
halfa Fingers breadth, and varioufly divided,3hke

fort luslong-‘and fiat Stalks, "like, the “Perth“:
the Stalks fare thick, and:fet>w1m fwoln knots or,
Bladders, out of which grow fometimes little Leaves,
but in other telchls it is not unlike the former;
