told him by a very Eminent Man_ (19.) _But the strange Instances afforded by such as are Bit by the_ Tarantula _are omitted, as more properly deliver'd in another place_. (20.) Chap. 3. _That the Colour of Bodies depends chiefly on the disposition of the Superficial parts, and partly upon the Variety of the Texture of the Object_ (21.) _The former of these are confirm'd by several Persons_ (22.) _and two Instances, the first of the Steel mention'd before, the second of melted Lead_ (23, 24.) _of which last several Observables are noted_ (25.) _A third Instance is added of the Porousness of the appearing smooth Surface of Cork_ (26, 27.) _And that the same kind of Porousness may be also in the other Colour'd Bodies; And of what kind of Figures, the Superficial reflecting Particles of them may be_ (28.) _and of what Bulks, and closeness of Position_ (29.) _How much these may conduce to the Generation of Colour instanc'd in the Whiteness of Froth, and in the mixtures of Dry colour'd Powders_ (30.) _A further explication of the Variety that may be in the Superficial parts of Colour'd Bodies, that may cause that Effect, by an example drawn from the Surface of the Earth_ (31.) _An Apology for that gross Comparison_ (32.) _That the appearances of the Superficial asperities may be Varied from the position of the Eye, and several Instances given of such appearances_ (33, 34, 35.) _That the appearance of the Superficial particles may be Varied also by their Motion, confirm'd by an Instance of the smoaking Liquor_ (35.) _especially if the Superficial parts be of such a Nature as to appear divers in several Postures, explain'd by the variety of Colours exhibited by the shaken Leaves of some Plants_ (36.) _and by changeable Taffities_ (37, 38, 39.) _The Authors wish that the Variety of Colours in Mother of Pearl were examin'd with a_ Microscope (40.) _And his Conjectures, that possibly good_ Microscopes _might discover those Superficial inequalities to be Real, which we now only imagine with his reasons drawn partly from the Discoveries of the_ Telescope, _and_ Microscope (41.) _And partly also from the Prodigiously strange example of a Blind man that could feel Colours_ (42.) _whose History is Related_ (43, 44, 45.) _The Authors conjecture and thoughts of it_ (46, 47, 48, 49.) _and several Conclusions and Corollaries drawn from it about the Nature of Blackness and Black Bodies_ (50, 51, 52.) _and about the Asperities of several oth
