Birch, History, vol. IV, p. 142, 12 April 1682 (O.S.) in London:
He [Hooke] also shewed in a microscope a very curious sort of sand, brought out of Italy, and different in shape from all the other sand ever seen by him, being very fine and white, and yet all the grains thereof were of some round or oval figure, and none angular, as all the sand in England is.
He shewed likewise part of a flesh muscle in a microscope; but the rimples mentioned by Mr. LEEWENHOECK could not be discovered, though examined by a very good microscope.
