ways to do this while the flefli is hot Another very good method of entering hounds at the buck, is to take one in the toils, or nets, and wound one of his legs fo as to difable him from running either very fwift, or very far ; then let him loofe, and firft let a blood- hound trace the creature, then let loofe all the young hounds, and when they have run down the animal, reward them with the neck. Some enter their hounds within a toil, but this is a bad Way, for the hart being, in this cafe, always in fight, and not able to run an end, makes a great number of doubles and turnings : This is very different from the chaces they are to meet with afterwards ; and, when they find a hart run in the common way, ftrait forward, and out of fight, they will leave the chaee, as unlike that by which they were taught. It is obferved, that whatever animal the hounds are intended to be employed in hunting, it rnuft always be that animal that they are enter'd at ; for it is found, that they are always afterwards molt fond of that, whole flefli they were firft rewarded with. ENTRAVES, Entravms, in the manege. See Locks. ENTREPAS, in the manege, is a broken pace, or going, pro- perly a broken amble, that is neither walk nor trot, but has fomewhat of an amble. This is the pace, or gait, of fuch horfes as have no reins or backs, and go upon their fhoulders, or of fuch as are fpoilcd in their limbs. ENTR1CHOMA, m anatomy, the name of the outer edge of

the eyelid, on which the hairs grow. ENTRING a Ship, in the fea language, the fame with board- ing her. See the article Boarding. En I TilKC-Laeleler, in a fhip, is of two forts; one is ufed by the fhips fides, in a harbour, or in fair weather, for perfons to go in and out of the fhip ; the other is made of ropes, with fmall flaves for fteps, and is hung out of the galley to enter into the boat, or to come aboard the fhip from thence, when the fea runs fo high, that they dare not bring the boat to the fhip's fide, for fear of Having her.

ENTROCHUS, in natural hiftory, the name of agenusof foffils, of a very regular figure and ftru&ure, fuppofed, by many au- thors, to be lapides Jul generis, and ftones in their native ibte. They are, however, in reality, the foflile remains of fome marine animal, probably either of the echinus, or of the ftar-fifh kind, filled like the foflile fpecies of the echini, with a plated fpar. Our imperfect knowledge in the animal hiftory has not yet been able to afecrtain to what creature they really belong ; but their analogy with the other animal remains, found in the foflile world, plainly evince, that they are of that origin. They are cylindric columns, ufually about a inch in length, and are made up of a number of round joints, like fo many fmall wheels, or iegments of cylinders. Thefe joints, when found feparate, and natually loofe, as they fometimes are, are called trocbitx. They are all ftriated, from the cen- ter to the circumference, and have a cavity in their middle, which is fometimes found empty, but more frequently filled up with various matter, of the nature of the ftratum, in which they have lain, or of other of the native foffile fub- ftances.

The Entroebi are compofed of the fame fort of plated fpar with the afferae, and the fpines and fhells of the foflile echini; and this is in thefe ufually of a bluifh grey colour, and very bright and gloffy, where' frefh broken. They are fubjefl to accidental injuries, like the other extraneous foffilcs, which have been formed in animal moulds, and are frequently met with, compreffed, or crooked. Their joints are not all of the fame fize, even in the fame fpecies ; but, in the fame fpecimen, fome ufually fwell out much more, and are much larger, than the reft. I he middle cavities of the Entrochi are of no determinate, or certain fhape ; they are, in fome fpecies, petfeflly round, in others nearly, but not exaaiy of that fhape; and in many they are pentangular, or of ftellate figures of other numbers of angles, and referable the fhape of theafteria?. See Trochitje.

In many of the Entroebi alfo, a (light impreffion of a ftar is feen on each fide the joints, and the Entrochi of this kind are diftinguifhed, by fome authors, under the name of Entracbo ajierta. Moft frequently the joints of the Entroebi are fmooth, and the body even and fimple; but fometimes there appear, on feveral parts, the rudiments of appendages, or branches, in the manner of the wires of the afteris, but thefe feldom run to any great length. Hill's Hift. of Foflils, p. 633. That the Entroebi are of marine origin, is evident from this, that they have not unfrcquently fea fhells found adhering to them, and, when thefe are broken off, there remain on°the Entroebi no deficiencies, but the fhells themfelves fhew that they have been form'd upon, and have grown to the Entroebi, there being always natural hollows in them, to anfwer to that part of the Entrocbus from which they have been feparated ; whence it appears very plainly, that thefe Entroebi, however altered fince in their fubftance, were, however, exifting in their prefent fhape, in thole very feas where thefe fhells had their growth.

There are not tinfi equently found, among the Entroebi, larger or fmallcr fragments of plated bodies, which have

plainly been once a part of the animal to which the Entroebi belonged, thefe being fometimes found affixed to them in their natural poftures. Thefe fragments are always compofed of fmall flakes, of a convex or concave figure, laid in an imbricated manner over one another. The Germans call thefe bodies modioli ; but they are ever fo imperfect, that there can be no very probable conjecture founded on rhern, as to the nature of the body they have belonged to. Among the tro- chitse, and modioli, there is alfo not unfrequcntly found, what may be called the inner nucleus of the Entroebi ; this is a fub- ftance of ftony, fparry, or other mineral ftru£fure, which has once filled up the cavity of one of thefe bodies, and has fince that time, been left naked by the outer fubftance of the Entrocbus, having been deftroyed, or worn away : This is ex- actly the fame fort of foffil with the flinty echinitie, and other calls of ftone, made in the cavities of fhells, fince perifh'd. This might fometimes be eafily miftaken for a very different body from what it really is ; but, at other times, it carries more traces of its original figure, the rounded parts of the fe- veral joints of the Entrochus being only worn away. The entrocho afterise, as they are called, are fometimes plain Entroebi, with faintly ftellate ends; but, at others, they have fuch elegant flarry cavities and marks, with fuch precife and determinate angles, that they feem only to be afteria;, furrounded by fome foreign matter at every joint, and, by that, fhaped into roundnefs.

We meet with the Entroebi of all the fizes, from that of a pin's head to a finger's length, and the thickr.efs of ones mid- dle finger. They are, in fome places, found loofe upon ploughed lands, in others they are lodged in great quan- tities in the ftrata of clay, and very often in ftones of different kinds, and different hardnefs. The Derbyfhire marble is ex- tremely full of them, and owes its beauty, when polifhed, principally to them. Hi/MrlM. of Foff. p. 653. Some of the Yoikftiire Entroebi are fwelled or tumid in the middle, and go off tapering to each end, and fome otheis refemble the lapides judaici. Thefe, however, are true En- troebi : They are jointed in the fame manner with the r C {t, and confift of a fmall Ihlk, or pedicle, formed of three or four joints, and on this an oval body is placed, broken off at both ends. Some of thefe have alfo been the natural fum- nuts, orfaftigia of the bodies, for they have a little jointed button on the top, hollow, and not feeming to have been di- vided, or broken off from any thing elfe. Phil- Tranf. N°. xoo.

The hollows of the Entroebi are ufually filled up with earthy or ftony matter, but fometimes with another fmaller Enlro- ebus, fo that they refemble a pair of fcrews, one nicely fitted into the other, and the one making a fort of pith to the other, and having gone regularly through its whole length. The Entroebi poffefs all the medical virtues of other fparry petrifactions. See Spar, Belemnites. OstracitesI C9V. *

EntroChds PyramUn/k, a name given, by fom e cfthe writers in natural hiftory, to the ortho-ceratites, or tubulus mannus concameratus, a fpecies of fhell-fifh, not known to us in its recent ftate, but very common in the ftones brought over from Sweden for pavements. Klein, de Tubul. Marin. p. 7. See Tubulus Concameratus.

Entrochus Ramofus, in natural hiftory, the name of a foffile body, the feveral parts of which refemble the entrochi ; but as they are joined together in this body, when perfect, they fhew themielves in their proper light, and a fight of them, in this ftate, isfufficientto explode the opinion, advanced by fome perfons, of the entroebi being of a vegetable nature ; or, as they have pleafed to call them, rock plants This foffile has evidently once been a flella marina, or fea ftar-fifh, confifting of twenty rays, at the extremity of the body. The manner of infertion of thefe has been this : The body is of a pentagonal figure, and from this there have arifen five rays. Thefe, at their extremity, have been divaricated, each into two, fo as to make the number ten in the fecond progref- fion, and each of thefe laft being again divaricated into two at its extremity, the third and laft progreffion is of twenty rays. All this is eafily diftinguifhable in the foflile when per- fect, and feems to have been the whole figure of the animal while living. The prototype, or living animal, however, is not found ; but this is not an accident peculiar to this foflile, the cornua ammonis, and concha; anomia;, with many other bodies that have been once evidently fhell-fifh, being no where, at this time, found in their recent ftate, though fo very numerous in the foffile world. This remarkable foffils ftar-fifh is the body called, by fome authors, lilium hpicleum. Keppeler s Epift. ad Klein de Entrochis. Entrochorum Radix
