Note 2020 — BOOK VIII. THE NATURE OF THE TERRESTRIAL ANIMALS. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
“Sororiculata;” there is much uncertainty respecting the derivation of this word and its meaning, but it is generally supposed to signify some kind of stuff, composed of a mixture of different ingredients or of different colours.—B. “Orbiculata,” “with round spots,” is one reading, and probably the correct one.
