[85] Compare on this subject Nees v. Esenbeck’s Supplement to R. Brown’s Miscellaneous Botanical Writings, Book I. p. 571; and Ehrenberg’s New Observations on Blood-like Appearances in Egypt, Arabia, and Siberia, together with a review and critique on what was earlier known, in Poggendorff’s Annalen, 1830; the two best works on this subject; wherein is also contained a criticism on Chladni’s Hypermeteorological Views.
[86] Crusius is the most circumstantial on this point, for he gives the names of many persons on whose clothes crosses were visible. On a maiden’s shawl the instruments of Christ’s martyrdom were supposed to have been seen marked. In the vicinity of Biberach, a miller’s lad made rude sport of the painting of crosses, but he was seized and burned. Book II. p. 156.
