• 1840 C.E., Richard Hartley Kennedy, Narrative of the Campaign of the Army of the Indus, Richard Bentley; Volume I of II, Chapter V, page #105:

  The manufactures of Tatta are languidly carried on by the few survivors of its population : the loongies, or waist‐cloths, of a mixture of silk and cotton, probably the zonæ of the list of imports in the Periplus, still continue the admiration of the wealthy Asiatics.

• 1851 C.E., James Bryan, A Treatise on the Anatomy, Physiology and Diseases of the Human Ear; Book I, Chapter I, page #20:

  The modiolus is the central pillar, which is hollow for the transmission of the branch of the portio mollis which supplies the cochlea—lateral perforations allow the nervous ramuscules to pass over the surfaces of the zonæ and scalæ cochleæ.

• 1887 C.E., Sven Ludwig Lovén On the Species of Echinoidea; page #129:

  The ambulacra, that is the zonæ poriferæ are ten in number, placed two and two close together, their well-known disposition in the Diadema setosum GRAY. The expression : »paribus approximatis» is used also of Arbacia Lixula, and the narrow ambulacra, in particular the disposition of the zonæ in that species so much resemble the same parts in the young Diadema saxatile, that the figure A on the Pl. XIV in RUMPHIUS, quoted by LINNÆUS for his E. saxatilis, was looked upon by LAMARCK as probably intended to represent an Arbacia punctulata, and by BLAINVILLE and DESMOULINS as referable to the mythical A. loculata BLV., approximations that TROSCHEL¹) regards as more than doubtful.
