of Lantana. Jatropha gossypifolia was abundant, affording 
food for the Ground-Dove, a pretty little bird, found in great 
numbers on the coast everywhere. On reaching the Turtle- 
Crawl, a picturesque arm of the sea, and a famous resort for 
turtle, I saw for the first time, growing luxuriantly in 
an extensive morass through which the road passed, the 
Anchovy-pear (Grias cauliflora), a singular tree, laden with 
fruits, which are sessile on the stem, and immense foliage. 
Near the coast, the vegetation is in general stunted, and 
the land for the most part employed for grazing-farms, 
called penns in Jamaica. On reaching the Blue Hole, a 
place celebrated as the spot chosen by the negroes in a 
former rebellion to obstruct the progress of cavalry troops, 
and precipitate them into this fathomless depth, I found it 
forming a circle of about four acres, connected with the sea 
by a narrow passage. The colour of the water is a beautiful 
blue. The road at the top comes in a right angle, witha 
perpendicular precipice of 200 feet, to the water. On rocks, 
above this remarkable place, I found a singular new Lisian-

with in Jamaica.
