 fmall bullies (Crypt ant bus Chincnfis k ,) of the 

 fize of goofeberry bu(hes, which had white 

 double flowers. The leaves are us large as 

 thofe of the Rofe-mallow, cordated, obtufe ; 

 their margin is unequally ferrated ; they are

 and have at leaft eight pretty large veins. 

 The flowers grow in bunches, at the top of 

 the branches. 



Our companions, who joined us without 

 being aJted, called themfelves government 

 officers; and having reminded us of their 

 rewards, put their whips into their pock-

 as the factory, where we would pay them ; 

 but they refufed, and left us.
