Those of Olympus were collected in the course 
of our expedition to the summit of that mountain, 
soon after our junction; and the Cretan plants are 
what I brought with me from Crete, and presented 
to Dr. Sibthorp at Constantinople. 
1 should think that all the plants collected in our 
last tour are still unmixed with those of the former ; 
for the collection arrived after the final removal of 
Dr. 8. from Oxford, and shortly before his death. 
They were consigned to the care of Dr. Werman, 
who found them in good preservation ; but whether 
Dr. W. arranged them in any systematical order, or 
amalgamated them with the rest, I know not, but 
hope he did not; in which case you will find, besides 
the abovementioned parcels, a very curious and 
finely preserved collection of the plants of Zante, 
made for him by a Zantiote apothecary; a small 
collection of the plants of Maina, made by a Mai- 
note ; and those plants which Dr. 8. collected in his 
voyage from Zante to Venice, besides all the insects, 
fishes, birds, shells, quadrupeds and seeds which he 
preserved in the whole course of his tour. 
It appears, then, that you either have or ought 
to have two large and distinct collections of Greek 
plants, the result of the two tours. 
Next summer, or the following, I will contrive to 
visit Norwich, and shall be happy to overlook your 
literary labours. 
I am impatient to get your Mora Britannica. 
I remain, my dear Sir, 
Most sincerely yours, 
J. Hawks.
