put into another glass, with new rum poured on it; the 
glass must be well corked, and covered with putty and 
a bladder. All the alcyoniums, spunges, hornwracks, 
pipe-corals, coralines, sea-feathers, and other curious 
zoophytes, must be treated in the same manner; as 
this would be a means to acquaint us with the various 
inhabitants of this curious tribe of marine productions. 
IX. The various worm-like animals comprehended 
under the name of J/ollusca, may be best preserved’ in 
rum or brandy: only observe to pour the rum on them, 
when they are putting out their arms, eyes, horns, tenta- 
cula, and other parts of their frame.

by means of a wire, and a number on the lead scratched 
in; which must be referred to, in a paper, where under 
the same number the collector would be pleased to write 
the name by which the animal goes in his country, or 
among the various tribes of Indian nations, with the food, 
age, growth, nature, manners, haunts, how many young 
or eggs it brings forth, in what manner it is caught, what 
it is used for, &c. &c. 
XI. The vegetable world affords such an immense 
variety of productions of so great and varied uses for 
the various purposes and wants of human society; that 
it would be rather blameable in men to be indolent in 
respect to them. Old England can justly glory in be- 
ing possessed of the greatest variety of plants of all 
kinds; but even these glorious and spirited efforts in 
this branch of knowledge, are not yet sufficient to make 
us acquainted with all the produétions of the vegetable 
kingdom, and their various uses. Besides this, their 
cultivation at large is often impossible in our cold cli- 
mate, and reserved for a more mild and happy one,
