 ivery letter may be inoiun, efpecially ivith regard to names. IVhere ohjelis 

 of botany or any other branch of natural bijiory are treated, it -Mill be obliging 

 alfo, ivhere it -will not be attended ivith too much trouble, to mart, along ivitb 

 the name that the -writer choofes to adopt, the Latin name, according to the fy- 

 ftem of Linnteus, or any other -well knoivn f\j}em referred to, ivith fuch other 

 fynonimes as readily occur to the ivriter at the time. And ivhere any uncommon 

 ftibjlance is mentioned, or neiv name adopted, a Jhort defcription or explanation of

 the editor is much at a lofs to jtnoiv by lubat route they can be rnofl eafily convey-

 tafiefl route to anyfea port town, or to Paris , and mention, if he can, the ex- 

 pence of carriage of letters, and of packets, diflinguifhing particulars as accu- 

 rately as pofjible. Parcels coming from the continent by fea, may be dir cited tt
