1793: on the best mode of carrying burdens: 229 
naria; but its botanical characters I have not been 
able to ascertain. é 
The Europeans there commonly distinguifh it by 
the name of the yellow gum tree. 
Some se@ds that were sent to the Botanic garden 
here under that name, have vegetated. The plants 
have at present exactly the appearance of a kind of 
gtafs, not having as yet discovered the rudiments 
of any kind of a stump rising above ground.

For the Bee. 
"Traveriers of learning and refined taste are, by the 
publifhing of their discoveries and observations, con- 
tinually furnifhing instruction and amusement to men 
of letters and philosophical speculation ; whilst men 
in a more humble situation, such as I, to whom the 
description of a painting, the dimensions of a statue, 
or the analysis of a piece of ore, can afford no enter- 
tainment, must confine their observations to the rud- 
‘er and more common objects that occur in society, and 
elude the attention of those more accomplilhed per- 
sons. Confined, however, as our range must be in 
our humble sphere, we may perhaps sometimes have 
it in our power to suggest to the public overlooked 
trifles that may in Some degree promote the welfare 
ef man. 
In this view, I fhall send to the Bee my observa- 
‘tions in a journey to London, on a very common ob- 
‘ject.
