To THE READERS OF THE BEE. 
Peru. 
Tue Editor has a rare. opportunity of receiving  intelli- 
gence from Peru, by means ef a literary gentleman going thither at 
present, and after a fhort stay there, to return hither, by whose 
means authentic information may be received relating to interesting 
objects in that country. The Editor intends to make npa memorial 
specifying particularly, such objects there, as occur to himself that . 
are only imperfectly known herve, and require farther elucidation ; and 
will be glad to insert in it such farthe1 particulars as may appear in- 
teresting to his readers. Any hints that fhall be transmitted to him in — 
two weeks from this date, post paid, fhall be duly attended to. 
.. ,/ Botany Bay. 
He has a similar opportunity to Botany Bay. Hints for that quar- 
ter of the world, also fhall have all neceisary attention paid to them. 
Nookta Sound. . 
- 
A similar opportunity occurs also to Nookta Sound at the present time, 
by the favour ofa gentleman who has made botany and natural histo- 
ry, a particular study; so that’ any memorandums on these subjects 
will have a good chance of procuring satisfactory elucidations. 
Bengal, Madras, China, &c. 
As the East India fhipsare soon to sail from Britain, he can have op- 
portunity of receiving elucidations respecting any particluar object 
that may be peculiarly interesting to particular readers from almost 
any European settlement in those quarters, and will be glad to lend 
his aid in forwarding such memou's or queries as they fhall think pro- 
pet to transmit tohim. But he requests that these queries may rather 
respect particular objects that are already in part known, than gene- 
ral questions, which seldom he finds lead to any active research. 
* 4 * To those readers ofthe Bee, by whose encouragement and punctual 
payments, the Editor has been enabled to carry on the work, his best 
thanks are due. But to others.who seem to forget that an extensive 
circulation, without punctual returns at short periods, is only a 
source of embara/sment, instead of ‘profit, he must take this oppor- 
tunity of ance more reminding them that the price of the work was 
put very low entirely.on the faith of having regular returns, and 
that both injustice to himself, and his other readers, he wul be put 
under the painful necefsity of charging the price to them ata higher 
rate, as formerly advertised, which he hopes they will prevent by a 
more punctual attention to this trifling matter, as it must.be to them.
