LETTER VII. 



To the same. 



RINGMER, near LEWES, Oct. %th, 1770. 

 EAR SIR, I am glad to hear that Kuckalm 

 is to furnish you with the birds of Jamaica; 

 a sight of the hirundines of that hot and 

 distant island would be a great entertain- 

 ment to me. 



The Anni of Scopoli are now in my 

 possession ; and I have read the Atinus 

 Primus with satisfaction ; for though some parts of this work 

 are exceptionable, and he may advance some mistaken ob- 

 servations, yet the ornithology of so distant a country as 

 Carniola is very curious. Men that undertake only one 

 district -are much more likely to advance natural knowledge
