But I refer you to Mr. Barrington with respect to the 

 fishes, who, with a person he is to procure, and my Brother 

 in Thames-street, is to look them over more narrowly at his 

 chambers. The specimens of fishes are in general too small ; 

 in order that they might be crouded into little room. In 

 the autumn I expect an other box with many more 

 specimens. 



My acknowledgements are due for your list of South 

 European animals, which I have sent, not doubting but that 

 it will be of service ; and also for y® wing of the chatterer. 

 On your recommendation I have desired my Brother to get 

 Briinnich, and Gouan on fishes.*|* 



Returning you many thanks for your offers of assistance 

 in our researches into the natural knowledge of Anda- 

 lusia, which I am conscious will be very useful and 

 necessary, I conclude 



Your obliged, and 



Humble Servant, 



Gil. White.
