distinguished — As for y= Salmons taken a bove London 

 towards Richmond & nearer, & y' in great quantity 

 some years they have all off them their lower jaw 

 as y^ observ, [see Note 92] & our fishermen [men crossed 

 oui\ say they usually wear off some part off it on 

 y= banks or els y= lower would grow into y= upper & 

 soe starve them as they have sometimes seen — 

 y" ask whether I haue y= mullus ruber asper, or 

 y^ piscis Octangularis Wormii. or y= sea worm longer 

 than y' earth worms, or y« garrulus Argentor. or 

 y' duck cal'd a May chit or y<= Dor hawke. The 

 4 first I haue noe account off y' 2 later I know not 

 especially by those names, wee have noe hawk by 

 y' name \see Note 42] y' account of succinum as all 

 y"= rest will bee registered. As for y= Aquila Gesneri 

 I never saw nor heard off any such in y^ Collidge for 

 [fol. 3 verso'\ this 25 years last past. Sr y^ are pleased to 

 say y^ shall write more if y^ know how not to bee surpur- 

 fluous — certainly what y'" have hitherto done hath bin 

 all curiosities, & I doubt not but y'^ have many more by 

 you — I can direct y"' noe further than y"' own reason 

 dictates to y^- Besides those mentioned in y* pinax I 

 have 100 to add, & cannot give y"" a particular off them 

 — whatever y^ write is either confirmative or additional. 

 I doe entreat this favour off y" to inform mee fuller off 

 those unknown things mentioned herein, & to add 

 y'= name page &c of y' Author if mentioned by any 

 or else to give them such a latin name for them as 

 y^ have done by y^ fungi which may bee descriptive 

 & differencing off them. Sr I hope y^ publigs \sic\ interest 

 & y^ own good genius will plead y^ pardon desired by 



y"^ humble servant
