APPENDIX C. 



[SLOANE MS. ADDITIONAL 5233, LARGE FOLIO, IS A 

 VOLUME LABELLED "DR. EDW. BROWN'S DRAWINGS."] 



" Some original drawing of Towns, Castles, Antiquities, 

 Medals &c. by Dr. Edward Browne in his Travels & 

 presented by his Father Sir Thomas Browne. Who 

 hath write upon sev" of them what they are." 



The above is the inscription written on the fly-leaf 

 of this volume, which I hoped might have contained 

 some drawings of birds or fishes by Sir Thomas Browne, 

 but there is nothing in it of interest from a Natural 

 History point of view. In Wilkin's Catalogue of the 

 MSS. (Vol. iv., p. 476) it is described as " a collection of 

 very curious drawings (some coloured) of public buildings, 

 habits, _fis/ies, mines, rocks, tombs, and other antiquities, 

 observed by Sir Thos. and Dr. Edward Browne in their 

 travels," but there are no fishes, birds, or other animals in 

 the volume.
