" 1577 A. D." (Parkhurst, Hakl., and Holmes), "one hundred ships from Spain, fifty from Portu- 

 gal, one hundred and fifty from France, and fifty from England," engaged in the Newfoundland fish- 

 ery. Besides " twenty or thirty ships from Biscay, to kill whales for train oil." 



"The same year" (Alst.), end of the chronicle of Gerhardus Mercator. 



" 1578 A. D." (A. Dec. g. b. 978), Christophe Acosta writing De las drogas. 



"Aug. 20th" (Hackl. soc, Churchill coll., and Holmes), Francis Drake passing cape Virgin 

 Maria, near the entrance of the Straits of Magellan: among the simples on the South side of the 

 Straits, he remarked "time" ( . ), " marjerom " (....), and "Alexander's scurvy grass" 

 (Apijim duice), "and divers others well-known to us ;" and on an island, he met with "fowl that 

 could not fly, as big as geese "(....): entering the Pacific, his ship was driven Southward among 

 islands the uttermost cape of which is near Lat. 56 with no land in sight beyond ; in " a good bay, 

 they saw many men and women naked in canoos " (Fuegians), " and traded with them for such things 

 as they had," remarked their " drinking of one herbe " not unlike "pennyleafe" (Myrtus Humimi- 

 laria), and found growing on shore a "small berry with us named currants" (Ribes no. 10 expl. 

 exp.). Thence following the coast Northward, two of his men were killed by the natives of the 

 outlying island of Mocha in "Lat. 39 ." At Valparaiso he captured a Spanish ship; proceeding 

 inland, " plundered nine houses being all there were in that which they called the town of Santiago ; " 

 and returning to the ship, continued his course Northward. 



Wiii/era aromatica of Fuegia. A tree named from Winter, one of Drake's officers, who is said 

 to have discovered it — (Bethune), and who may have brought home specimens of the bark : " Winters 

 barke " was gathered by Hawkins in 1593 in the Straits of Magellan, the leaf "whitish greene and 

 is not unlike to the aspen leafe ; " but the Winter's bark of the present day, may be derived from 

 the more Northern species, which appeared to me decidedly distinct (See W. Chilensis). 



" In this year" (Prior), Lyte publishing his Niewe Herbal. 



"In this year" (Spreng.), Leon. Thurneysser publishing his Hist, plant, containing figures of 

 Co/vstecia tomentosa 4.S5, Meum helerophyllum 1021, Salsola rosacea 41, Cardamine latifolia 163, 

 and Chrysanthemum serotinum 539. — He died "in 1595," a full edition was published by Thorn. 

 Pancovius "in 1654," and a third by Barth. Zorn "in 1673.'' 



Erigeron [Ccenotus) Couadciisc of Northeast America. Figured by Thurneysser 538 — (Spreng.), 

 and as early as " 1655" cultivated in the jardin de Blois and termed by Brunyer "aster canadensis 

 annuus " — (Tourn., and A. Dec.) ; known to Boccone pi. 86 in Sicily in 1674, to Zannoni in Italy 

 in 1675, ancl in l6 94 termed " virga aurea virginiana annua" by Tournefort inst. 484: has become 

 naturalized in Algeria (Munby) and throughout Europe as far as Sweden and Moscow (Ten., and 

 Fries), from the Greek islands to Smyrna and Constantinople (Sibth.), in cultivated ground in the 

 Tauro-Caucasian countries (Bieb.), and in Siberia as far as the Altaian mountains (Ledeb., and 

 Dec.) : by European colonists also, was carried to the Azores and Madeira (Dec, and Wats.), 

 Austral Africa (Drege), the West Indies, Mexico, and Brazil (Dec), and the Hawaiian Islands 

 (Cham., and Mann). In its wild state, is known to grow in sunny situations from Canada along 

 the Atlantic to Lat. 31 in Florida (Pursh, Baldw., and Chapm.), to Kentucky (Short), the Arkansas 

 river (Nutt.) : but multiplying in clearings after the removal of the forest, has become an abundant 

 weed in waste and cultivated ground: was received by Tcrrey from Oregon. 



"1579 A. D." (Spreng.), Linschoten visiting the Malayan Archipelago and China v — He pub- 

 lished an account of his voyage "in 1599," — and died "in 1601."
