ZooL.ocy. 
OF PMY LITE RAR Yeh e. 
in which branch I may predict, that my correfpondent and 
friend do&tor Benjamin Smith Barton will foon rife into celebrity,

of his native country, will be corrected with tendernefs and

of its Philofopbical Tranfattions, already publifhed, are moft in-

In this year came out a fecond edition of the firft volume of 
my Tour in Wales. 
In May 1784, I had the diftinguifhed honor of being 
elected member of the Royal Academy of Sciences at Stock-

Wilcke of the fame city, and Mr. Odman of Warmden, not re-

Awnp on December the 24th was honored by being elected 
member of the Agriculture Society, at Odiham, in Hamp/bire. 
In 1787 I gave a Supplement to the 4réic Zoology; it con-
