   " 
  I 
  have 
  found 
  here 
  in 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  Cuba 
  two 
  trees 
  of 
  Annona 
  muricata, 
  growing 
  in 
  

   primitive 
  woods 
  on 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  the 
  Caunao 
  River. 
  From 
  fruit 
  of 
  these 
  trees 
  I 
  col- 
  

   lected 
  some 
  seed. 
  These 
  seeds 
  are 
  not 
  from 
  cultivated 
  plants 
  escaped 
  from 
  cultiva- 
  

   tion, 
  for, 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  place, 
  the 
  general 
  mode 
  of 
  carriage 
  of 
  seeds 
  from 
  cultivation 
  to 
  

   wildness, 
  such 
  as 
  birds, 
  is 
  wanting 
  in 
  this 
  case, 
  for 
  neither 
  birds 
  nor 
  beasts 
  (except 
  

   man) 
  will 
  eat 
  the 
  A. 
  muricata, 
  and, 
  besides, 
  the 
  tree 
  itself 
  and 
  its 
  fruits 
  are 
  very 
  different 
  

   from 
  what 
  we 
  call 
  the 
  cultivated.
