1 have fent yoti this Billet by Wollarton Gardiner frbiri 

 Nottingham. 



I cannot tell what to add,* but that I intend you ari 

 Account of my Simpling here, before or about Au- 

 tumn. Yet becaufe fome Plants in your Catalogue 

 now in printing ftand upon my Parole > concerning 

 the one of them^ I was abundantly fatisfied, having 

 found it in that Plenty above Skipton^ and in the Beck 

 from thence : And as for Valeriana Gr^eca i I have 

 found that alfo in an unqueftionable Place this laft 

 Week, both with a white Flower, and alfo a blue 

 one, viz. under Maulam Coze, a Place fo remarkable^, 

 that it is one of the Wonders of Graven. It grow r $ 

 there on both Sides the Spring in great Tufts \ and 

 if the Catalogue be not yet printed off, I could wifht 

 that this Place might be added to the former. I have 

 found many Plants near to me, which I will referve 

 to another Opportunity, not willing to make this 

 more than a Billet. 



Br. Hulfe to Mr. Wf ay. 



SIR, 



AS to my Obfervatioris of Spiders proje&ing their 

 "Threads^ take them thus. I have feen them 

 fhoot their Webs three Yards long before they begin 

 to faile, and then they will (as it were) fly away in- 

 credibly fwift : Which Phenomenon doth fomewhat 

 puzzle me, feeing oftentimes the Air doth not move a 

 quarter fo faft as they feem to fly. Moftly they pro- 

 je6t their Threads fingle^ without any dividing or 

 "forking at all to be feen in them : Sometimes they 

 will fhoot their Threads upward, and will mount up 

 with them in a Line almoft perpendicular > and at other 



times
