S I R, London, July 1 1 . — 74. 



MY worthy Neighbour, Mr. Hatton, giving 

 me a Vilit, acquainted me, that my Lord 

 Mor daunt hath at his Houie at Parfons-Green- 1 *ar 

 London, fome of thofe Barbadoes 'Turtles that ar e ot 

 bigger than Larks, and that his Lordfhip is willing, 

 to permit any Artift that fhall come to him in his, 

 Mr. Ration's Name, to take a Draught of that Bird. 



If therefore you are minded to have that Bird in- 

 ferted in your Hiitory of Volatils, it not being hi- 

 therto defcribed, as Mr. Hatton thinks, you may give 

 Order to Mr. Martin to lend fome fit Perfon to the 

 Place mentioned, to receive that Satisfadion, which 

 I could not omit to give you Notice of. 



Mr. Ray to Dr. Lifter. 



Bear SIR, 



IN the laft Philofophical Tranfa&ions I faw a Ta- 

 ble of Land and Frejh-water Snails of your draw- 

 ing up, which is indeed very full, and difpofed in an 

 excellent Method, and the lively Figure of each 

 Shell, being elegantly engraven, added 5 fo that there 

 is little wanting to a compleat Hiftory of them. I 

 have not been very curious in fearching out and no- 

 ting the Varieties of our Englijh Land-Snails : Many 

 of yours I have not taken Notice of. The fecond 

 Kind I think is that you and I obferved about Mont- 

 pelier 3 but I do not remember to have feen it in En- 



R z gland.
