140 Dr. Lifter to Mr. Ray; 



You will fee a farther Account of it in the Danijh 

 Tranfaftions. 



Alfo you may pleafe to remember the Fungus Pipe- 

 ratusj which I have yearly found in Marton Woods 

 ever fince. 



Again, the Fulminating Powder j which the Spikes 

 of Mufcus Lycopod. yield, I 'have gathered much of 

 it in Craven, and find it will fire briskly in a Flame. 

 I gathered the Ears a little before they were ripe, and 

 put them in a Box, and found they ihed their Powder 

 of themfelves. 



See more in the Germ. TranfaSlions, and in QleariuSy 

 of this. 



As to that Queftion of a Heath-Throfile. I find that 

 the Ring-Ouzle is fo called with us in Craven, where 

 there is every where in the Moores Plenty of them. 

 I am glad you have difcovered thofe Authors to be 

 Plagiaries. This Sort of Men being the Bane and 

 Peft of Learning, and you ought to brand them. 



I have much improv'd my Catalogue of Snails, ha- 

 ving added five Species thereto. I long to fee you, 

 that I might confer with you about the Note I gave 

 of this Nature 3 for I would either put them out fe- 

 parately, if they deferve it, or throw them into 

 Mr. Willughhfs Store, if perchance any thing has 

 cfcaped his Diligence. But I fhall refolve upon no^ 

 thing till I fee you. Methinks we might meet half 

 Way the latter End of the Summer, 



Tork, July %. -76.
