In our Simpling Journey in Sheppey we. found a Pe* 

 fennial Kali, differing fomething from that on the 

 Mediterranean Shore, in that it creeps, whereas the 

 other is ere£fc : Then the green Tops are thicker 

 than that on the Mediterranean Shores 5 and Mr. 

 Watts aflures me it is a Perennial: It grows near 

 Kings-ferry in Sheppey^ where alfo is calt upon the 

 Shore the Fucus Spongiofus nodofus Ger. emac. In the 

 fame Place in the Ditch grows plentifully an Atriplex 

 maritima folio finuato candicante angufto* It feems to 

 differ from the common Sinuato candicante pin. as the 

 common Maritima from the Sylveftris altera. I fend 

 you down Specimens of them, and Axtius de pice con* 

 fcienda^ and Arboribus coniferis^ by the firft Carrier 3 

 as alfo that Fucus I formerly told you of, to look like 

 a Honey-comb, which I found caft upon the Shore 

 on Sheppey^ us well as at Nejfon. There is in Town 

 &Bark come from Virginia^ which hasPrickles,the Ba- 

 ils of which refemble petrified Malta Teeth : It flings 

 the Tongue in a very extraordinary Manner 5 and he 

 that brought it, fays it grows plentifully on the Shore 

 there. 0\\ Sheppey ', fearching for the Copperas-Stones , 

 or Pyrites^ I found that the moft Part of thofe, taken 

 up in that I Hand are after North - Eafterly Storms, 

 that they are beat up by the W aves, and taken up at 

 Low- Water. Among others I found one fomething 

 extraordinary . It had been a Buccinum petrified, and 

 after that turned into a Pyrites. So that you might 

 fee every thing in it as in a Pyrites^ "viz. Weight, 

 Colour, &c* I leave you to judge whether or no the 



Difference
