We prefume this is the fame perfofi who af- 

 terwards made the voyage round the world with 

 Dr. Forjier^ in Capt. Cook's fhip^ and has fince 

 travelled over a large trad of country in fouthern 

 Africa^ in purfuit of thofe gratifications which his 

 zeal for natural hiftory enabled him to enjoy. The 

 prefent voyage, which was begun Dec, 28, 1765, 

 and finifhed July 21, 1766, was made with Capt. 

 Ekeherg^ who has been mentioned as havin^y firft 

 introduced the tea llirub into Szveden. This epi- 

 tome of the voyage confifts of little more than an 

 enumeration of thofe fubjedts of natural hiftory^ 

 which occurred to the journalifl, both at land and 

 at fea •, for as he makes ufe of the trivial names, 

 all defcriptions are fuperfeded ; except that, in the 

 notes, fome of thofe imperfedlly known are more 

 amply detailed.
