 made in Szveden ; for, although goats are not fo 

 commonly kept with us, as in that country, yet it

When this figure ( 1 ) is made ufe of, it denotes 

 that the plant is eaten by that animal to which the 

 column is appropriated-, (0.) horned cattle or 

 Oicen-, (G.) Goats ^ (Sh.) Sheep (H,) Horfes (S,) 

 Swine. Two units, thus (11) denote that the ani- 

 mal is very fond of the plant. When the cypher 

 (o) occurs, we are to underftand that the plant is 

 rejedled by that animal. When both are found 

 together in a column, thus (10), or (01), they 

 denote that it was fometimes eaten and fometimes 

 rejedted : the former is fuppofed to fignify, that it 

 Was generally eaten, but fometimes refufed ; the 

 latter, the reverfe. Where no figure occurs, it is 

 to be underftood that no opportunity had been 

 taken of making a trial of that plant upon thofe 

 animals. The native place of each plant is added, 

 and the month in which it flowers, in as compen- 

 dious a manner as pofllble, as this feemed to be a
