Ray, 231 
The Addenda to the fecond volume con- 
tain feveral interefting catalogues fuch 
are thofe of Zanoni's Hiftory, conlifting 
of new Italian^ Swifs, and Milanefe plants ; 
thofe of Breynius ; a catalogue of the 
plants of Virginia y obferved by Mr. Banis- 
ter ; and a compend of thofe of Mexico^ 
from Hernandez, who, at the expence 
of lixty thoufand ducats, had procured 
the paintings of 1200 fpecies, which pe- 
riilied in a fire of the Efcurial. 
In the preface to the firft volume, Mr. 
Ray acknowledges his obligations for af- 
fiftance received from many of his friends. 
Among thofe who had more effentially 
contributed to enrich his work, were. Sir 
Ed'ward Hulse, Dr. Tancred Robinson, 
Dr. Sloane, and his near neighbour, Mr. 
Dale. To thefe he adds, in the fecond 
volume, the names of William Courtine, 
Efq; of the Middle Temple, Dr. Pluke- 
net, Mr. DooDY, and Mr. Petiver. 
There are copies of Ray's Hiftory, 
with the date of 1693; but I believe the 
title-page only to be new, the remaining 
Qjj. copies
