Fig. 8. Semen Cucurbitae, a large fpecies of Ameri- 
can gourd. 
Fig. 9. Coffee-berries. 
Fig. 10, 11. Two fpecies of Beans, very apparent. 
Fig. 12. Unknown. This, however, appears to be 
a fruit, with the calyx running up, and em- 
bracing it, in its hard green fate ; being 
fomewhat compreffed on the upper part, as 
it lay confined in the earth. 
Fig. 13. An Staphilodendri fpecies % The learned and 
reverend Dr. Hales gave me, fome years ago, 
a handful of the recent fruits, one or two 
of which are'fent with this foffil one, for 
your con fi deration. He had them from Ben- 
gal, and called them, in the Indian name, 
Neermelis * and faid the natives ufed them 
to fine down liquors. 
Fig. 14. A compreffed pod of the Arachidna, or 
Underground-Pea. The full-grown pods are 
much larger, but of various fizes, as are 
other kinds. This, however, feems to have 
been, when depofited where it was found, 
not fo far advanced. It has the reticulated 
furface, the apex on one fide, and every 
other character of that fruit or feed-pod, 
but fomewhat comprefled. * 
Fig. 1 5". is evidently an Acorn. We have of this 
fpecies here, and in America alfo. 
Fig. 16. An exotic fruit, like a fmall melon j but 
uncertain. It is fomewhat deformed by com- 
preffion. 
Fig . 1 7. This I took at firft for a fruit j but now I 
rather believe it aFungoides of a very pretty 
kind.
