man of his profession, especially the cabinet of natural history of the 
Hereditary Prince Stadtholder, the botanical garden of Pro- 
fessor Schwenke, the colleaion of shells of M. Lyonett,&c. At 
L e yden he likewise took a view of all that deserved his notice, and 
having met with the kindest and most friendly treatment on the part of

introduced him to all the lovers and coUeftors of natural curiosities, 
especially to Houttyn, Vander Meulen, &c. &c. Linnaeus 
amassed here, as he had done in England and France , considerable 
treasures for his herbarium. 
Having thus gratified his ardent love ana desire of knowledge, he 
set out by Utrecht through Westphalia and Lower Saxony , on his return,

having spent about eighteen days at Hamburgh in a very pleasant man-

his way to Kiel, that he might pay a visit to his celebrated friend, 
professor Fabricius, whom he had the pleasure of meeting with in the 
preceding year at London. In the house of the greatest entomologist,.
