As for the frcfh Fruit of the Coffee Tree, I muft refer intirely to 
what Mejprs. T)e Juffieu^ Volkamerus^ La Roqtiey Bradleyy and 
others have laid about it. I have not as yet been lo lucky as to be 
able to examine it with due Care my felf ; and therefore can have 
nothing material to add about its appearance in that State. 
Neither is the dried Fruit to be often met with intire here in 
London: A great many fuch, however, I have been at Pains to pick 
out of Bales of Raw Coffee at the Drugfters j and fome of them I 
found to contain two perfed Kernels in one common Husk, others 
only one 5 I fay perfed Kernels, becaufc even in thofe that are lin- 
gle, there are moft commonly, if not always, fome remains of the 
abortive Kernel, lying like a Clipeus or Target upon the other, as 
fhall be explained more particularly in its proper Place. 
The Number of intire Tingle Berries in each Bale, does always far 
exceed the double ones : At a medium of all the Trials I made, the 
Proportion of them was nearly as feven to one. 
The Reafon why we have any intire Berries at all Imported, can 
be no other, than their being fmaller than the reft, and fo cfcaping 
the Roller which the Arabians make ufe of to take off the Husks, 
in the Manner we fhall fee prcfently ; and as there are fewer dou* 
ble Berries of that fmall Size than fingle ones, a greater Number 
of thefe laft muft remain (after this Preparation) with the Husks on. 
The fingle and double Berries differ from one an other in Figure,' 
neither are all of each Kind exadly alike : The firft are moftly of 
an oblong oval Figure, except where the Prominence, formed by 
the abortive Kernel makes a fmall Variation; the others, efpecially 
the fmaller fort, are more nearly round, with a fenfible depreffure 
on both Sides, running from the Foot ftalk to the Umbilicus y and 
by this it may be eafily known, whether a Berry be Tingle or double, 
without taking off the Husk. 
The fingle Berries which I colleded, may with refped to their 
Sizes, all be diftinguifhed into three Sorts, and the Length, tranfverfc 
Circumference, and Weight of each Sort at a Medium, arc as 
follows. 
Largeft Sort. 
Lenth, half an Inch. 
Circumference, one Inch. 
.Weight, five Grains. 
Second Sort. 
Tenth Teven Tixtccnths of an Inch, 
Cir. thirteen fixteenths of an Inch.’ 
Weight, three Grains and an half. 
Length, a quarter of an Inch.’ 
Circum. five eighths of an Inch,’
