          them in beds with those [crossed out: others] which are stratified.
Does Jameson [ever?] allow [?] limestone to
be one of the strata? or, does he not [mean?] to
say that it occurs in beds in the stratified
rocks. Now the view taken by Eaton, would
rather [?] one to suppose that all [?] as
strata. I have not seen the new Editon indeed.
And in [name of person or place?], the same idea would be
the most natural, as it appears to me. And
the [inference?] would be that some of the rocks
are wanting in [added: almost] every [primitive?] range. At least,
I once thought he intended so to state tho' I can
hardly believe it now. The diff. however between
the two is not small. I intended to have filled this
paper [on?] [several?] things - but I must stop - for
my business has prevented me till the mail [horse?]
has arrived.

I send a perfect fresh water Lobster
for the Lyceum - & I intend to send
you a few bugs etc.

Perhaps I shall be glad to get a Persoon
by your agency.

With high respect Yours
