Weft Indies. Some Specimens of Millet, Guinea 
Corn, and Maize. But we muft particularly take 
Notice of the Bark Lace. The Tree that produces 
it is called Logetto , or the Bark Tree, the inner Bark 
of which conflfts of Fibres difpofed in a reticular 
Figure, and bears fome Refemblance to Lace. It is 
often, by curious People, made up into Ruffles, &c. 
There is preferved here a kind of Shirt or Garment 
of it, being the entire inner Bark taken off the Bo¬ 
dy of one of thefe Trees.

are many Specimens; as Ginfeng, which is now in 
high Eftimation in China and Japan , being deemed 
an excellent Cephalic, and good for the Spirits and

in Gold in Europe , and is yet very dear in the In¬ 
dies y but not much valued here : The Chinefe do 
not efteem that which grows in America , valuing 
only their own. Rattle Snake Root, Contrayerva, 
and others. And there are a great Variety of Gums, 
as Gum Elemi, Galbanum, Copal, Styrax, &c. 
and fome aromatic and other foreign Woods. Cam¬ 
phor, the Wood from which the Gum or Rofin of 
this Name is extracted; it grows in China , and 
fome other Parts of the Eaft Indies. Tfie Benzoin, 
which alfo produces a Gum, and many others. 
Spcngia?. In the Repofitory under this Title are 
a great Number of Specimens of the different kinds 
of Spunge, fome very large. They are a Sea Pro¬

Number of Vegetables that the Sea produces, but 
how properly is not yet by our modern Naturalifts 
abfoluteiy determined. 
The Repofitories that follow contain the differ¬ 
ent kinds of Coral under their feveral Titles. It 
would take up too much Room to enlarge much
