municated to me not only from many Very Worthy and Learned
Assistants at Home, but also brought me by my Kind Friends
from divers parts of the World, or transmitted from such
Curious Persons as do me the Honour to Correspond with me
from several parts Abroad: I thought my self highly obliged
to acknowledg them as my Generous Benefactors; And design-
ing to continue the Publishing of these Centuries as my Philoso-
phical Acquaintance and Correspondents Abroad and at Home
shall enrich me; I do therefore most humbly beg the Com-
munications and Assistance of all Curious Persons and Lovers of
Natural History, the which shall be justly and faithfully acknow-
ledged. And if there be any thing in this or the following
Centuries which they shall desire to be farther inform'd of, I
shall endeavour to serve them in that or what else is in the Power of Their most obliged Servant,

Century received several Collections of
Plants from my kind Friends in diffe-
rent parts of the World, as also divers Ani-
mals, viz. Beasts, Birds, Fishes, Serpents,
Insects, &c. with many Shells and some Fos-
sils: I presume it may not here be amiss to
give these Gentlemen, and such as for the
future design me Collections of any of the
aforementioned, some short Instructions or
an easie Method, how to preserve these
things and send them with very little Charge or
Trouble, Viz. First, All small Beasts, Fishes, Serpents,
Lizards and other Fleshy Bodies capable of
Corruption, are easily preserved in Rack,
Rum, Brandy or any other Spirits, or in a
strong Pickle or Brine of Sea-Water; to every
Gallon of which put Three or Four Handfuls
of Common or Bay Salt, with a Spoonful or two
of Allom poudered, and so send them in any
Pot, Bottle, Jarr, Cask or other Vessel. Secondly, After the same manner may be
sent all pulpy moist Fruit, either large or small
that is apt to decay or rot, as Apples, Cherries,
Cowcumbers, Oranges and such like, to each
of which and all other Fruits, its desired you
will tye a Sprig of its Leaves. Thirdly, 30 ADVERTISEMENT Thirdly, As to Fowls, those that are large,
if we cannot have their Cases whole; their
Head, Legs and Wings will be acceptable:
but smaller Birds are easily preserved Entire,
by opening their Bodies which is best done,
by cutting them under the Wing, and take
out their Entrals, and then stuff them with
Ockam or Tow mixt with Pitch, or Tar, and
being throughly dried in the Sun, wrap them
up close and keep them from Moisture. Fourthly, In Collecting of Plants, pray
observe to get that part of either Tree or
Herb as hath its Flower, Seed or Fruit on it,
but if none, then gather it as it is, and if
the Leaves which grow near the root of any
Herb, differ from those above, be pleased to
get both to compleat the Specimen, these
must be put into a Book or into a Quire of
Brown Paper ( which you must take with
you ) as soon as gathered, and once a Week
shift them to a fresh place, to prevent either
rotting themselves or Paper. All small Seed and dry Fruit as Nuts, Pods,
Heads, Husks, &c. need no other Care, but to
be leisurely dried and wrapt up in Paper, to
each of these if you add a Leaf or two and
a Flower it will be the more instructive, and
also a piece of the Wood, Bark, Root, Gum
or Rozin of any Tree or Herb, that is remar-
kable 31 ADVERTISEMENT kable for its Beauty, Smell, Use or Vertue. In relation to Insects, as Beetles, Spiders,
Grashoppers, Bees, Wasps, Fire-Flies, &c. these
may be Drowned altogether as soon as caught,
in a little wide mouth'd Glass or Vial of the
aforesaid Spirits or Pickel, which you may
carry in your Pocket. But all Butterflies
and Moths or Night Butterflies, being such as
have mealy Wings, which may be rub'd off
with the Fingers, these must be put into your
Pocket-Book, or any other small Printed Book
as soon as caught, after the same manner as
you do the dry Plants. There needs no Art in sending Shells,
but in choosing such as have their Snails or
Fish in them, which may be easily taken out,
by boyling them as soon as you come home:
The Sea-shells will be very acceptable, yet
the Land and Fresh water ones are the most
rare and desirable. All coloured Earths, Clays, Minerals, Me-
tals and Ores to be taken up as you find them,
as also such Form'd Stones as have any resem-
blance to Shells or Bones, as Vertebræ, &c.
these must be got as entire as you can, the
like to be observed in Slates that have the
impression of Plants, Fishes, Insects or other
bodies on them: These are to be found in
Quarries, Mines, Pitts, Caves or where-ever
the Earth is laid open. These 32 ADVERTISEMENT These Directions being very short and in
General for want of room here, I therefore
recommend you for more particular Enquiries
to the Honourable Mr. Boyle's General Heads
for Natural History, proposed to Travellers
and Navigators. Printed at London 1692. 12o. N. B. As amongst Plants the most com-
mon Grass, Rush, Moss, Fern, Thistles, Thorns
or vilest Weeds you can find, will meet with
the same acceptance as a Scarcer Plant, so
in all other things the most common as well
as rare, i e. whatsoever you meet with, will
be Welcome to SIR,

ABSTRACT
Of what Collections I have received the last
Twelve Months, and the Persons whom I am
Obliged to for them. Viz. 1. MR.Mr. GEORGE ALFREY, Surgeon to
Capt. HALLEY in his late Expedition, was
so kind to make me some Collections of Plants
on the Coast of Brasil. 2. Mr. EDWARD BARTER, at Cape Coast in
Guinea. From this Person I lately received 3 or 4 Quires of
Plants, with some Medicinal Roots, &c. 3. Mr. JACOB BOBART, Botanick Professor of the
Physick-Garden at OXFORD, hath favoured me with some
Plants I had not before seen. 4. Mr. SAMUEL BROWNE, Surgeon at Fort S.
George in the East-Indies. To the indefatigable Industry of
this Worthy and Generous Person, I am beyond expression obli-
ged, for his large and frequent Performances; in not only ga-
thering himself, but constantly employing several Persons to
make Collections for me, and many of them some days Journy
up the Country, from such Places we never yet saw any Plants
before. And to most of these he has added their Indian
Names, and the Vertues to such as are known to have any.
I have this Year (besides several before) received near 20
Volumes in Folio, filled with fair and perfect Specimens of Trees
and Herbs, and amongst them some from China, the Island of
Ceilon, &c. He hath also procured me a Correspondence with
divers Ingenious Persons residing in remoter Parts; and the
like I could heartily wish my other Friends would do. 5. Mr. EDWARD BULKLEY, another Ingenious
Surgeon at the same Place. This curious Person hath lately been
pleased to send me thence 3 Volumes of Medicinal Plants, with
their Names and Vertues annext; as also some Seeds, and a Ma-
teria Medica from Tonqueen; and formerly some from Persia.
From this obliging Gentleman I have also farther Promises of Yearly 44 Yearly Collections, as well from several other Parts of India, as
of such as grow about him. 6. The Reverend Father GEORGE CAMELLI,
a learned Jesuit; who hath been pleased to transmit to Mr. Ray
and me, the Designs of such rare Medicinal Plants, with a large
Account of their Vertue, Use, &c. as he hath experienced, and
observed them to grow amongst the Philippine Islands, where
he resides; some of which are already Published, and we hope
e'er long to gratifie the World with something more from him. 7. Mr. WILLIAM CLERK, Surgeon, brought me
lately some Plants and Seeds from Turkey. 8. Capt. JOHN CONWAY, my hearty and kind
Friend; who, besides the care he took of several Collections,
sent me from Fort St. George, the Cape of Good Hope, &c. pro-
cured me himself some Quires of Plants from the New Fort
called Fort St. David, which is about 50 Leagues S. W. from
Madrass. 9. Mr. CHARLES COOMBS, Surgeon, was so
kind to collect me some Plants at Calabar, on the Coast of A-
frica; as also some others with some Insects from Maryland. 10. Mr. JAMES CUNINGHAME, Surgeon.
A Learned and most industrious Promoter of Natural Philosophy,
and extremely well qualified for such a Design; as I am very
sensible, by the curious Remarks he hath made on most of the
Plants, &c. he hath observed : having in a late Voyage to China
made Collections wherever he touched, viz. 1. At Palma, one
of the Canary Islands. 2. About Batavia in the Island of Java.
3. and 4. At Emuy and Colonshu, two Chinese Islands; from
whence he also procured me the Paintings of near eight hun-
dred several Plants in their Natural Colours, with their Names
to all, and Vertues to many of them. In his return he visited
the Streights of Malacca, the Cape of Good Hope, Island of Ascen-
sion, &c. at all these Places he not only collected Plants, with
the Seeds of most of them, but also Insects, Shells, &c. and in-
deed whatever came in his way. A farther and more particu-
lar Account of these and many other things, the Publick may in time
be acquainted with. 11. My kind Friend Mr. JOHN FOXE, Surgeon,
sent me formerly a Collection of Plants, which he gathered at
the Cape of Good Hope, and very lately some Shells from thence,
as also 3 Quires of Plants from the Bay of Bengale. 12. The Reverend Mr. HUGH JONES, A very
curious Person in all parts of Natural History; particularly in
Fossils; some of which he hath sent me from Maryland with
several Volumes of Plants very finely preserved; with divers
Insects and Shells. From this obliging Gentleman, I am promi-
sed frequent remittances of whatever those Parts afford, as
well Animals & Fossils as Vegetables. 13. Mr. 45 13. Mr. JEZREEL JONES. This worthy and kind
Gentleman, in one Year whilst he was in Portugal (Secretary to
his Excellency Mr. METHWYN our now Envoy) was
pleased to make me considerable Collections every Month, of
all the Plants he there observed, which he very curiously pre-
served: and after the same Monthly method, he sent me a great
number of Insects; amongst them there were several altoge-
ther New to me and Strangers in England. To these he added
what Shells and Fossils he there met with, as also some curious
Reptiles.
It were heartily to be wisht, that the Zeal and Industry of
this Inquisitive Person, were imitated by such other curious
Gentlemen, as may have occasion to travel or reside in more re-
moter Parts. 14. Mr. ROLESTON JACOBS. This young
Gentleman was pleased to pick me up such curious Shells he met
with amongst the Spicy and neighbouring Islands, being all
or for the most part very fair as well as uncommon Shells. 15. Mr. WALTER KEIR. To this ingenious Sur-
geon I am obliged for some Plants, &c. he sent me from Je-
hore, in the Streights of Malacca, and I am in expectation of
greater Performances from him. 16. Dr. DAVID KREIG, a German, Physician, and
Fellow of our Royal Society. This curious Gentleman, after he
had made several Remarks on the Natural Productions of this I-
sland, and Painted several things he had here observed; was
pleased to make a Voyage to Maryland, from whence he retur-
ned plentifully stored with what in Nature he had there taken
notice of. His happy Genius in Designing, Painting, Etching,
&c. were no small Additions to his other Qualifications; he
being no less versed in the Study of Physick, than Anatomy, Bo-
tany, Chimistry, Natural Philosophy, and indeed whatever else
is requisite to compleat a Physician. 17. Mr. SYLVANUS LANDON. Besides the
Obligations I lye under to this worthy Gentleman and most in-
genious Surgeon, for several Plants he formerly brought me
from Cales, Alicant, Carthagena, and other Ports in Spain, and
after that from the Island of Borneo in the East-Indies, with some
very curious Serpents from thence: he hath been pleased late-
ly to present me with the well-preserved Samples of such Trees,
Herbs, &c. he has in a late Voyage observed on the Island of
Flores; to these he has added the Shells of that and some other
Islands in the East-Indies. In his return home, he also pro-
cured me the Remains of Dr. Oldenlands Collections at the Cape
of Good Hope, with divers Reptiles, as Serpents, Lizzards, &c.
from that most luxuriant Promontory. 18. I am very much oblig'd to Mr. GEORGE LONDON
his Majesty's Gardener, who was pleased to present me with two 46 two Volumes of dry Plants, very curiously Preserved, and col-
lected at Maryland by my worthy Friend the Reverend Mr.
Hugh Jones. 19. Mr. HENRY PASMORE. This Reverend
Person was so kind to transmit me some Collections of Plants
from the Island of Jamaica, with Promises of greater supplies,
which I doubt not but he had performed had not Death pre-
vented him. 20. Mr. RICHARD PLANER, Surgeon. This
ingenious and hearty Friend made me formerly some Collections
of Plants, Shells and Insects at Mount Serrado on the Coast of A-
frica: and in a Voyage since he got me other Collections from
those Parts, with some very curious Insects off the Coast of
Carthagena. 21. From Madam MARGARETHA HENDRINA
van OTTEREN, Widow to that late most curious Botanist
and Physician Dr. OLDENLAND, at the Cape of Good
Hope, I have lately received the compleat Specimens of several
Plants, very finely Preserved, and many of them such as I
had not seen before; so that I am extremely obliged to this
so generous a Benefactress, not only for these I have already
received from her (and those formerly from her Learned Hus-
band) but also for her kind Promises, in continuing to send
me over whatever Plants that Fertile Promontory produces, with
such Shells, Insects, Reptiles, Fossils, &c. as are there to be got. 22. Mr. JOHN RAY. To this most celebrated and
worthy Author I stand indebted for many Favours, and parti-
cularly this last Summer, when I was with him, for some En-
glish Insects he was pleased to give me, which I had not be-
fore seen. 23. Mr. ROBERT RUTHERFORD, Surgeon.
This hearty Person and kind Friend gathered me several Plants
in Carolina, with some Insects and Shells he there observed.
He hath also as I desired obliged some curious Persons that re-
side there, to hold a constant Correspondence with me. 24. Dr. FREDERICK RUYSCH, Anato-
mick and Botanick Professor in Amsterdam. To this most curi-
ous Person I am extremely obliged for several uncommon Rep-
tiles, Insects, &c. which he was pleased formerly to favour
me with; and since that I have received from him divers Ex-
otick Plants, some of which I have not before not since seen. 25. Mr. STOCKER. This kind Person (and altoge-
ther a Stranger) was pleased to bring me a Collection of Shells,
which he had pickt up in the Bay of Bengale, amongst them
there were some very Curious. 26. Mr. ALEX. SYMPSON, Surgeon. This Gen-
tleman was so kind lately to present me with the Samples of
some Plants, very well Preserved, which he had observed
about Gallipoli in Apulia. 27. Dr. 47 27. Dr. PITTON TOURNEFORT, Physici-
an, one of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and Botanick Profes-
sor of the Royal Garden at PARIS. To this Celebrated Bota-
nist I am obliged for some Alpine and Pyrenæan Plants he lately
sent me, and am daily in expectation, according to his Pro-
mises, of greater Collections from him. 28. Mr. RICHARD WHEELER. This Person,
my kind and hearty Friend, hath for many Years past, and doth
still continue to send me all the Plants and Insects which he
can get or procure me, about Long-Sound in NORWAY: ma-
ny of the First being rare with us, and only to be met with
in the North of England, and divers of the last are such I have
not yet seen about London. P. S. I hope the Generous Example of these Cu-
rious Persons, will excite and encourage others, who
Travel to or Reside in Foreign Parts, to do the like
for me; especially since the Preserving of all Animals,
Vegetables and Fossils, is so easily performed accor-
ding to my Printed Directions, which I am ready and
free to give, to all such as will be so kind to make Col-
lections for me, and as I have elsewhere hinted, the
most Common as well as Rare, i. e. Whatever they
meet with, either of Plants, Shells, Insects, Fossils,
&c. will be highly acceptable to me, and shall, on all
Occasions, be gratefully acknowledged, by Your most obliged
and humble Servant,
JAMES PETIVER.

ned in my 4th. and 5th. Centuries. MR.Mr. James Braylsford a Turkey Mechant. This
worthy Gentleman was pleased freely to present me
(at the request of my hearty and very ingenious Friend
Mr. Timothy Langley) with Four Bookes of Plants which
he gathered about Ierusalem, the Mountains of Bilan and
on the Banks of Euphrates and Iordan. And to each
Plant he procured its Name in Arabick, French and La-
tine from the Physicians of those parts. My Curious Friend Mr. Iezreel Iones has been also
so kind to render me the meaning of several of the Arabick
Characters. Mr. Edmund Bohun and Mr. Robert Ellis. I am ve-
ry much obliged to these two Gentleman for a Collection of 80 80 Musei Petiveriani of such Plants as they observed in South Carolina, last March
and April most of them being very well preserved. They
also sent me several rare Insects and Reptiles caught in those
months, with promises of farther Improvements from
them, which I daily expect the arrival of. To Mr. Iohn Dickinson I am obliged for some Plants
he lately sent me from Bermudas (besides 2 Collections
some Years agoe.) with assurances of larger performances. Mr. Iohn Fox Surgeon brought me 3 or 4 Bookes of Plants
which he gathered in the Bay of Bengale with some Insect,
Shells &c. My kind Friend Mr. George Franklyn Apothecary sent
me some Plants he observed the last Spring about Charles
Town in Carolina. Capt. Edmund Halley was pleased to give me what
Plants he collected on the Island Trinidado in his last Ex-
pedition. Dr. Godfried Klem one of the Czar's Physicians sent
me a Collection of Plants gathered about Moscow with some
Animals &c. which he observed in a Voyage between that
City and Azoff; he also procured me some Curious Shells
from Persia. Mr. Keir and Mr. Barklay Surgeons presented me with
some Plants they collected in China. Mr. Iohn Staremberg. This kind Gentleman hath late-
ly sent me a Collection of Plants from the Cape of Good
Hope, amongst which were some very Curious and altoge-
ther new, gathered neer 800 Miles up the Country. He likewise promises me frequent and larger perfor-
mances by every oportunity and particularly the next
shipps which I am suddenly in Expectation of. There are many other Collections which for want of room
here, must be refer'd to my next; by Your humble Servant
