The Carolina Dish Cockle; it is two Inches above a Quarter of a Yard round, will contain near half a Pint of Water; it has 36 of the like Ridges, with the Pectunculus echinatus, but none of the Aculei; it was brought from thence, and given me by Chr. Gale Esq; her Majesty's Attorney General in Carolina.

Canella alba, the Bark of the wild Cinnamon Tree from Jamaica; the Seed of it, being the last Arbor bacifera Aromatica of Dr. Sloane (l)(l) Cat. Plant. Jam. p. 165.. A Piece of the Root of the true Cinnamon Tree, brought from the East-Indies, by Mons. Herman the late Botanick Professor at Leyden. Don. Jab. Cay M. D. A Branch of Cloves. Don. D. Ha. Sloane, M. D. & R. S. Sec. Nutmegs enclosed in Mace as they grow. Don. D. R. Dixon Lond. Coffee-Berries, the Plant is well described in the Phil. Trans. N° 208. and in N° 256, is a very handsome Discourse of its first Use amongst the Arabians and Turks, and since, the Europeans: Of its Vertues and Political Uses, read before the Royal Society, by my late Friend Mr. John Houghton, who computes that the three Kingdoms expends yearly therein 20586 Pounds; which, if all sold in Coffee-Houses, would amount to 61740 Pounds. But to return to the West-Indies, Chr. Gale Esq; sent me from North-Carolina some dried Yawpon, which the Indians in those Parts use for Thea, but is not very agreeable to the Generality of English Palates; the Form of the Leaf is not unlike that of Box. The Date-stone altogether solid. The Fruit of the Palm-Tree yielding Wine and Oil.

A Tomahaw, or fighting Club from North-Carolina; it is a yellowish hard Wood, like Box, above two Foot long, tapering from a little more than an Inch broad at the Handle, to three Inches at the other End, where it terminates in a Knob or Ball eight Inches round: Upon one Side is drawn an odd Figure supposed to represent one of their Idols whose Assistance they implore; upon the Bowing at the End is a Lizard nine Inches long, cut out of the same Piece of Wood, artificially enough, considering its being wrought with Flints by the Native Indians. One of the four Indian Kings, lately at London, is drawn with such an one in his Hand. This was brought me from Carolina by Chr. Gale Esq; Attorney-General for her Majesty.
