Ten Tael to one or two thonsand a single Root according to its big-
ness: Each Tael is reckoned at about 6 s. 8 d. By drinking
its Infusion for some time they assert it prolongs Life, and
turns Grey Hairs into Black. An odd Tradition of its first Dis-
covery is related in the aforesaid Transactions, to which I re-
fer you. 4. Auris INDICA non perforata. 5. Bombylus LUSITAN. è nigro cœrulescente. Mr. Jez-

three joynts in the Tail, and ours five or six as the lesser have.
Bontius in his Hist. Natur. & Medic. lib. 5. cap. 4. p. 56.
seems to mention this, where he says Scorpiones quoque co-
piosos & grandes fert hæc India (i. e. Java) vidi enim qui
partem quartam uinæ implerent, coloris è nigro cyanei &
splendescente, which Shining and Colour this has.
Mr. Charlton, that late most Curious Preserver of all Natural

Fort St. George, and Mr. Ed. Bartar from the Coast of
Guinea. 3. Scolopendra CAPENSIS major lutescens, caudâ

its thought to be dim-sighted. When it suckles its Young,
it ties it to its Body, as exprest in the Figure, with the
twigs of a twining Plant call’d Pamago. 12. Nerita JAMAICENSIS ex albo nigroque tessellatus.

simo. This is a smaller sort of Coccus de Maldiva found on
the shores of Fort St. George and sent me thence by the Reve-

Description of it in the Hort. Malab. cited under Fig. 4. very
much agreeing with it. I should be very glad if the Curious

right when it eats, which generally is done by his Incisores,
and reflecting his bushy Tail. This strange Creature is now alive
(viz. May 1703.) at Mr. Dottins a Drugsters in New-

Mountains of Stiria and Hungary. I suspect this Figure is too
mach humored, and doubted whether there were such a Plant in
Nature, until Dr. Sherard, that most accurate Botanist told me
he saw a Design of it done by that Laborious Naturalist Conra-
dus Gesner, amóngst the Figures of two Volums of Plants, being
such he had observ'd growing about him. These are now in the
Hands of Dr. John George Volkamer, Physician at Nuren-
berg: I shall be very much obliged to him or any other, who
will be pleased to send me a Specimen of it. 7. Cardamomum Luzonicum Coniforme Ticala dictum.

it with wonderful success in Dysenteries, and other Fluxes.
It’s said to grow in divers parts of the East-Indies: I hope

Signior Paul Boccone now Sylvius had this from the Coast of
Barbary, and gave it to Dr. Sherard, from whose Specimen I
designed it. It's a very odd shrubby Plant, and has somewhat the
face of a Corruda ; each Joynt is commonly armed with three
woody strong Thorns, the largest in the middle; these stand alter-
nately, like the Bambu, on a cross bended stock ; from the bosom
of these Spines comes 2 or 3 less, with as many long narrow Leaves
of the stiffness of Holly ; on the edges are many litle protube-
rances, like the first Leaves of Epiphyllanthus Jamaicensis. 2. Buceros LUZON. nasicornis maximus Bagang dictus

thence, (most of them since mentioned in my Hortus Siccus Ray H. Pl. Vol.3
app. p. 241.) and very lately with about as many from the Kingdom of
Cochinchina, as also several from Pulo Condore, to which he has added divers
Insects, Shells and other Curiosities, of which e're long there shall be an ac-
count given. 3. Dr John Crafto Hiegel, Chief Physician to the Archbishop and Elector
of Tryers, hath lately sent me some rare Fossils found in those parts, and
amongst them the famed Hysterolithos, which I have figured in my 6th
Decade. 4. I am obliged to Mr Isaac Teal, Apothecary General, for his care of
those from so curious a Correspondent. 5. The Reverend and Learned Father Kamel alias Camel, besides his two
Curious Treatises of the Philippine Herbs and Trees, formerly sent (which
are now Printed in the 3d Volume of that late accurate Botanist, Mr John
Ray, his Excellent History of Plants) hath again very lately been pleased to
favour me with many Additions, new Observations and Delineations,
both to his Herbs and Trees, as also a 3d Book de Plantis Philippensibus, part
of which I have already inserted in the Phil. Transact. No 293. Where
you will find such of them and the Herbs of which he sent me the Designs,
( the Trees you shall see elsewhere ) Several of these I have already
Figured in my Gazophylacick Tables, and shall continue them, if this Curious
Age will give encouragement ; which is humbly hoped, since there are in
them many Discoveries in all parts of Nature, which hitherto was never

discoveries in Insects, with many other Curiosities. 6. Dr John Jacob Scheuchzer, Physician at Zurich, and Fellow of the Royal
Society in England. This accurate Observer of Nature, hath been pleased
to present me with a Collection of rare Alpine Plants very neatly preserv'd,
and in a very curious Mss. which he hath Dedicated and sent to the Royall
Society, there are many of the Plants very finely Painted, which I will
suddenly give the Figures of. 7. My Worthy Friend Dr Sloan, Physician, Secretary to the Royall
Society, &c. hath been pleased to give me the freedom to Figure several of his in-
finite number of Curiosities, which will be no small Addition and Orna-
ment to my future Decades ; whose Museum since the late famous Mr
Courtine alias Charlton, has added his entire Collection to it, may equal, if
not exceed, most Cabinets in Europe. 8. Dr Christian Maximilianus Spener, Physician to the King of Prussia, and
Fellow of the Royall Brandenburgh College of Sciences, as also one of the
Imperial Academy of Curious Naturalists: To this Worthy Person, I am
very sensibly obliged for a Box of curious Fossils sent the last Summer, and
another lately received; a Catalogue of both, with Figures of the most rare
shall suddenly be publish’d. Several other Benefactors for want of room here, must be referred until
the next opportunity. ADVERTISEMENT. THETHE Tables for the next Decade are all ready finish'd,
and shall be publish'd as soon as 10 Guineas are
Subscribed ; in these, amongst other Curious things,
you will see the Figures of the 1. Cortex Peru or Jesuits Bark, with its Leaves, &c: 2. Several Plants from Barbary. 3. Divers Philippine Insects. 4. Amomuen legitimum Kameli Ray Vol. 3. Dend. 89 5.

N. B. I am putting to the Press the 11th and 12th Cen-
turies of my Museum, containing English Insects and Shells,
and of the last many Foreign, with divers Indian Plants,
never yet known to be described by any Author. And in a little time, God permitting me Health, I de-
sign to give a Catalogue of many British Fossils, and with them
several others which I have lately received from my kind
Friends abroad; and if they, or other Curious Persons, will

di, flavo, albo, nigro & rubro, eleganter de
picta. This feeds on the Lupine leaved Malabar
Rattle-Broom. 2. Scarabæus pectenarius LUZON. merè viridis. The
Inhabitants call this Ticpaclong, its of a pale shining green,
and is of our Dor or Tree Beetle kind, having Horns, when
expanded, resembling a Comb. The next with this, Father
Kamel sent me amongst other Curious Insects. 3. Cochinella LUZON. major e cupreo viridique eleganter
striata. This is a very elegant Beetle, each Rib alter-
nately streak'd with a changeable green and copper lustre.
The Curious Mr Charles Du Bois gave me some years since a
lesser of this, since which my kind Friend Mr Jezreel
Jones hath brought it me from Lisbon. 4. Jacobæa MAURITANICA Coronopi folio. It Flow-
ers in March. 5. Musca tricornis LUZONICA. The Head and Body
of this is black, the last mixt with white, it hath a
dancing Flight like our Gnats. 6. Cimex LUZON. omnino viridis. I take Fig 1. to be
the Hexapode of this Lupine-Rattle Bugg. 7. Nodiflora MAURITANICA foliis verticilli modo ser-
ratis. It’s found in Barbary amongst Rocks and Stoney
places and heads in February. 8. Amomum legitimum Kameli. You may see a large
and accurate Description of this in the Dendrology of Mr
Ray's 3d Volume of Plants, p. 89. These Seeds smelling
pleasantly, the Indian Maidens wear Bracelets of them
about their Neck and Arms, mixt with Musk Seed, Job's
Tears, Indian Cane, Abrus or Angola Seed, &c. 9. Polygala MAURITAN. lutea aromatica. This rare
Plant, with Fig. 4 and 12. were observed in Barbary, and
taken from the designs of an Herbal I have mentioned
in Tab. 37. Fig.4. which our kind Brother Mr John
Thorpe, Apothecary, gave me. 10. Phalæna BENGALENSIS, fulva, maculâ albescen-
te. Mr Henry Smith caught this in the Bay of Bengale,
Decemb. 1701. He also observed the same at Malacca the
March following. 11. Phalæna BENGAL. viridescens, linea pallescente. Sent
me with the last. To this Gentleman I am particularly
obliged for these and several other very curious Insects,
he being a person I never yet saw. 12. Limonium MAURITAN. flore minimo, caule folioso.
The Barbary Sea Lavander. It Flowers in May. TAB. XLIEx dono D. M. Lister M. D. [Fig: figures of objects in Table 41] To the Right Houourable THOMAS Lord Viscount

ther Kamel says this is brought from India, its Bark
is reddifh, thin, compact and bitterer than the Wood,
which is grey and solid, resembling that of Tamarisk, vid

Squill Comber. Feeding on that Plant. 3. Scarabæus LUZON. forcipatus ater. This gnaws
Trees. The last and this I have Samples of. 4. Nux biforis in tres dehiscens putaminis partes. Under
this inscription Father Kamel sent me its design, with Fig.
8, 10 and 14. amongst several other Fruits, which you
will see in my following Decades. 5. Pilularis LUZON. niger minimus. Fig. 2, 3, and this,
were sent me amongst the Designs of Fath. Kamel's Philip-
pine Beetles, and since that the Insects themselves of the
2 last. A. 6. Phalæna Bombylus, parvus, corpore nigro, ano cro-
ceo. This is curiously preserved in Mr Joseph Dandridge's
Collection, who caught it in Hornsey Wood in June. 7. Jasmini flore, frutex PHILIPPENSIS, Foliis Flori-
busque fere ternis. Dicutdalaga Luzonensibus. It grows on
the Sea Coasts ; the Leaves stink and taste like Wormwood.

being somewhat less, the Wings without Specki, but more clouded
on its upper edge. Mr Dandridge observed this in Cain Wood. 10. Nux Moschata oblonga, maxima, montis Balete.
Father Kamel sent me this draught, and from him it's described
by Mr Ray in his Syllabus pag. 58. 4. Its Leaves, Kernel
and exterior Fruit, you shall have the Figures of among the
Philippine Trees with the Male and Female Nutmegs. A. 10. A. Phalæna parva viridescens, corpore fusco I have
as yet seen thi, Insect only in Mr Dandridge’s Collection
Its brown Body and pale Rim differs it from the next. A. 11. Phalæna parva, viridescens, corpore albescente. Se-
veral of these I have observed in a Wood against the Board-
ed River after Midsummer. A. 12. Aurelia nigrescens Ejusdem. A. 13. Eruca exigua lutea, capite & guttulis nigris. This
is the Caterpillar of Fig. 11. the Designs and Observations

Shoulder Ring white. 4. Eruca LUZON. glabra, lineis luteis, fuscis & albis.
These yearly feed in great numbers on the Pancratium
minus after the Rains. 5. Aurelia ejusdem. This Coffin of the last Caterpillar
changed about Christmas, and in 15 or 16 days broke out
into the elegant Moth at Fig. 3. 6. Squilla marina LUZON. major. Indis Manla & Tila.
Kamel de Piseibus Moluscis & Crustaceis Philippensibus in
Actis Philosoph. No 302 31. where describing its length
he means for bicubitalis, biunciatis, which better agrees
with the Figure that I copyed from his design. 7. Zapotl nigrum. Jucatanensibus Ulz. This is a ve-
ry great shady Tree, with thick dark shining Leaves. 8. Flos aureus penta petalus Ejusdem. 9. Calyx & perianthium Floris præcedentis. 10. Fructus ejusdem. The Pulp of this Apple is black
or brown, and tastes like a Plumb ; but before its ripe it
pricks the mouth like Arum, It contains 5 or 6 horney
Stones. Vid. Kamel. Syllab. Ray Vol. 3. p. 54. pl. 4. 11. Angola LUZON. Aceris folio. The brittle Tree.
The Natives use the Leaves to procure easy delivery. 12. Ardea exotica aurita. This Bird is very remarkable.
for its 2 ear’d Tufts on the Head and wanting its back
Toe. Mr Ray's Figure of the Ardea cinenea minor in his
Ornithology Tab. 49. p. 279. somewhat resembles it. I
copyed this from a Picture amongst Mr Cleark's Collecti-
on of Paintings. 13. Squilla marina LUZON. minima, seu Formica mari-
na. Hipon vel Dilis Kamel de Piscibus Moluscis & Cru-
staceis Philippens. in Act Phil. No. 302. 5. 14. Araneus LUZON. oblongus lutescens, longipes, ventre

busque alarum aureis. These 3 last are from Designs Father
Kamel sent me. Tab XLIII [Fig: figures of objects in Table 43] To CIRIL ARTHINGTON, Esq;. This Table is hum-
bly Dedicated by his humble Servant JAMES PETIVER,
Apothecary and F. R. S. GAZOPHILACII NATURÆ & ARTIS. TAB. XLIV. FIGFIG. 1. Abrus minor coccineus vulg. hilo nigro. I have
received this Seed from Africa and both the Indies. 1. a. Abrus lutescens. 1. b. Abrus niger. These are varieties of the first. 2. Abrus ANTEGOANUS, medius miniatus. 3. Abrus ANTEG. med, miniatus, nigro nubulatus. Both
these Mrs Rachel Chapman brought me from Antegoa. 4. Abrus sanguineus maximus, nigro mixtus, Anacock qui-
busdam. 5. Abrus BARBAB. niger parvus, hilo rubro. This Pod
hath rarely more than 2 Seeds, and sometimes but one. 6. Semen Ejusdem. This is smaller than Fig. 1. flat-
tish, black with a red Eye. 7. Cochlea oblonga exotica levis. I met with this at Mad.
York's, and have not elsewhere seen it. 8. Phalæna alba semidiaphana, guttulis paucis nigris. I am
obliged to Mr Antrobus for this rare Gawse Moth. 9. Rhinoceros LUZON. nigricans capite vaginisque punctu-
latus. Father Kamel was pleased to present me with this Cu-
rious Beetle and its Design. 10. Bontiana LUZON. geniculis inferioribus carinulatis.
Bontius being the first that gave us this kind, if not this Plant,
I have attributed his Name to it for distinction sake. Its a Pa-
rasitical Plant, generally growing on Trees as our Polypodium
and Misleto, the Flowers for the most part resembling Aloes
or Orchis, and by some are therefore called Visco Aloes. 11. Sorbus LUZON. foliis ternis serratis. Bitongol
Indis, Carandas Garciæ ex Sententia Kameli. It Flowers in
May, and Fruit ripens in August, of a pleasant roughish
Sweetness, and full of small Grains. 12. Remora LUZON. corpore tereti. Comi Boholanis &
Zebuanis. Quini Leitensibus. This seems to differ from
the common kind. See its Description with several other
Fish which Father Kamel has observed about the Philippine
Isles, published in a MSS he sent me in the Philosophical
Transactions, No 302. 24. 13. Toucan SURINAMENSIS niger, ex albo flavo ru-
broque mixta. Taken from a Dutch Painting in Mr Clark's
Collection. This does not exactly agree with any Authors
I have yet read. Tab XLIV [Fig: figures of objects in Table 44] To Dr JOHN PHILIP BREYNIUS at Dantzick M. D.
& S. R. S. This Table is humbly Dedicated by JAM.
PETIVER, Apothecary, and F. R. S. GAZOPHILACII NATURÆ & ARTIS. TAB. XLV. FIGFIG. 1. Lignum Arboris Panguaguason. The Root and
Wood of this is both a Vulnerary and Febrifuge, takes a-
wey Pains in the Head, is good against Poison and the
Bites of Venemous Creatures, as has been experienced.
Kam. Syllab. Ray p. 89. 16. 2. Folium ejusdem. 3. Gonchæ Tiquasay facies extera Kam, MSS de Testac.
This is a sort of Tree or Rock Oyster, and agrees with a vir-
ginia kind, which from its shape they call a Hammer Shell. 4. Monstrum PHILIP. Centauri facie. F. Kamel sent me
a Design of this in a MSS Tract de Monstris, quasi Monstris
& Monstruosis, which shall e’re long be printed. 5. Phalæna media rufescens, Semicolon dicta. What is
very particular in this Moth is, its under Wings from
its Shoulders are extended beyond the upper, which,
with its Semicolon-like Specks, remarkably distinguishes
it from all others. 6. Phalæna LUZON. alba, margine superiore & corpore
sanguineis. F. Kamel sent me a Painting of this, and Mr
Cuninghame a Moth very like it. 7. Nux Arboris Hohom quam & Tagoligas vocant. Kamel
MSS. 8. Nucleus Hohom. 9. Zapotl CHINENS. fructu cinnabarino. Xicu sineus.
Chicoy Hispan. Figocaque Lusit. Its Leaves single, 6 inches
long and 3 broad. Kam. Syll. Ray p. 54. 5. 10. Zapotl Fructus. These are dryed in the Sun, as
they do Figs and so sent abroad. 11. Zapotl ossiculum. 12. Lapis cui a Natura Curiosa figura insculpta est D. Spe-
ner, Act. Phil. No 302. p. 2083. 16. This Dr Christian
Maximilian Spener, Physician to the King of Prussia, and Fellow
both of the Imperial and Brandenburgh Colleges, sent me. It
seems to be an Impression of an Entrochus upon a sort of
Iron Stone. A. 13. Phalæna brunna bimaculata fasciji fulvis. This
and Fig. 5. two very elegant Moths, my Curious Friend
Mr Antrobus was pleased to give me amongst several o-
thers. 14. Buccinulum MEDITERRAN. læve. ex albo nigroque
variegatum. I have received this from several Shoars
in the Streights, and lately from our Worthy Friend Mr
Robert Ball, sent him amongst other Shells from Leghorn. Tab. XLV [Fig: figures of objects in Table 45] To his curious Friend M. JOSEPH DANDRIDGE.
This Table is humbly Deditated by JAMES PETIVER,
Apothecary, and F. R. S. GAZOPHILACII NATURÆ & ARTIS TAB. XLVI. FIGFIG. 1. Serpens AMERICAN. variegatus, cingulis ma-
culisque nigris interspersis. 2. Vanillia Officinarum. Dale Pharm. 508. This Figure
shews its Leaves and twin or double Pods, with its manner
of twining about other Plants. 3. Vanillia, its Flower, which being so particular may
easily be known from other Plants. 4. Its full grown Pod, which is used in Chocolate, and
and has the fragrancy of Benjamin. 5. Betle MEXICAN. repens fol. pinguibus odoratis. This
the Natives call Mecaxochitl, they mix it with their Cho-
colate to give it a more pleasant Taste and correct the
Breath. 6. Betle NOVÆ HISPAN. fructu longo angustissimo.
There was several of these found in the Spanish West
India Ships when destroyed at Vigo. Dr Sherard now Con-
sul of Smyrna gave me some of them: They have gene-
rally 2 and sometimes 3 Tails tyed together, with a
Twine, which seems to be the Splinter of some sort of
Rush.
 7. Unicornu NEVICENSE, gyris cavis. This Shell is
very particular in having alternate hollows round its
Twirls, which in the Figure is exprest by the black
Spots. 8. Arbor MEXICANA, flore Tulipæ, staminibus Orni-
thopodij simile. Macpalxochi quahuitl Mexicanis. Flor
Camomano Hispanis. This is a very odd Tree; I shall
think my self very much obliged to any one that shall be
pleased to send me Samples of it, or any Plant like it. 9. Arbor PERUVIANA, Corticem Febrifugam ferens.
I took this from a Figure in Monsieur Pomet his Hist. of
Drugs in French: I will give a Guinea to the first Per-
son that brings or sends me fair Specimens of its Leaves,
Flower and Fruit, or any 2 of them on the same Branch. 10. and 11. Are the external and internal face of the
Bark of the aforesaid Tree. 12. Avicula forte SURINAMENS. e nigro rubroque
mixta. It's behind mostly black, the Head, Collar, Breast
and Belly red. 13. Avicula forte SURINAM. nigra, capite e luteo croceo. I
take this and the last to be Surinam Birds. I copyed them
from Paintings which Mr Clark brought from Holland. 14. Scarabæus MEXICAN. bicornis. Tomolin ich-
catzin Mexicanis. The lighter part in this Figure is of a
reddish Chesnut colour, the rest black. 15. Papiliunculus exoticus cærulescens. This is a Stranger
to me: I joyn it with these Birds, because they seem to
make it their prey. 16. Echinites CAROL. compressus rhomboidibus Testudina-
ribus. This is a piece of Fossil Echinus and seems much to
resemble that Figured No 125. in my Museum, which I
lately described in the Philosoph. Transact. No. 299. TAB XLVI [Fig: figures of objects in Table 46] To Dr JOHN CRAFTO HIEGEL, Chief Physician to
the Elector of Tryers. This Table is humbly Dedicated
by JAMES PETIVER, Apothecary and F. R. S. GAZOPHILACII NATURÆ & ARTIS, TAB. XLVII. FIGFIG. 1. Capricornus LUZON. maximus. His Sheaths
tawny, the rest black, Horns and Legs shining.
Father Kamel not only sent me the design of this elegant
Beetle, but was pleased to make me a Present of the In-
sect it self. A. 2. Ranatra cornuta. I first observed this sort in Cain-
Wood at Hampstead on Fern stalks, but they are not com-
mon. A. 3. Thus appears when sitting. A. 4. Ranatra rubra elegans, maculis nigris. The disco-
very of this beautiful Insect is owing to that nice Ob-
server as well as Preserver of Nature, Mr Joseph Dan-
dridge. 5. The same moving to fly. A. 6. Ranatra viridescens. Its Wings are of a faint
bluish green, and tips pale. A. 6. *. Ranatra fusca. These 4 last are a new genus
of Insects, approaching next to the Locustæ or Grashoppers,
but their shape differing: I have chose to distinguish
them, from their form and action, by the Name of
Frog-hoppers. A. 7. Its flying posture. 8. Osmunda LUZON. repens Fumariæ folio. F. Kamel
amongst his last Manuscripts sent me this under the Title
of Fumaria capillaris. I take it to be a Flowering Fern, and
his Description (as well as Design) seems to favour my
conjecture. 9. Asplenium LUZON. bicubitale pinnis alternis. 10. Filix LUZON. pinnis alternis Salici æmulantibus. The
Leaves of this are somewhat less waved than the Design. 11. Trochus LUZON. albis maculis nigro reticulo textus.
A design of this and its description F. Kamel sent me
lately in a MSS Treatise de Conchyliis Philippensibus. 12. Millepora MEDITERRANEA. An elegant Sam-
ple of this Mr Jezreel Jones found lately on the Barbary-
Shoar. 13. Cervi volantis Caput. Indis Olalo. The Figure and
Head of this strange Beetle F. Kamel sent me. 14. Hysterolithos Lapis. This wonderful Fossil Dr
J. G. Kisner, a Curious Physician at Frankfort, found in the
Vineyards of Lohenstein, from whence Dr John Daniel,
Horstius, Chief Physician to the Elector of Hesse Darmstad,
formerly sent it to Olaus Wormius. I have also received
it lately from Dr Hiegel, Physician to the Elector of
Treves. 135. Is the Reverse. Tab XLVII [Fig: figures of objects in Table 47] To Dr PETER HOTTON, Botanick Professor at Leyden,

rately observed. 5. Cantharus LUZON. viridis lævis. Indis Camarinen-
sium, Dias, Giao, Lanibao, & Salibat. Both design and
Insect Father Kamel sent me. 6. Hæmisphœricus LUZON. aureus maculis plurimis ni-
gris. This feeds on the Garden Night shade, it resembles
our Common Lady-cow, but this is larger, and has 3 times
the Number of Spots. 7. Folliculus globosus caudâ pilosâ. 8. Erucula LUZ. alba pilosa. This turns into the
1ast which produces Fig. 6. F. Kamel has been very ac-
curate in so nicely observing the Changes of these mi-
nute Insects. 9. Blatta domestica LUZON. nocturns. Hispan. Cucca
& Cucaracha. Lusit. Barata. Indis Ipis & Bancocang.
This resembles our Common House Cock-roach, and like them
are very devouring, and appear in the night only. The
Indians drink their Ashes in Phyfick, they also bruise and
mix them with Sugar, applying them to Ulcers and
Cancers to suppurate, it’s also said they are given to
kill Worms in Children. 10. Corallium stellatum compressum albescens. The super-
ficies is smooth, and the Stars scarcely raised. I think
Mr Stratton brought me this from our West India Islands. 11. Filix LUZON. pinnis alternis serratis. F. Kamel calls
this the Adiatum nigrum quorundam, seu Dryopteris Dale-
