very earneft Solicitation from many People, for whomr | have
_ avery great Regard, to publifh this Second, which hath been
delay’d chiefly by a multiplicity of Bufinefs in the Practice
of Phyfick, which I efteem one of my firft Cares, and muft
be minded, if the Lives of Perfons be regarded, with due
Attention to the feveral Symptoms and Changes of their
Difeafes. This hath occafion’d many Interruptions and
Faults of many kinds in this Work. ‘The putting into
fome kind of Order my Curiofities, numbring them, and
entring their Names, and Accounts receiv’d with them, in
Books,which was neceflary in Orderto their Prefervation and

People have reprefented me carelefs and negligent, in not
giving this fecond Volume fooner, I think it proper in my

added 3734, all fuch as have in Greek or Latin treated
of the Medical Art, Natural Hiftory, Chymiftry, Ana-
tomy, &c. which are come sto my knowledge; fo that
my Library confiftsof 767: Greek and Latin Phyfical Au-
thors, . a great Number of Latin Books publifh’d
by the Authors already mentioned in Mercklin’s van der
Linden, and Editions, not taken Notice of by him, and
other Phyfical Books publifh’d in the Auropean Languages:
An Account of all thefe may perhaps be given hereafter
by myfelf ; or by fome-body elfe from the Things them-
felves, and the Memoirs left with them, which . hope
may be for the Benefit of Mankind.

I thought, and fully purpofed, to have given an Account

of Authors, or a Syllabus Autorum at the Beginning or End
of this Volume, wherein fhould have been fome Remarks
made upon them, and upon their different Editions and Tran-
flations, towards which, upon perufalof them, I had made
fome Obfervations, as well as upon many Errors in van der
Linden, fome of whic h I had com mun ica ted to the late Mon -
fieur Bourdelot at Parts. This learned Gentleman was about aa

and which he intended to publifh in two Volumes in Folio,
but was prevented by Death. When I had fent him my
Thoughts about this Work, with fome Part of my Emen-
dations and Additions intended for his Notice, he return’d
me Thanks, with an Offer of whatever my Library wanted’
which he had. The War, and his Death, interrupted
that Defign. I am not without fome hopes of fetting on
Foot this undertaking of publifhing van der Linden in Latin,
purged from many Errors with an Account of other Books
of the fame Nature in the European Languages added toit, as
alfo of Books of Voyages and Travels which are of the fame
Nature, and are extreamly ufeful for many purpofes, and
in. particular to natural Hiftorians, Phyficians, ic. but as
the finding the Books; bringing them from all Parts of the
World, and putting them into fome fort of. Order, hath coft
me much Time and. great Expence, Iam hot without hopes
that. they ma! ime, or other, ferve for the propagating”
ufeful Knowledge. 3 perdi |

~ Another Caufe of the retarding the Publication’ of ‘this’

Volume was the Death of Mr. Petiver, a Perfon fufhiciently
known. by his Underftanding in Natural Hiftory all over the
learned World. He was, when I knew him firft, an Appren-
tice to Mr. Feltham, who was Apothecary to St. Bartholo-
mew’s Hofpital, and was appointed by his Mafter to difpence
the Medicines there according to the Direétions of Dr. Broz
Dr. Bernard, and other Phyficians of that Place, and after.
wards fet up for himfelf in Alderfoate-flreet, and was
chofen Apothecary to the Charter-boufe. He had taken oreat
Pains to gather together the ProduGtions of Nature in Eng:
land, and by his Correfpondents, and Acquaintance, all ov
er
the World procured, I believe, a greater Quantity than
any
Man before him. He did not take equal Care to keep them
but put them into heaps, with fometimes {mall labe
ls of
Paper, where they were many of them injured by Duft, In- —
fets, Rain, Wc. He always intended if he died bétvre
me, that his Collections thould come into my Hands} which

The Leaves of this Tree are winged, twoor three Pair

being fet on to a middle Rib, without any odd one at
the End, each of them being fhaped, and'tin other refpects
like the Leaves of the Lignum Vite Tree, or Box’; 5 ex ales

are fet many Flowers, which refemble in growth thefe of
the Sycomore, are Recs hie with a Stylus, and have
Stamina of a yellowifh brown Colonr, after which follow

Afh colour’d thin Bark, and have at the going out of the
[Leaves an Inch, or two Inches long fharp Thorns ; thefe
Thorns growing thick, make it very proper for Hedges in
Ffamaica, where it is planted from Seeds fent to Mr. Bar-
bam. .This curious Gentleman directed an Indian, he fent
to the Bay of Campeche to cut that Wood,: to furnifh him
with the Seeds for the propagation of rt. He informs me
alfo, that when they cut that Wood, they ftand up to their
Knees in the Water, where it grows, in Danger. of be-
ing cut off by the Spaniards, who *pretend no European
Nation ‘can with right cut it but themfelves. |Another
Danger to them is the being ftung prodigioufly’ by Mot
quitos, by which many of the Loggwood Cutters have
died, which by his Care in -bringing over the Seed may for
the future be prevented.’ Since the Year 1715 the firft
fowing of this Seed in Sfamaica, many Trees now have
produce ripe Seeds.

‘thefe Places, but muft leave them for another Opportunity:

Tt will'-be proper in this Place to take Notice of fome

Objeftions, that: may have been: made againft my. former
Volume, and fuch as Ifind fault with myfelf therein, sand
inthis...
In the firft gs <i many of the
Figures were taken from dried Plants;"and that both the
Perfon ‘who faftened them into the Books, he who defign’d
thern afterwards, and the Engravers have committed feveral
Miftakes.. I had obferv’d: Books of Natural Hiftory and
‘Voyages to’be fo fill’d with Figures of Natural ProduGtions
made from relations by word of Mouth and Memory, that I
was perhaps too nice in not correcting what was amifs, my
‘Reafon being, thatif there were any Slips of that kind in the
Prints,’ they were eafily to be mended, by perufing their
Defcriptions, where if any of the Leaves had dropt off, or been
neglected by the feveral Workmen, as for example, in
being by fuch means placed alternatively, inftead of being
fet oppofite to one another on the Stalk, fuch Error. is fet
to rights. ‘This is fo true, that I do not find any Body, who
minds thofe Things in Sfamaica, ever mifs’d by my Defcrip-
tion and Figures, to find the Plants I meant, as may appear
by what follows. Mr. Barbam above-mentioned, an ingenious
Phyfician in Sfamaica, amongft many other curious and ufeful
Obfervations he fent tome by Letters and ina Manufcript,call’d
Hortus Americanus, which I hope he will publifh, many of
which

which are taken Notice of at the latter end of this Volume,

they coming fince it was finifh’d, took notice to me of an ac-
cident, whereby feveral Negros had been poyfon’d in. the
Year 1711. The Account he gave me was this, that a
Negro Servant carrying fome Rum in a Veffel upon his
Head, as their Way is, found, that upon motion, it run
over, to ftop which he pluck’d the Leaves of a Plant he
found growing in the Savanna or Meadow, over which he
was pafling. Upon drinking this Rum they found the
Negtos poyfon’d, fome whereof I think died, and there-
upon the Negro was try’d for his Life, the reft re-
cover'd by the Ufe of the Juice of the Indian Arrow Root,
or Canna Indica radice alba Alexipharmaca, of my Cata-
logue of Sfamaica Plants. p. 122. Hift. Vol. 1. p. 253. Mr.
Barham obferving thefe Leaves, and comparing them
with my Defcription and Figure, found: them prefently -to
be of the Apocynum ere&tum ffuticofum flore luteo maximo
& fpeciofiflimo, Cat. p. 89. Hift. Voli 1. p. 206. He far-
ther tellsume, that no Cattle will meddle with this Herb, and
that he faw two Drams of the exprefs’d Juice of it kilt
a Dog in eight Minutes, but he fays, it may be fo order’d
as not to kill a Perfon in many’ Days; Months, or Years:
T knew, fays he, a Pra@itioner in Phyfick poyfon’d with
this Plant by his Negro Woman, who had fo order’d it,
as not. to difpatch him quickly ; but he was feiz’d with
violent gripings, inclinations to vomit, and lofs. of Ap-
petite, afterwards he had fmall-Convulfions.in feveral Parts
of his Body, a Heétic Fever, and continual: wafting of his
Flefh. He fent to me, and’ I) fent him fame Ghandiroba
vel Nhandiroba Brafil. (Cat.'p.'85. Vol. 1. -p. 200.) Kernels
to infufe in Wine, and drink frequentlyof the Infufion,
This*cured him, and he is alive at this Day. Bat it was
fome ‘confiderable Time before his Convulfive Symptoms
left him. He adds, that two or three Spoonfuls of the Juice
of the whole Plant given to {trong young People, purges them
upwards and downwards, bringing away Worms: The
Milk outwardly applied takes away Warts, cures Ring-
Worms’ and Freckles. A Cataplafm:of»the -Green' Leaves

Another fault, I find with myfelf, is the Confufion there

is in the Quotations of Authors, in giving the Vertues of

to continue the Difcourfe with References in the Margin
or Bottom of the Pages; but 1 have the fame Reafon as
above, that every one may fee what concerns their Lives,
and what Authorities are to fupport the Virtues afcrib’d to
Simples, for I think it not fit to take upon myfelf the confe-
quences to the Lives of People, which may attend the taking
Medicines that 1 have never given,and which too many People
are apt to take upon flight grounds, and to afcribe to them the
fame Virtues as to thofe of the fame Tribe in Europe, when
there are many inftances, that the Virtues of many Plants
of the fame Tribe differ widely.. Upon this Occafion, I

concerning Dr. Burnet of the Charter-Houfe his Theory of
the Earth, (fome of the Notions whereof he had probably
from an old Abaffinian Philofopher mention’d, in Francefco:
Patritio’s libro della rhetorica Dialogo 1.) which is a Book
thought to be wrote, as all Dr. Burnet’s Books are, in an ex-
traordinary fine Style. Mr. Flamftead, the Aftronomer at
Greenwich, {peaking to me with great Wamrth about fome of
his einer! faid at laft, that he would prove and make him
know, that there went more to the making of the World
then a well turn’d Period. -I have had the Fate to fall
under the Difpleafure of fome Critics, for even the Faults
of others, as becaufe ]made amongft many others of the

Coral or Coral Stone from Boetzus de Boodt one. of the beft
writers upon that Subje&t, viz. Aftroitidis 2am & 3um Genus,
(which natural Produdtions do not agree to the Defcription of
the Aftroites of Pliny) muft this feemingly Grammatical Slip
in that Writer, in giving that Name to the Subftances he def
cribes be imputed to me? It/is certain that as [Knowledge of
Things that were not known: before: increafess; new Names

Things by old Claffic Words, hath been.a hindrance to Natural
-Hiftory, and it is well known what Confufiom another Mark
of profound and great [.earning, the tranflating proper Names
of Perfons and Places into Claffic Latin hath brought into the
Hiftory of the Progrefs of Learning, and of Places in'Geo-
graphy ; fo that it hath been found neceflary to print a DiGio-

it would require fometimes a days labour to find out what
Plant defcribed by other Writers they mean to give an
Account of,

Having thus endeavour'd-to anfwer all the Objections that

I have heard made by others, and taken notice of the Faults
obferved by myfelf, I will conclude with an Apology for
what Imperfeétions remain. In that diftant Climate the Heats
and Rains are exceflive, fo that there are often hin-
drances upon thofe Accounts: The Parts not inhabited
are very produétive of feveral Things very Curious, but
have no Conveniencies for lodging Men or Horfes, and
are often full of Serpents and other’ venomous Creatures,
which tho’ of themfelves they will fly from Men, yet
if the Places where they Neftle, or have their young, are
come near, they are thought to make very fierce and
dangerous Attacks upon Mankind. The fame Places re-
mote from Settlements are very often full of run away
Negros, who lye in Ambufh to kill the Whites who come
within their reach. In all thefe Cafes the Obfervations to
be made mult be very much fhort of that accuracy
which thofe void of fuch Circumftances attending them
may have. I fhall be extreamly pleafed to fee my Ob-
fervations of any kind rendred more perfeé& and ufe-
full.

I was unwilling to divide’ Trees into thofe with divided and not di-

to have an undivided Body, to be fometimes divided, and fo fome

This Tree grows to be one of the largeft and higheft Timber Trees
of this Ifland, affording very large Boards, of areddifh brown Colour,
clofe and firm Contexture, fhining, very odoriferous, and ftrongly
fcented, extreamly like, if not the fame with the Bermudas Cedar, being
towards its Outfides of a paler Colour and loofer Contexture. The Bark
is thin, and ready ingreat Piecesto drop off, appearing fomewhat con-

are exactly like thofe of the Sabina folio Cuprefi C. B. or Baccifera. F. B.
The Twigs or Sarcali are more denfe and fmaller than thofe of this

and like to Savin, The Fruit I never faw, but was toldit wasa Berry
like thofe of the Sassper. .
It grows on the Hills near the Blue Mountain in Liguanee, neat

- This Tree has as large a Trunk as our European Oakes, out of which
very large Boards are faw’d, not only for Wainfcotand Cabinets, but
even for the largeft Tables ;this Wood being very much coveted byall-
People,not only tor its being able to endure thePolifh, but for its Durability,
andlikewife for its delicate and pleafant variousColours,which are dark. The
Bark is grey, almolt {mooth, with no deep Sulci in it, and ufually after
rifing ftreight up Ten or Twelve Foot high, divides it felf into feveral
Branches, which make a round fine fhap’d Head, rifing Thirty or Forty
Foot high with their Tops. After fome few Days Rain, the Ends of
the Branches fprout out three Inches long Juli ofa yellowith green Colour
made up of {mall yellowApicesAnd
: at the fame Time,ufually between the
Parting or Divarication of twoT wigs, the Fruit grows on theBranch, by al-
moft no Footftalk,at firft no bigger than a Pin’s Head,round and green, but
augments to the Bignefs of a Wallnut without Skin, or one of our wild
orcrab Apples, of a yellowifh green Colour when ripe, and has exact-
ly their Smell if one come on the Lee Side of the Tree under which
they lie, having a fmall Hole for the Crown, and a Pulp no thicker than
a half Crown Piece, which ufually dries away under the Tree, fhowing
fome Furrows or Channels in it, and turning to a light fungous Matter.
This Matter being with Difficulty taken off,there appears a roundifh very
hard Stone, having many fharp Points on each Side of it, in which
lies in Cells fome flat Seeds fomewhat like thofe of aMelon.
While the Fruit is ripening, come the Leaves, ftanding without any
Order on the Ends of the Twigs, on three quarter Inch Footftalks, being
Inch and half long and Inch broad, a little beyond the round Bafe where
broadeft, trom thence growing narrower ’till they end in a Point, being
fmooth, hard and ofayelowifh green Colour.
It is in all its Parts extreamly tull ofa very fiery and hot Milk in ereat
Abundance.
It grows in the low Land, Sandy Woods, near Gullies and Places where
Water runs fome Times ofthe Year.
| Mr. Mohan told me, he knew a Fellow eat four of them, and yet was
not much hurt by them.
I do not fay tis the Baxana, as is alledg’d by Dr. Plukenet p: 23, of his
Mantiffa.
ae feed on the Fruit when fallen from the Trees, very greedily and
in great Plenty, and yet neither their Flefh, nor which is more wonder:
ful, their Milk is in the leaft poyfonows, but eaten indifferently as other
Milk. F
This Tree is very much valued for its fine Timber, but Workmen take
great Care in Felling it that the Milk fhould not come near their Bodies,
which it very much burns and deftroys, efpecially the Eyes, as you
may
fee by an Inftance of one who had his Fyes hurt and w
as with fome
Difficulty cured, of which I have given an Account in my Introdu@ion
to
the firft Volume of this Hiftory. p. CXX, 3

almoft fmooth like that of anAfh, with feveral white, large, a is ON it; it
is as big as ones Middle; the Wood is white and a little ftinking, the
Branches and Twigs are many, and altogether bare about the Month of
December, but in ‘fanuary or February they are all cover’d over with Blof-
foms, neither Leaves nor Fruit appearing; they are Papylionaceous of
a dirty white Colour with an Eye of Purple, the Petala of which are not
wide open’d, but lie clofe to one another, to each of which fucceeds
the Fruit or Pod two Inches long, having four thin, brown, Membranes
half an Inch broad, ftanding out on every Hand, the Length of the
Fruit, like the Sails of a Windmill, or the membranaceous Appendices
of the Seeds of erie Cogs, and within a fungous, brown, as ic were

of the Afh-tree, the Pinnx are two Inches long and one broad, faften’d
to the middle Rib, being oppofite one to another, with an odd one at
the End, and are, forthe moft Part, feven in Number.
This Tree grows every where inthe Savanna’s or Low-land Woods.
The Bark of this Tree {tamp’d and thrown inta a ftanding Pool where
Fifh are, intoxicates them for fome Time, they turning their Bellies
up, and coming above Water, but if they are not prefently caught,
they come to themfelves and recover. I have been told that the like Pho:-
nomenon happens if quick Lime be ufed the fame Way. _
The Indians and Negro’s make Ufe of this Bark to take Fifh, efpecially
in deep Holes in inland Rivers, when there is no Current but the moft
Part of the Rivers are dry, only fome deep Holes or Pools, whither the
Fifh retire for their own Safety. The Fifh caught after this Man-
ner, are counted very wholefome and good Food.

The Indians have a Tree wherewith they take their Fith, for their pre:

Sticks of it and bruife their Ends againit a Stone, rub them between their
Hands, in {mall Creeks, which at high Water are full of Fifh coming with

Stem, three Foot high, having fome Branches fpread on every Hand to-
wards the Top, whofe Leaves are wing’d, ufually fix Pinne or three pair,
fet one again{ft another, each of which are broadeft towards the Top like
the Colutea Scorpioides.C. B. Pin. Ofa blueifh green Colour and unfavory
Smell, the Flowers are of a deep yellow Colour, Pentapetalous, almoft Pa-
pylionaceous, the Petala being fet fparfe or lax, ona fhort Footftalk, to
which fuceeds a four corner’d two Inches long brown Pod, containing one
Row of brown fhining fmall rhomboidall Seeds.
After every rainy Seafon this Shrub comes up very plentifully and fills
the Clay-land Places of the Savanna’s about the Town of St. Jago ae La
Vega, having at firft two Seminal Leaves, as feveral of the Legumina have.
“Ttis ufed the fame Way and for the fame Ends with the foregoing only

Altho’ I have feen this Plane in fome Gardens, as well as fome Sam-.
ples of ic amongft dry’d Plants by.the Name of Sophera Alpini, yet 1
think Alpinas’s Figure neither as to the Number of Pinnz, which are even
in this, nor Length or Figure of the Pod, which are in chisflender, can
ree to it; add to this, that in the Defcription he fays it had four
or five Seeds, and this hath many more. What to fay to it IL know
not ; for C. B. who had the Plant from Bellws and Seeds from Alpizus,
fays they are the fame; andyet, Bebws fays his differs from Alpinws’s.

This Shrub, or Tree rifes generally to about five or fix Foot high, altho”
fometimes I have feen it fifteen Foot high. It has a brown, fhining,
fmooth Bark, the Stem no bigger than one’s Arm, along which, atan
Inche’s Diftance, are plac’d winged Leaves, confifting always of two
Pairs of Pinnx, plac’d on three quarters of an Inch long Footftalks, they
being fet oppofite one to the other, the firft Pair being fmall, if com-
par’d with the laft, which is fet about half an Inch further on the fame
middle Rib, each of thefe Pinnz:being more than an Inch long, half as
broad, fmooth, of a dark green Colour on the upper Side, having a mid-
dle and fome tranfverfe Ribs. Ex alis foliorum, and on the Tops
of the Branches come feveral two Inches long Spikes of Flowers, each of
which has a fmall three quarters of an Inch long Footftalk, the Flower
being made up of five capfular green Leaves, five yellow large Petala,
within which is a crooked or falcated Stylus. The Petala falling off this
Stylus augments to bea black, fhining, Pod, of about an Inch long, one
uart-r as broad, on each Side of a yellowifh middle Rib, containing in
a black fweetifh Pulp, one Row of almoft round, black, fhining, Seeds.
Ic grows on the Red Hills, on each Side of the Road going to Guanaboa,
very plentifully, flowering from November to February.

large from a narrow Beginning, opening wider, almoft like a Bell Flower,
the Margins being divided into five Sections, of a fulphurous Colour, or
like the yellow Flowers of the Mervailes of Perw. The Fruic I -faw

It grows on a Hill over Mr. Batzdelor’s Plantation, and in the Nort
Side of the Ifland more copioutiy, becaufe they have not been fell’d

The Cotton-Tree.

When this Tree firft grows up, it has a very round Stem, green and
almoft cover’d over with fhort Prickles, being very thick, where they
{tick to the Stalk, fometimes fhap’d like a Cock’s-comb and blunt. The
Leaves are then {mall, and of a very deep green Colour; after fome
few Years, the Trunc, when it’s come to its due Growth, is large
to a Wonder, even to that Degree, as to be fit to be hollow’d into
the Figure of a Boat, or made intoa Canoe, able to carry many Tuns
on the Water. The Wood is white and very foft, the Bark is grey,
{mooth, without any Prickles or Sulci, and the Trunc rifes ufually to
about fixty Foot high, being towards its Top, bellied, or larger than
it is at Bottom. This as feveral other Trees, at its coming out of the
Earth, has feveral Spurs, that is, on every hand very broad, plain Roots fup-
porting the Tree (like Buttreffes to old Buildings) running themfelves
onand intothe Surface of the Earth, the larger the Tree, the larger are
thefe Burtreffes towards the Roots, fo that fometimes they are made into
large Tables. The Branches towards the Top are fpread on every hand
all round, making with its Leaves a very fine Shade. About the Be-
ginning of Sanuary the Leaves wither and fall. off, and there come ac
the Ends of the Twigs feveral Tufts or Bunches of Flowers, every one
of which ftands on an Inch long, green, round Footftalk, it is made
up of five three Quarters ofan Inch long purplifh, brown, fattin’d Petala,
enclofing as many Stamina with purple and yellow Heads, on the outfide
of them is a green five pointed Capfula, within whichis a round, green
Knob, which as foon as the Flower is open’d, thruftsit and its Stami-
na (being all join’d at the Bottom) off together, fo that being under
the Tree in a hot Day, one would wonder to fee what Numbers
fall every Minute. After theFlowers follows an oblong, round,pointed mem-
branaceous Pod or Capfula, almoft as big as ones Fift, made up of
feveral Pieces, containing a great deal of very foft or filken, grey Down,
and in it, fome almoft round, brown Seeds, near as large as Peas,
much of the Shape of Cotten-Seed : When the Fruit is ripe, the Wind car-
ries the Down away, filling whole Fields with it. The Leaves come
after the Fruit is ripe; they are figured like thofe of the Horfe-chefnut,
there being feven or nine very long, green, fmooth Seétions, ftanding al-
ways on the fame common long Footftalks,
Sometimes this Tree when it is young is prickly, when old ie is
{mooth.

It is an unlikely this is by Batted called the Alscunde or Eliconde, which
isa Tree very tall and exceeding great, fome of them are as big as twelve
Men can fathom, fpreading like an Oak ; fome of them are hollow, and
from the liberal Skies receive fuch Plenty of Water, that they are hofpitable

three or four thoufand remain at one of thofe Trees, and thence receive
all their watery Provifion for twenty four Hours and not yet empty.

Belly to their Bellies fo) her Back to their Backs; excepting that this
is better from the younger Trees, whofe tenderer Backs being more

thirty Foot high, cover’d with an extraordinary fmooth Skin, of a grey
Colour, and branch’d out on every Hand, having the Ends of its Twigs
fer with Leaves of feveral Sizes, the larger being four or five Inches

they decreafe ro both Extremes, ending in a Point, {mooth, thin, shining,
of adeep green Colour, and ftanding on an Inch long Footftalks, when
bruis’d, very odoriferous, and in all things like the Leaves of a Bay-
Tree. The Ends of the Twigs are branch’d out into many two Inches long
Footftalks, fuftaining fomany Flowers, every one whereof is made up
ofa great many whitifh green Stamina, ftanding within four very fmall

and fmooth. The Fruit comes on the End of the Twigs, beinga Stalk or
String, on which grow feveral fmooth, green, roundifh Berries, bigger
than Peas, faften’d to it by an half Inch long Footftalks, at its era
Side, having a brown five leav’d Calix or Crown encompaffing it. The
Pulp is fweet, white, mealy, including a hard, brownifh, black Stone; big.
gerthan a Pepper-Corn, and much like it. a lar
_Itgrew néar Mr. Elletfon’s Plantation on the Savanna in Ligwanee, in
Sixtecn-Mile- Walk, ee. and in Barbados.
The Berries are ripe in Auguff, then fall off the Trees, under
which they are gather’d and catried to Market, being eaten and thought
a pleafant Difert. aos .
_ Reid, a Gardiner fent to Barbados for Plants, relates, that this Tree bore
Pods good to eat, but fure he was miftaken. |
I am doubtful whether this Tree be meant by Ligom. p. 14.to be found
in Cape Verd. Iles, or p. 33 and 74, where he fays, thatthe Nuts of
Locuft feed Swirie in Barbados, that the Trees are fifty Foor high, three
foot and a half Diameter, of clofe Timber, hard, bets but lafting :
It being not unlikely that thefe may be the Carob or fome filquofe’
Treé.

Rind or Caticula, which is thin and of a grey Colour, with fome white
Spots here and there, and now and then fome fhallow Furrows in it,
of avery biting and aromatick Tafte, fomething like Cloves, as is alfo
the inward, which is thicker and not fo rough or furrow’d- The Leaves
come out round the Ends ofthe Twigs, without any Order, ftanding
on a quarter of an Inch long Footftalks, are two Inches and a half long
and more than one broad, near the End, where broadeft, roundith,
being narrow at the Beginning, and of a yellowifh green Colour, fhin-
ing and fmooth, with one middle Rib. The Tops of the Twigs are
branch’d out into Bunches of many pentapetalous, fcarlet or purple Flow-
ers, made up of five Petala, to which follow fo many Berries being
each of the Bignefs of a large Pea, roundifh, green, and containing
within a mucilaginous, pale green, thin Pulp, tour black, large, fhining,
Seeds or Acini,of an irregular protuberant Figure.
All the Parts of this Tree are very Aromatick, hot and biting to the
Tafte, which, if too. troublefome, is cured by fair Water.
It grows in. the Low-land or Savanna Woods very frequently, and
on each Side of the Road between Paffage-Fort and the ‘Town of Sr,
ago dela Vega: \n Antegoa and the Caribes.
- The Bark is ufed fora Spice in all our hot Plantations very much, and
is cured by only cutting it off the Tree, and letting it dty in the Shade, It is
commonly called Wizter’s- Bark from one Captain Wiater, tho’ it be not
that ; for altho’ this be biting, good againft the Scurvy, and Aromatic
as his, yet he gather’d his by the Streights of Magellan, and Sir Fohn
Narborough brought fome, from thence, which was of a brownifh, not
white Colour, of which I have given ah Account in one of the PAi/, T:ran.
It yields per Veficam an aromatick ponderous Oil, finking to the Bottom
of Water, like: Oil of Cloves, with which it is mix’d and fold for itin
Europe. a
Tris not only ufed for a Spice, but is given likewife phyfically, mix’d
with prepared Steel, or in Lieu of Stomachics, but being very hot and
fiery, “tis ufu all y com pla in’ d of.
If Rum be diftill’d from fome of this Bark, it communicates to it fome
cood Qualities, and takes off its bad Scent or Empyreuma. —
This is not the true Cortex Winteranus tho’ fold for it, but itis de-
ferib’d by Clufims, under the Name of Cavella alba.
The Tree whichReéd brought from Barbados was very like if not the fame
with this, the only Difference was, that the Leaves tem’d more pointed,
attthe Top on long Footftalks, umbellatim,
and the Flowers did not go ou
but out of the Sides of the Branches,on fhort Footftalks, which I reckon
only Varieties. eee tee - .
_.: The Author of the, firft Voyage to Virginia, ap. Hakl:'p, 246. feems to
mean this Tree, and after p. 249. tells us that the Drink ufed there, was
_Water with thjs fodden, in, it with Ginger, or fometimes Saffapbras.
Gomara, cap. 143, Hist. Gen. tells us, that Goncalo Pifcarro went from
Peru tothe Country of Carella, and that under the Equinoftial at Cumac,
they found it, and I am apt to believe by its Defcription, that ’twas
this Tree, it agreeing to it, only the Cup feems to be too large. Aug. Sarate.

This Miffeltoe grew out of the Truncsof Trees after the Manner of
the Vifcum baccis albu, C. B. It feem’d by its Way of Growth to be near
of Kin to the Opuntie, having no Leaves or rather Stems, but what
we mult call the Stem or firft Leaf at the coming out of the Trunc of the
Tree, was flat, fomewhat roundifh, of a very dark green Colour, having
at every Inch and half’s Diftance, out of their Sides only, Branches or
Leaves oppofite one to another, and growing out of one another, after
the Manner of the Indian Fig, being an Inch and a half long, and an
eighth of an Inch broad, the whole growing to be a Foot long ; at the Ends
of the Branches are the Flowers, being {mall, -yellowifh, and two toge-
ther, to which follows a whitifh Berry, exactly like that of the ordina-
ry Miffeltoe.
This: Miffeltoe. grew on a Tree by a Ford, near Mr. Mec Graghs’s
Houfe in Liguanee, on the Banks of. Hope River. ..., :
The Defcription and Figure of this make it plainly different from the

‘This hung down from Trees after the Manner of Miffeltoe, ha-
vinga roundifh, green, woody, ftriated Stalk, as big as a Goofe’s Quill,
two or three Foot long, fometimes flatter and fometimes rounder, ha-
ving a large Pith. It was divided into feveral Branches, and they into
Twigs at every one, two, or three, Inch’s Diftance, at which Divifions
the Stalk was always fet round, almoft after the Manner of ftellated Plants
with roundifh, Inch and a half Jong, green Leaves, juft like Stalks, only
{maller and very numerous, fo that it appears.very bufhy. What Fruit
it has I know not, but am apt to believe it to be like that of the Prece-
dent.
It grew on the Arms and Branches of Trees, like Miffeltoe, ia the

This Tree rifes to about fifteen Foot high, having fevera! Truncs
cover’d witha clay colour’d, fmooth Bark, and many Branches fpread
out on every Hand, making a pleafant round Head, and fending out
Twigs two and two oppofite to one another, cover’d with Leaves fer
likewife againft one another; for the moft Part the Leaves are roundifh,
fmooth, very green, having very {mall Footftalks, an Inch long and three
quarters broad, among which come out the Flowers ftanding on half
Inch long Footftalks, confifting of five Petala, each of which is made
Spoon-fafhion, being narrow at the Beginning, and round or broad
towards the End, and ofa purple Colour. To thefe follows on an Inch
jong Footftalk, around red Fruit of the Bignefs of a Cherry, fmooth
skinn’d, having one or more Furrows or Channels on. its Outfide, and
containing within a reddifh, fweetifh, not unpleafant, copious, juicy
Pulp, feveral triangular fulcated Stones, whofe Sides are fo accom-
modated to one anotheras feem to make one round one with feveral
Furrows on its Outfide.
Being thouglit a pleafant Fruit, they are planted in moit Gardens,
where fome {mall Time after Rain one never miffes ripe Fruit.
They are not only ufed by way of Difert, but likewife by fick Peo-
ple, whofe Stomachs languifh; they difpel Wind, and take away the

This Tree rifeth by a ftreight Trunc as big as ones Arm, to about
fifteeen Foot high, having a white, fmooth Bark, like that of Hazel,
it has many Branches, whofe Twigs are thick fer with Leaves at a-
bout one third of an Inch’s Diftance alternatively, fo that if one
take not very good Notice one would think the Twigs were wing’d
Leaves; each Leaf ftands ona very fmall Footftalk,istwo Inches long
and three quarters of one broad in the Middle. where broadeft, {mooth,
and of a yellow green Colour ; between ‘the Branches and thefe, come
the Flowers, they are fo fmall as to be fcarce difcernible, .roundifht
and pale green, many together and without Bootftalks, to which fol«
low fo many Berries of an Orange Colour, bigger: than large Pins-
Heads, confilting of a thin yellow Skin, very thin Pulp, and Acini or

This Sort of Palm has, at coming out of the Earth, a fmall' Hill or
Protuberance made up of a great many round Ligulz , or Thong s inter-
woven, as moft others of this Kind ; the Trunc its telf rifes to a hundred
or two hundred Foot high ; it is about the Thicknefs of one’s Thigh, with
a grey colour’d fmooth Bark, having fome Marks or Vettigia of the fallen
of Leaves on its Surface. The Leaves are all round the Top, about fifteen
Foot long, the Pinnz are very green, feveral Foot long, and thick fet to
the middle Rib; the Footftalk is five Foot long, and fo broad as to en-,

This Tree rifes not paft ten Foot high, is as thick as one’s Leg,
ftraight, and grey Colour’d in the Bark; it hathin the Beginning of the
Spring, after having been naked for feveral Months, fome very {mall
purple pentapetalous Flowers with yellow Stamina breaking out of the
Ends and Sides of its bare Twigs:and Branches, and fometimes feveral
together on the fame Footftalk, to which follows on the fame bare Twigs
an oval fhaped, {mooth Fruit, of the Bignefsofone’s Thumb, firft green
then purple, of a fweetifh fulfome Tafte when ripe, but nor unplea fant.
The Pulp is but fmall in Comparifon of the Fruit, the Stone being
large and cover’d with fome Threads and Filaments. The Leaves
come after the Fruit is ripe towards the Ends of the Branches ; they
are many and winged, the Pinnx fet to the middle Rib-are an Inch
long and about half as broad in the Middle where broadeft, and ‘have
an oddone at the End, and are of a frefh green Colour.
The Fruit is ripe inthe Months of May and April.
They are planted by the Slip as Phyfick Nuts to make Hedges, both
for a Fence growing {peedily, as alfo becaufe they are not uapleafant when
eaten by Men, and that all Manner of Cattle will feed on them.
{fone cut the Pruit a-thware when ripe,a great many Eruce appear
in the Pulp, from whence they are thought.to breed Worms, and bring
the Gripes to thofe feeding on them. 1) on: |

This Tree rifeth totwenty or thirty Foot high, it has a Stem as thick
as one’s Thigh, cover’d with an afh-colour’d, fmooth Bark, like that of
the Fraxtaus ; the Branches are few, rifing ftraight up, and the Twigs are
thick fet with winged Leaves, which have a middle Rib for the moit
Part, a Foot long, having an extant Membrane on each Side a tenth
of an Inch broad, except an empty Space at every Inch and halt’s Di-
{tance, where the Pinne are fet on, almoft oppofite to one another,
with an odd one at the End. Each Pinnais four Inches long, and one
inch and a half broad in the Middle where broade(t, having no Foot-
{talk, one middle and feveral tranfverfe Ribs, is fmooth, and of a dark
green Colour. The Flowers come on the Ends of the Branches, which
are divided intomany fmall Footftalks fpread on every Hand, fuftain-
ing many white Flowers ina great Bunch, to which follow as many
brown Berries, or Plumbs as big as Cherries, having little or no Pulp,
being perfectly fpherical, and made up of a. thin brown Skin, having
many Veins running thro it, lathering with Water as Sope, and wafh-
ing Linen, in which (an empty Space being between) lies a round, black
fhining, hard Stone.
It grows in all the Low-land or Savanna Woods.
The outward Skin or Pulp of the Berries wafhes Linen as Sope, but
burns it in fome Time.
The Stone is made Ufe of for Buttons, and therefore the Berries are
gather’d and the Stones fent into Exvrope in great Quantities.
The Stone makes better Beads to be ufed in Prayers than Ebony.
Cloaths wafhed with this Fruit are injur’d by it, ic being very fharp;
being bruifed and thrown into Rivers it kills the Fifhes, as Timbo,
6. Pifo. ;
The Beads made of this Stone, turn’d, and the bitter Kernel taken
out, are better than thofe of Jet or Ebony becaufe light, and becaufe they
never crack; the Sope wafhes Cloaths as well as other Sopes in
Spain, Xim, Oviedo. 3
The Powder thrown into a River intoxicates Fifth, NWieremb.
Three or four of thefe Berries wafh Cloaths better than a Pound of
Sope, Mon.
They burn the Cloaths wafh’d with them. Ov.

This Tree has a Trunc as thick as one’s Middle, with a light

brown or grey afh-colour’d Bark, having very deep Furrows or Sulci
in it, rifing co twentyor thirty Foot high; the Ends of the Branches
have a great many ‘Leaves, ftanding without any Order on yellowifh
half Inch long. Footftalks, they-are three Inches long, and one and a half
broad: in the Middle, where broadeft, very {mooth and of a deep green
Colour, with an Eye of yellow-in it, having one Rib in the Middle and fe-
veral tran{verfe ones branch’dfrom it: Among the Leaves come out a fhort
half Inch long Stalk, to which are faften’d ‘by fhorr Petioli from near
the Bottom, Flowers: of a yellowifh green Colour, to which follows a
Fruit fhaped like a Pear, as big as one’s two Hilts, greenifh on the ou:
fide, having a {mooth Skin and a Pulp under it of an Inch int Thicknefs,
which is green, foft, almoft infipid to the Tafte, and very nourifhing. Withiu
this lies a naked great Kernelibigger than a Wallnut, having many Tu-

This is accounted one of the wholefomeft Pruits of thefe Countries, not

Onthe Twigs come winged Leaves oppofite to one another ; the Pinne
or Leaves are always two pair or four fet one againft another without
any Footftalk to the three quarters of an Inch long middle Rib, they are
nervous, fmooth, about an Inch long and three Quarters of one broad,
of a dark green Colour, and refemble the Leaves of Rue or Box;
from the further End.of the Twigs come the Flowers, many together
on Inch long, green Footftalks, as from a common Centre, or Um-
bell Fafhion, they are pentapetalous, blue, the Petala being long, and
ftanding Star-fafhion, within which are many blue Stamina with yellow
Apices, and a purple Stylus. After thefe follows the Fruit, which is
fhaped like the Seed of Bur/a Paffores or the Fruit of Acer Montanum candi-
dum B. wanting the A/e, or a Heart, the Apex being that Part fticking to
the Tree; and the Bafe uppermoflt, of a yellow Orange Colour, moift
and corrugated Subftance, which opens it felf and lets drop an oblong
large, horny, oval, black Seed, almoft like that of Cotton.
The Elder Trees of this Kind have generally fticking to their Barks

~ It grows every where in the Savanna Woods and Hill Sides of the
South fide of this Ifland, but none that I could fee in the North
fide.
Thefe Trees afford not good Fire-wood, and are fo hard as to break the
Iron Tools ufed in felling them, and therefore are generally left ftanding
when other Trees are fell’d.
The Flower when dryed turns pale, and does not keep its blue
Colour, whence ‘fo.'Terentius, Lynceus ap. Hernandez defcribes the Flower
to be of that Colour; in other Things the Defcription is good, and
the Icom of the Fruit exact; but there feems to be great Confufion
and very few certain Marks between Guayacan and Lignum-Santtum, as
may appear to any perufing Hernandez Ximenes and Terentins.
The Bark of this Tree is efteem’d more effectual: than its other
Parts,
This Wood boil’d in Water, and drank for many Days, Morning and
Evening, is good in Difeafes of the Liver and Breaft, efpecially their

A Spaniard getting from an Indian Woman the French-Pox, was
cured by his Indian Servant of his Pains, by this Wood, cc. in Hifpaniola,
whence others did the like, and thence it came in Ute at Seville, thro’ alk

Spain, and the whole World. The Way of Cure then, was
Shavings of the Wood twelve ere two of the Bark, cr
in five Quarts of Water, to the Confumption of two thirds, then ftrain-
ing and keeping it for Ufe. They then. boil the Wood again in a little
more frefh Water, till it boil’d away about a fourth Part, and {train
it. They drank of the firft Deco€tion warm, about ten Ounces, f{weat-
ing in Bed twice a Day after it, well cover’d for two Hours, in the
Morningasnd Evenings. They fhifted their Linen four Hours after
eating Raifins and Almonds with Bifcuit, keeping their Chamber and
drinking nothing but the fecond Decoétion for ordipary Drink. They
eat after fifteen Days, a Chicken roafted, and purged eafily, as like-
wife after the twentieth Day, and then eat Fleth and continued the
Courfe for forty Days longer; it roots out the Pox and all other in-
SLE Difeafes, efpecially if the Pox have preceeded fuch Diftempers,

Clufivs his Defctiption is not very exact, for his Specimen feems to
have been broken, and he has adjuited it wrong, for I never faw ia Fas
maica more than two Pair, or four Pipng, neither. do the Flowers or
Fruit come out fo exa@tly together in a.Bunch, as. he makes them.
The three Sorts of this Wood differ only in Age, the paler is the younger
and hath more Vertue, but keeps nor fo long ; its Fruit and Flowers are
ill defcrib’d by Mathiolus, who fays the Orientalis beft, and that it was
thought at firft dangerous unlefs taken forty Days.in the Dark, and

This Tree has a Trunc that rifes to about fifteen Foot high, as thick
as one’s Thigh, round, cover’d with a white, almoft {mooth Bark on the
outfide, being within thick and reddifh, having Branches fpread equally
on every Hand, making a handfome Top; the Tops of the Twigs are
fet round pretty clofe together with Leaves, having Footftalks one
third of an Inch long and green, being almoft oval, tour Inches long,
and two Inches broad in the Middle where broadeft, round at both
Ends, having one Middle and _feveral tranfverfe Ribs running from it
to the Sides, {mooth, thin, and when rubb’d, yielding a pleafant balfa-

Bunches on the Tops of the Twigs, which are divided into feveral three
or four Inches lore Footftalks, holding on their Tops, each a fimall
green Calix, out o. the Top of which iffue five purple, long, narrow
Petala, fometimes of a pale green Colour, and always {melling extremely

a round Bunch, or being Gibbous on one Side, and hollow or having
a Defeét on the other; this grows bigger, having an outward {mooth,
fhining, light brown Shell, within which is another, and between both
lies a thick, black oily and inflamable, cauftic Subftance, of the Con-
fiftence of Honey, and within both a Kernel, which, when roafted, is
beyond either Almonds or Cheffnuts for a pleafant Tafte. While this

There are large Trees naturally in Dominica, delighting fu much ia
Equality and Multiplication, that having grown to a definite Stature, with-
out Defire of over-topping others, they willingly let down their Boughs,
which being come to the Earth, again take’ Root, as it were to, con-
tinue the Succeffion of their decaying Progenitors. In the Skirts of

three or four of them come down {fo near to one another as to touch,
and the Wind twift them together, they appear fo like Ropes that it

The Plantain-Tree.

This Tree, Plant, or Shrub, has a tuberous, white, and very large Root,
fill’d with a vifcid Juice, and cover’d’ with a reddifh Skin, which fhoots
up feveral Leaves, their Footftalks enclofing the Body of the Tree or Stent,
as well. as ‘each the other; they rife to fifteen or twenty Foot high, more
or lefs, according to the Difference of the Ground. The Leaves themfelves
are fix Foot or more long, and one and a half broad in the Middle,
where broadeft; fmooth, thin, of a yellowifh green Colour, and oval
fhape, having feveral Veins running tranfverfly from the middle Rib
to the Leaf’s Margin, making right Angles with it. Thefe Stalks as
well as the Foorftalks, are made up of many Cells feparated from one ano-
ther by Membranes, as in fome Water Plants and Rufhes, all fill’d with
a waterifh Liquor gufhing out when wounded; the Leaves, when they
firft come out, are whole, but afterwards, by the Wind are crack’d or
cut into very narrow Parts, (imitating fomewhat the Feathers of Birds) as
far as the middle Rib, to which they ftick, looking as if they were Pinne.
From out of the Middle of thefe Leaves, cover’d by their Footftalks, being
in all as thick as one’s Thigh, rifesthe Stem ftraight up, being folid and
made up of many white Nerves or Fibres, fill’d with a vifcid whitifh
Juice, the Top of it being bow’d or inclining downwards, ’tis at firft
all cover’?d over with purple Spathe, inclofing the feveral Bunches of
Flowers, and thefe Sheaths in fome Time falling off, the Flowers appear;
there are feveral Tufts or Bunches of them fet at fome fmall Intervals
on the Stalk’s End, three or four coming dut together; they are made
up of two or three Petala of a yellowifh Colour, with fome brown Streaks
and purple Stamina ftanding on the Top of a fmooth, green, trian-
gular, crooked Body ; this Body isthe Rudiment of the Fruit, and fwells
bigger “till ic comes to be a Foot long, and Inch Diameter, {mooth on
the Outfide of the Skin, of a green Colour before it is ripe, and
then ’tis yellow; the Skin is about a quarter of an Inch thick, and is
thrown away ; the Pulp is yellow in Colour, very fweet and lufcious,
and contains, lying near four ftringy Subftances, as many Rows of fmall
brown Seeds, when ’tis cut tranfverfly, looking like a Crofs.

Mathiolus was out when he defcrib’d this with deciduous Leaves.
The inward Leaves when tender and young, and the budding Flowers,
are pickled with Pepper, Ginger, Garlick, Salt and Vinegar, and eat
as Capers.
The Leaves are cooling and good to lie on in hot Weather, and for
burns, Acoffa.
They are planted in Holes about a Foot deep, three or four Pieces
of the Root or Suckers being put intoeach Hole, at ten Foor {quare
Dittance. They mutt be carefully kept from Weeds, Several Acres are
planted cogether.
They are planted very carefully by mott Mafters of Plantations in ve
ry
fat and low Grounds, by Gullies Sides, ec, where they bring forth Fruit al]
the Year round. ’Tis ufed in Gusney, Ethiopia, molt hot Parts of th
e
World, and all over the Eaft-Indies.
When they fee the Bunches of Plantains large, and turning yellow
near ripe, they cut down the Tree at the Root, and cutting off the Plan-
tains with its Yop, carry it Home, and hang it up, where it ri
pens
in fome Hours, and turns from green to yellow.
They are thought friendly to the Lungs in their hot Difeafes, but
hurtful to the Stomach. :
The tender Stalk is eat, the Root bruis’d and drank in Milk is good
for the Vertigo, and the Water of it is good for the Kidneys, and Heat
of Urine, the Stalks beaten and eat with Honey are good for the
Eyes, fi 7.
Betore they are quite ripe, they are baked under the Embers and
eaten in Lieu of Bread, and tafte very pleafantly, being very nourif
ing, windy, venereal and adftringent, efpecially if not fully ripe.
h-
After they are ripe:they are eaten feveral ways, fliced and fry’d is
the moft ordinary, they are likewife boil’d in the Skins, pe
el’d and
beat to a Pafte,form’d like a Dumplia and call’d, Baff-Facker.
The Jews and Grecks think it was the Fruit forbid to Adam in Pa-
radife. J was told if one gathers the Fruit before it is ripe or good
to cat, the Branch will turn on him and give him a Blow on the
Nofe ; contrarywife, if ic be ripe, it will not be dangerous, Thever.
Thofe of Brafile are twice as large as of Siria.
_ Lery fays that there was no Leaf in Lurope, Afia or Africa like to thefe
Leaves, p. 193. for Largenets.
A pleafant Drink is made either of this Fruit or Bonayo’s
their Pulp being mafh’d with Water till it comes to t w h e n r i p e ,
Honey, it works and clears it felf, the thick {wimming a

T r o u g h s it ’s

but chiefly in the North Side of this Ifland.
Johufon’s Figure of this Fruit in Gerard is good,
being taken from
one ripe in Exgland, brought from Bermudas.
Every Tree cut down dies, and others always are

The Fruit not fully ripe, roafted and eaten as Bread, is fomewhat ad-
ftringent.
The Liquor or Juice of this is given in Fluxes, the Trunc of the Tree
or Leaves Foorftalks, being firft wounded.
Ln Fruit is very good Nourifhment, Venereal and good for the
realt.
The Leaves ferve to convey any thing or to wrap it up in, for Nap-
kins and Table-Cloaths, as well as Beds, when dry, to lie on, or wind-
ing Sheets for the Dead.
The Fruit is hard to digeft and apt to beget grofs Humours and Ob-
ftructions cf the Liver, bur it is good for hor Difeafes of the Breaft and
Kidneys if the Decodion be drank. |
The Decoction of the Rind of the Fruit, or the fame in Powder
is corroborating and {trengthening of the Heart. It is thought that it
firft was produc’d by grafting a Sugar-Cane on Colocafia, to which

Wild-Plantains.

This Tree does not rife fo high as the Plantain, the Leaves of it are not
fo large, they are ofa blueifh or dark green Colour, not breaking with the
Wind, as the other Kinds ; the Flowers come out at the Top of, the Stalk,
on each Side of it, like Boxes, one within another, ranged on both
Sides alternatively for a Foot in Length ; they are triangular, confift
of one thick yellow Leaf, hollow and containing Stamina; this Leaf or
Sheath not dropping off as the other Kinds. The Fruit fwells within
it, but never grows large, neither is ic good for any thing I know of.
It grows inthe fhady moift Woods every where in the Inland Parts
of the Ifland.
The Savages ufe them for covering Huts, cc. They are a Sort of Cans
na Indica, Tertre, and have Seed like it, Rochef.
Of the other Indian-Fig, Tune, Nochtl, or, Opuntia Kind, Cereus, &c.
T is common'to all of this Kind that their Stalks or Branches are
jointed, and moft Part of ‘them have each of their Joints-com-
prefs’d and broad, which has generally given them the Name. of
Leaves, but this Figure in a great Meafure leaves them for that-of a
rounder one when they are old, and altho’ they really are Branches and
not Leaves, yet, becaufe Ufe has obtain’d them to be call’d fo, they
muft go by that Name.
That Property that Theophrajtus gives his Opuntia of Striking-Root
from the Leaves, is not agreeable to this, becaufe it has properly no
Leaves, but to feveral others, as Oranges, cvc. the Leaves of which, on
being planted in the Ground, will ftrike fome {mall Fibrills, whether from
the Footftalk® or Gemma of the Leaf lodg’d in its A/z, I am. not certain.
This Plant has the Name of Indian-Fig- from fome {mall Refemblance
the Fruit hath to a Fig, as alfo that of a Prickly-Pear from. having
fomething of the Shape of a Pear, and being withal Prickly...
The Cerez are propagated by Seed or Leaf, as the Prickly-Pears, and
bear nor much watering, Herm, a tees he e
Cafpar Brauhine and from him Parkinfon, feem to have taken the
young Plant not grown to its due Bignefs, for a different Species of
this, and to have given it thé Name ot -Leves Pilofa, the youtig: Plants
appearing downy ; and when it grew.a little bigger, che Name of Haz-
milis, It is very ordinary for the Fruit to vary in Bignefs, according
to rainy of dry Weather, whence his two Species of Fructu majore.&
minore, (take to be the fame Plant. ee
The feveral Species reckon’d by Herzandez feem to come chiefly from
the Colour of the Fruit, which taken when young is green, and from
thence goes thro’ the intermediate Colours ’cill it. comes to a deep
purple Colour. | = ——
Oviedo in his Hiftory does defcribe

The Prickl 'y Pear-Tree,

The. Roots of this Tree or Bufh, are feveral two or three Foot long,
tapering, white, round and ftrong Thongs, fpread on every Hand un-
der the Surface of the Earth. Above Ground appears no Stalk, but
Leaves growing out of the Sides or ‘Tops of one another, to five or
fix Foot high ; they are about.a Foot in Length, nine Inches
broad, an Inch thick, of a lively Sea-green Colour, very full of a mu-
cilaginous or vifcid Juice, of an oblong roundifh Shape, almoft like
that of the Hand the Fingers being. extended, and “befet very thick
on both Sides, with about tem Tufts of Inch long, white, crooked and
flender Prickles ;four of them coming ufually together out of the fame
Tuft.or Bunch, befides much prickly Down, or very fmall Prickles
at the Bottom of thefe; when by many of thefé Leaves grown out
of one another the Tree is four Foot high, and has fpread it felf
in, Breadth, the under Leaves grow more ‘round, turn from their
vivid green Colour to an Afh one, lofe their Prickles, and look as
if they were a Irunc or Stalk. ‘The Leaves by Time and Weather,
fall’n off or not growing, are cleared. of the outward Membrane and
Pulp, and fhew a delicate reticulated Texture made by the Nerves
and Filaments of the Leaf varioufly branch’d and analtomos’d, and
look exactly like a /Racquet wherewith Tennis-Players ufe to ftrike
their Balls, whence this Plant has the Name of Raquettes in all French
Authors. _Moft commonly out of the Edges, fometimes the Sides of
thefe Leaves, come the Rudiments of this Fruit, which are Pear-figured
or tapering, round, ‘prickly Bodies, green, and putting forth at their T ops
their Flowers, which are a great many Petala, broad, fhap’d like thofe
of the Rofe, fet in a double Row, of a yellow Colour with an Eve
of red, inclofing feveral Stamina of the fame’ Colour; thefe falling
off, the Fruir augments, ’till it attains to the Bignefs’ of an ordinary Fig,
and turns from a Green to a Purple Colour, ‘having’ a ‘Navel-Hole or
Cavity at the Top, larger than that of a Medlar, where the Flower
{tood, and being befet with many ‘very fmall Tufts, of fcarce per-
ceivable Prickles (running themfelves into the Hands of their unwar
Gatherers, and tormenting them very much) and thefe Prickles are
chiefly fec rouad the fetting on of the Fruit to the Leaf. Under the
Skin, where the Hole on the Top of the Fruit is, is a round Subftance
like the Rowel of a Spur (which muft be taken out before it be eaten.)
Under fucculent Membranes and Covers lie’ the Seed and Pulp of this
Fruth

given in the Sron e, and call ed by the Span iard s Algw itir a de la tierr a
as Ximenes tells us, whic h is Gum -Tr aga can th of the Eart h.
It grows in the Iflands of Barbados, Nieves, St. Chriftopher’s, and
Yamaica, where it is to be met with very plentifully in the Savanna’s
and towards the Sea-fide. It grows Itkewife in European Gardens with
Care, tho’ not fo large or prickly as in the Indies or newly come from
thence, whence Parkznfon’stwo Names. Bodeus a Stape fays they come
fometimes without Prickles in Holand.
This Shrub at all Times of the Year, rainy and dry, is full of Blof
foms, young and ripe Fruit.
It is either propagated by the Seed or Leaf, by the latter it is
planted two Ways, either the Leaves are half buried upright, at about
a Foor’s Diftance in ftreight Furrows made on Purpofe; or, which is
the more ordinary Way, the Leaves are drawn together and laid
ftraight in a Row, flat on the Surface of the Ground, and feldom mifs
to {trike Root and profper.
The chief Ufe of this Plant is for Fences, the Prickles of it are fo
fharp, as to fcare any living Creature from attempting to get over it,
efpecially confidering that thofe Prickles (chiefly the downy and fmalt
ones) are very hard to be got out of the Flefh if once lodg’d in it,
wherefore it is ufually, inflamed andrankles if Care be not taken, and
thence tis counted poyfonous to be prick’d with them. Horfes and all
other Cattle are afraid.of coming nearithem, heace the Grafs near them
is loft, they not daring to come to eat it. They {pread very much
both by Seed and Leaf. In the Ifland of St: Chrifopher’s, when it was
to be Lideg between the Englifh and French, it was order’d by’ the Con-
fent of the two Nations, that there fhould be planted threé Rows of
thefe Trees between the Bounds of the one, and thofe of the other,
they thinking them the ftrongeft Fortification that could be thought of
to hinderthe Attempts of one another in Cafe of a War.
The Leaf of this Plant cleared of its Prickles and baked under the
Embers, in a wet Paper or thin Leaf, is reckon’d better than any ma-
turative Cataplafme for ripening Apoftemes, ec. it is likewife counted
mollifying, anodine and thought to be the beit ActraGtive in draws
ing our its Own Prickles, when they are lodg’d ia the Fleth. iSO
The Fruit is very cooling, if eaten with the Seeds it is adftringent,
and not unpleafant to the Tafte, but if more than one or two be
eaten at a Time, they ftop up che Belly. They are much ‘coveted by
Hunters when they ftand in Need of Water, to moiften their Mouths
and quench their Thirfts,
The Juice of the Fruit is made Ufe of as a Dye for Sweetmeats,
ce, re a Syrup is made of it to cool and moiften in Fevers, if put
into Julips.
The clear Juice of the roafted Leaf is very deterfive and cleanfing
to any ill-condicion’d Sore, efpecially if the roafted Leaf be apply’d in-
ftead of a Plaiiter, ix curing proud Flefh, ee. 2\VO#FE, itd

This Plant in every thing agrees with that before defcrib’d, only
tis larger in every Part, grows to eight or nine Foot high,’ its
Leaves are a Foot and a halt long, half as broad, and have no Tufts
of Prickles, but in Lieu of them are fmall Holes in the Surface of
the Leaf, filld..with ‘fmall oblong Protuberances. The Flowers are
ftreak’d with red, the Fruit,is like the former, only not fo favoury.

Hernandez his Figure agrees pretty well to the young Plant.
Pifo feems to have been very much miftaken thinking his Famacara 52
to be this Plant.
Newberry ap. Purchas, lib. 9. cap. 3. p. 1414. tells us that Cochineel is
a good Commodity at $hiras in Perfia,
Cochineel comes from Misba fifty Leagues N.W. of Mexico which

Grain which they call the Grain.of Cochinilla, Mexic, Chron. ap. Par-

This ts chiefly made a Commodity of, by the Spaniards and Indi-
ans living near Cofia Rica. . io
_ One: Captain Goffe and an Indian King who had lived many Years
in that Place, aflured me that the Indians and Spaniards there planted it
very,,carefully, infometimes fixty Acres of Ground, that they kept it
very cledin that the Infects might: breed on .it, that) it is not prickly,

that
the Infects come trom another Tree, that they appear on the Surface
of the Leaves in the Form of a little Bladder which thé Indians (climb-
ing the Tree) fweep down into an Iron Pan that is fer On the
Fire afterwards and leaves the Cochineel to be put into Chefts as
cured; if they be not enoagh dryed the Infe&s take Life and fly
away.
A Blecdaees affured me, that oace fome of his Comrades, join’d with
himfelf, had taken a Prize, and there being in it much Cochineel, they lay
on fome of the Bags, and that it took Life and crept about; it came
from Metoque in the Bay of Honduras.
I found in the Sulct of the wild Tamarind-Trees in Famaica the famé
Infeét, or one very like it, and it imitated Cochineel’ fo well on {rit
Tryal by being cured after the fame Manner, that I do not qpcftion bu
t
that ’tis the truce Way.
Other Infe€ts that I faw on this Tree were white, and no bigger
than a Loufe, fhap’d like it, many of them, lodg’d in the uncur’d
Cochineel, crawling about and very much coveted by Ants, whence I
believe they are the greateft Enemies they have. The Account given
by Herrera. ot clearing the Shrubs with Foxes Tails may be to clear
them of thefe Ants. : |
-They ftink like Hair, or Horn by a Candle. 1s
Hernandez fays they came either naturally or elf the Seed was kept,
and at a convenient ‘lime put to the Leaves, and that the Places where
they grew were kept clean and -fenc’d from Cattle.
Rochefort tells us of a Worm on a Sort of this Tree, dying red.
The’ this Tree» yields no Fruit of Ufe, yet they cultivate it with
great Diligence, for the fmall Worms breeding on the Leaves when
itis well cultivated, being faften’d there and cover’d with a delicate
Web : They dry them and bring them into Spain, in 1547 in the
Flota came 5677, Arobas, Acofta. :
~ . ‘It is generated on the Tuva, and is a Worm like a Cimex. The Trees
are fet in open Places defended from the North; it is lefs than a Flea,
gather’d twice a Year, they plant their Trees like Vines, the younger
Trees are the better ; they ufe Foxes Tails to clean the Tree from In
fects ; Hens are kept: off of it; they are killed, when large enough,
with Water, and dryed in the Shade, or they kill them with Athes,
wafhing them, buc that killed with Water is belt, the wild is not good.
There is another Sort wild and°blacker ;’the Mountainous, on Chichi-
meca is not good, that from ‘Tlaxcala ik beft, ic is beat and bo

Species of this Kind; every one of them is triangular, each Side
three Inches broad, furrowed between the Angles very deep, the Ca-
vity being round, very fmooth, ofa very frefh green Colour, and look-
ing jult like the Shape of a three corner’d Sword-Blade; on the three
Eminencies or Angles ftand Tufts of fmall, fhort, white Prickles, in Rows,
very thick, Star-fafhion, every Leafis abouta Foot and a halt long, they
creep up Trees, and ftick clofe to them, rifing to forty or fifty Foot
high, when the Prickles and fucculent Part of the Leaves fall off there
remains the long, round and ftrong inward Part, which is made Ufe of
for Withs to tie Pallifadoes clofe to one another, -in Building, é&c. The
Flowers come out of the Leaves, as in others of this Kind, at firft
appears a woolly round Knob which afterwards augments, and fhews
on its Out-fide a great many long, fcaly, reddifh green Leaves, one
longer than another, euclofing feveral very long, white Petala, ia the
Middle ofswhich ftand many long Stamina; the whole looking like
the Flower of the white Lilly ;the under Part of this Flower or Rudiment
of the Fruit beginning to fwell the Petala drop off and it augments

fweet Pulp, inclofing a great many fmall, black Seeds, fo that the Pulp
and Seeds look like /perma Ranarum.
Sometimes as other Wood-binds it creeps on the Ground, and grows
there, and then ’tis larger and much fairer.
It grows on all large Trees in the Savanna Woods towards the Sea’s
Side, and is fought after by Negro’s for the Withs as well as the
Fruit. .
The Fruit is ripe in December and Fanuary.
The Fruit eaten, makes the'Urine red’ as Prickly-Pears, C. B. Leet.

Green-W ith,

This Plant hangs down from the Branches of Trees and creeps up
others to forty Foot high; it feems to be only a Stalk with Clavicles
jointed or made up of Leaves, going one out of the other like the
Cerez, it is about three quarters of an Inch in Diameter, very fmooth
without, deep green colour’d, round, jointed or notch’d, at every five
Inch’s Diftance, from which goes out a three or four Inches long Cla-
vicle, which catches hold by its broad vifcid End of any Part of a Tree io
comes near. Oppofite to this comes another as long Clavicle, or Leaf
thin and membranaceous, froma broad Beginning, ending in a Point;
the Stem ic felf is folid, juicy, and fometimes branch’d. At feveral
Times of the Year, and in feveral Places, I have feen this Plant, but
could never obferve any other Leaf then the Clavicle above mention’d
Gf that may be called a Leaf) neither could I ever fee it have any
Flower or kryit,
{t grew in a Wood beyond Rio Cobre over againft the Angels, on
the Hills upon great Trees, between Colonel Ballard’s and Major Bragg’s
Plantations.
The Juice of this Plant either alone, or mix’d with proper Ointments.

and helps one to the Ule of their Limbs, after they have been loft in

ter them follows a Fruit about the Bignefs of an ordinary Muskmelon,

another Figure; the outward Skin is fmooth, before it is ripe very
green, when ripe, yellow, and containing within a yellow, fweer Pulp,

Seeds all round, each Seed being as big as a Pea, black, having feveral
Rifings and Impreffions on its Surface, and being inclos’d in a whitifh
clear. Bladder. ‘he Fruit when noe fully ripe, cut athwart, yields in
feveral Places a Milky Juice, which is thought very unwholefome if be-

Fruit.

The Shell of this Fruit, the Pulp and Seeds being taken out, is made Ufe
_of for Cups, Spoons, and all other Indian Houfhold-Goods, according -to
their various Shapes, the round chiefly for Cups, and the oval or long Sort
for Spoons. ‘They are generally made without any great Labour, only
when they would do fomething extraordinary, they cut on them, after
a rude Manner, ftrange Figures of Beafts, @c. without any other De-
fign than that of Ornament.
The Indians wanting Goldfmiths, thofe that work Tin, dc. are
fitted with this Fruit to fupply their Places. It cures Burns, and Pains of
the Head proceeding from Heat. The beft Way is to boil it to get out
the Pulp. Tertre.
It cures Thirftin Hunters, but ftops up the Belly. Rochef.
The unripe Fruit is candied with Sugar, Fon/t.
The pulp is eat candied with Sugar, when not ripe, it isas good in
Fevers as Citruls ;apply’d as a Poultefs to the Head and Temples it cures
the Head-ach which comes from the Heat of the Sun. Pé/o.
In Time of Scarcity the Indians eat this Fruit for Food, but the
great Ufe of it istomake Cups and Veffels to drink out of, called The-
comates, efpecially for Chocolate. Xim, Cluf.

This Fruit being pierced, hollow’d in the Middle, and {mall Stones,
or great Millet, or Mazz put into it, thrufting into it a Stick of a Foot
and a half long, makes an Inftrument called Maraca, with which, the
Indians, holding it in their Hands, make a ftrange Noifé. .This being
adorn’d with Feathers is ufed by them in their Religion, to make’ the
Spirits fpeak. They fometimes fmoke Tobacco, and would {moke the
Faces of the Indians, telling them to receive the Spirit of Force, where«
by they may overcome their Enemies. The Maraca with three or four
fine, Feathers, is by its Handle planted in the Ground among the Houfes,
and the People are order’d to carry Meat to it, and after they have
ftay’d fourteen or fifteen Days with Meat and Drink carried by the
Inhabitants, they are thought to have received {uch a Virtue that. on
ratling them a Spirit fpeaks by them, and that it makes their Roots
for Food to grow. Lery.
Every Houfe has two, or three of them; the Indians think that the
Toupan {peaks by them, and they adore nothing elfe. They make Vet-

of this Snail after it had been preferved in Spirit of Wine feveral Years,
where on the Belly, for near its whole Length is a remarkable Rifing,
made up of many Rings, on which Ibelieve it creeps when alive.
They feed on Herbs, and are to be met with after Rain; their Ex-
crement is round, long and black.
Lopez de Gomara fays, that after beating the Indians, the Spaniards
found thefe among other Provifions for Merchandize, for the Inland

confilted of twelve Aznuli or Sections, comprehending: the’ Head::and
Tail, and was almoft white, fmooth and fhining, bating fome fmall, fhort

Annuli were very deep, there was a black Line run down the Back.
from the Head to the Tail, which was a little brown, the Anas co-
verd with a fmall Flap; every Annals had on its Sides, oval, fmall,
brown Holes, likely its Windpipes, and there-were fhort Hairs about
them. The firit three Anal: had on each Side of their under Sides one Foot
or Leg very fmall in Proportion to the Creature, and brown, The firft
SeCtion, or that on the Head was inclining to a brownifh Orange Co-

two black, hard, hairy fharp Claws, with which it eat or corroded rotten
Wood, over them was a brown Flap like a Lobfter’s Tail under the
feveral Claws, and in the Sa/ci was a certain {mall white Kind ofa Loufe
which infefted it. The Excrement of the Belly was folid and an-
ular.
: Upon the firft opening of this Worm, iffued out a great Quantity of
limpid Water, aud appeared a great deal of Fat on all Sides of the In-
teftines, which were yellow. There were a great Number of fmall, fine,

They live, feed on, and eat their Way thro’ old Cotton-Trees, Bully-
Trees, and others, wherein they breed, and thrive very well, efpecially
when thefe Trees fall and rot on the Ground.

They are not venomous, nor do they any Hurt, but hunt and kill

the hindermoft Pair more than twice as long as the others, being about
two Inches in Length, the Wings membranaceous, of an afh-purple Co-

It came on Board the Affiftance-Frigate, about three hundred Leagues
to the windward of Barbados, and {ell on the Fore caftle among the
Sailors. More concerning this Locuft may be feen,p. 29.0f the firft Volume
of this Hiftory.
Sir Yohn Narborough told me he had frequently met with the like
Locufts at great Diftances from Land in feveral Voyages.
About five Years before I was in famaica, there came a prodigious
Number of thefe Locufts thither, they came from the Haft and went
Weltwardly, they flew fome no higher than the Heighth of a Man,
others very much higher, and went in a Stream; and at the fame
Time were a great many Crickets very common in thefe Parts. Al-
tho’ the greateft Part went Welt and did not ftay here, yet feveral
Stragling Locufts did, and confumed a great many of the Vegetables of
the Ifland. ‘
Beauplan tells us, that in Tartavy thefe Locutts are as big as one’s Finger,
and three or four Inches long, lay Eggs into the Ground by their
Tails, are hatch’d in <dprif, when if Rains come, they are deftroy’d,
they are ready to fy in fix Weeks with the Wind, are fometimes four

thrults inthe Egg, then ’tis hatch’d and feeds on this Cane till it be
ready to be turn’d to an Aurelia, whence it comes out. and leaves a
greyifh Skin which I have often found in the Canes fo {poil’d.
The Canes fo eaten are not fit to make Sugar, and therefore are
ground to make Rum, or given to the Hogs to feed on.
Sometimes Ants eat into the Canes, and have their Young ia them.

Middle, of a dark brown Colour above, and bluifh green underneath.
The whole Margin is made up of a Skin, on which are many round rais’d
Points, which are alfo on the firft and laft Joint of the Shell.
I found it of feveral Magnitudes fticking to the Rocks under Water,

Shell is white within and fmooth, with almoft an oval Aperture for the
Mouth, out of which, towards the Colamella iffue two more than
Inch long hollow Prickles or Marices, which feem to be for two
Tongues to thruft out from the Fifh. Thefe are fometimes branched,
which Branches are likewife hollow as the Prickles. The Mouth
is alfo finuated all round, over which Hollows are Prickles or Murizes,
with many of which there feems to have been no Communication
with the Fifh in the Shell. They are of different Lengths, as are
thofe placed on a ftreight Line on the Top or Vertex of the Shell.
The whole Shell is of a reddith brown Colour, and ftriated fpirally as
the Voluteturn. They are fometimes milk white, which may come
from the Lofs of their outward Skin, by polifhing, or Accidents.
They are found of feveral Magnitudes on the Shores of famaica,

This is about two Inches long, and about an Inch and a half broad,
it is {mooth on the outfide, only it hath fome little feemingly loofe Scales

The Land Crab.

Thefe make Burrows under Ground, like Rabbits, feed upon Ves
getables, and are very common in Famaica. They refemble very much
our common eatable Sea-Crab, only are a little darker red colcur’d, and
except on their upper fides,where are fome Depreffions,Furrows or Wrinkles,
neither have they any {mall LegslikeFins, but all theirLegs except the great
Claws are long and not forked but fingle pointed, and have on their two lait
Joints fome imal] Prickles; The Edges of the Margins of their Bodies are
fmooth, and have in the fore Parts two Holes, long and large enough
to lodge in them the Eyes of the Crab;
They are eaten by the Inhabitants, and are much beyond any Crutfta-
ceous Animal I ever eat, in Delicacy of Tafte. They arethought to be
poyfonous when they feed upon the Manfanilla-Tree Leaves or Fiuit,
which I fuppofe may come, from fome of it fticking to their Chaps, or
lying undigefted in their Stomachs, which are not feparated before cating.

This fimal] Lobfter or Crab differs in very little from the European

of an ordinary Lob/ter, one of which ts bigger than the other, both
rounder, more tumid, lefs prickly, and of a paler red than that of Ea

hath two Astenne and two Eyes which ftand on a long Cylindrical
Pedicle.
They fit themfelves with any Shell which they find empty, whether it
be of the Land or Sea, and cover themfelves almoft over init, carryin
it on their Backs wherever they go, like a Snail. ’Tis not poffible to be-
Jieve how quick the Land Crabs defcrib’d, p. 269, N° 1, and this Crab
will run upon the leaft Appehenfion of Danger : Till they are turn’d up no-

The Frefb-Water Eel.

I doubted whether the Frefh-Water Eel of Jamaica was the fame

with thofe of Exrope, and therefore. took its Defcription and Figure as
well as open’d it to fee, the Inwards,.and found upon Comparifon, they
were exactly the fame: However, left any Body fhould doubt the De-
fcription of it, fuch as I took in-Hafte, follows.

This was about a Foot and a halt long, almoft round, as big asa
Child’s Wrift of a Year old, had round black Eyes with a white Irés,
the under Chap a very ‘little longer than the upper (which I have ob-
ferved in thofe of Europe. likewife) ic was biggeft.a little beyond. the
Head, and from thence tapering to the End, having one Fin beginning
from fix Inches beyond the Head on the Back continuing to the Tail’s End,
and another beyond the 4zas, continued to.the fame\Place, and two others,
one of each fide beyond the Branchie; the upper Part of this Eel is of a
light brown, inclining to a yellow Colour, the undef white, and all is fmooth
and flippery like other Rels, The Stomach
was long, Sack-fafhion’d, thick
and white, containing feveral Worms made up of flat Joints, of an Afh
Colour, fquare, and having here and there fome fmall Feet, which are
at the Bottom of the Water lying under,the Stones ; the Gutis large,
making no Circumvolution, and the Liver, which dry’d is reckon’d a
great Specific in hard Labour, is frefh colour’d lying from one Hypo-
chondre to the other... _- . |
It is one. of the moft delicious Fifhes in this Ifland, (the Fat and Lean
being moft curioufly interlarded) which may come from the Clearnefs
of the Waters. —
i
 The Natural Fiftory of JAMAICA. 279
Tc is to be found in all frefh Water Rivers and Ponds efpecial i
the Country, whence they and Mullets come down in axe ae ee
in great Rains with the Violence of the Stream, and when it runs
no more, they are lefe in Holes of ftanding Water and taken with
Dogwood Bark.
There being great Varieties in Eels in Ezrope, according to the feve-
ral Waters they live in, it ought to be no Wonder if the Eels in Ja-
maica differ in fome {mall Matters from thofe of Exrope, the Rivers be-
ing there much more rapid and violeat than in other Places where
Rain is not fo great or lafting.
I am very inclinable to believe Marcgrave’s Mucu to bethe fame with
this Fifh.
Eel is of a very good Nourifhment, but being fat is hard of Digeftion.
The Fat, dropping from them while roafting, dropt into the Ears, helps
their old Aches. The fame taken off the Top of the Water wherein
they boil, is good for Wounds, The Fume of the Skins of thofe falted
put on Coals and receiv’d by the Fundament is good for Dyfenterical
Gripes. Sa/vian.

Ho _'6* st is a common Opinion, that the hot Parts of the

The Defcriptions that were taken of them, were taken with chofe of

Flowers, &c. Imeafur’d by Inches, and confidering that they do admit of
great Latitude in their Dimenfions, not only according to their Age,
Soil, eve. but even on the fame Bough fome are bigger than others,
I therefore thought it moft reafonable not to be too ftri in the
Meafure, but to give a near Guefs by meafuring with my Thumb
after a grofs Manner, whicti was fufficient with other Citcuonftances
to difference them from others. I wifh I had been moré exaé in
meafuring the Birds, for they (I think) do not vary fo much in,.big-

nice meafuring then I have here beftow’d on them, tho’ the Figures
may help in fome Degree, my Rule being to have them drawn as

and that is, that I take it generally, I come under the exact Meature

arm’d with brown blunt Claws; ’tis all over of a dark brown
Colour, except the under fide of the Wings and Tail, which ts of a

It flies exactly like a Kite, and preys on nothing living, but when
dead, it devours their Carcaifes, whence they are not molefted.
They are to be found every where.
At the firft Landing of the Exglifh on amaica, by the Barenefs

Inch Jong and black, the under’ Mandible being ftrair, the upper
of a fingular Make, diftinguifhing it from other Birds, for it was
arch’d, or round, rais’d high, flat and thin on the upper round Edge.
The Feet have three Toes before and one behind (tho’ Marcgrave
fays otherways.) The Legs are two Inches long and black as Jer, the
middle Toe before is one Inch andan half long, arai’d with a pretty
fhatp Claw, and the other Toes proportionable. The Colour of the
Feathers’ all‘ over is black.
The Stomach of ‘this Bird was pretty thick, it was very full of
Grafs-hoppers, Beetles, cc. disjointed and partly diffolv’d.
Ic haunts the Woods on the Edges of the Savannas, and is very com-
mon, making a loud Noife upon the fight of Mankind, which alarms
all the Fowl! in their Neighbourhood, fo that they are very prejudi-
cial to Fowlers, but on the other Hand when Negros run from their
Mafters, andare purfued by them in the Woods to be brought back to
their Service, thefe Birds on fight of them as of other Men, will make
a Noife and dire the Purfuers which way they muft take to follow

Circumvolutions of the Guts varicus, the Heart and Liver large, the
Stomach, was full of the Fariva and Stamina, contain’d in the inner
Part of the Flowers about which they conftantly hover, in fearch of
thefe Parts for their Nourifhment, they refting inthe fame Place on
their Wings, and putting in their long Bills to draw or take out the
aforefaid Parts, of which I found their Stomach by a Microfcope to
be crowded, the Excrement of the Belly is hard and whitifh.
They are always to be found where Flowers are.
Their Eggs are all white, and not fo large as a fmall Field Pea.
It makes a Noife in flying juft like an humble Bee. |
When they fly in Sunfhine, I think I never faw a more beautiful
Sight, the Feathers being moft delicately colour’d and tranfparent.
They as Maregrave fays, make a Noife in flying, Hur, har, har, with
their Wings beating againft the Air as a Wheel turn’d round, and
have no pleafant Note but what may be faid to be as that of the
Sparrow, cherping or Screp, fcrep, fcrep, asthe fame Marcgrave fays.
They are I think all the Year long in ‘famaica, but more plenti-
fully and in greater Variety after the Rains when the Flowers are
moft frequent.
Pifo’s Account of their coming from a Caterpillar as a Butterfly,
is altogether Fabulous.

Spleen-Stone.

This Stone which is very hard, is frequently found on the Shores

of this Ifland, among the Stones or Pebbles common there. I have
taken them up my felf about Port-Royst, and have had them cut
in Exgland, and they prov’d to be the fame with that Stone out of
which the Indians made their Hatchets, wherewith they ferv’d them-
felves in Place of Iron and Steel Tools, before the coming thirher
of
Europeans. Of which Hatchets I have fome I found in this Ifland.
This Stone is opaque of a green Colour, with fome pale Veins run-
ning through it very hard, and capable of a very fine Polifh.
‘They are cut intothin fquare Pieces, and Strings being ty’d to Holes
made in their Corners, they are faltned about the Arm, and thought
very much to help io the Stone and Hypochondriac AffeCtions, This
Opinicn I take to be owing to a fuperftitious Cuftom the Turks
and Mahometans have of wearing Sentences out of the Alcoran in

a very great Echo. From this Point‘to Windward, or to the Ea/f,
are great Savannas ot Meadows, Paftures and Sheep Walks, and to

One Morris, on Board of our Ship, knew the Land off-of the Bay of

Spaniards, by whom he had been takenin the Bay of Campeche, cutting
Logwood. He was carried firft to the Havana. He ‘told me he had
coalted the North-fide of the Tland of Caba, in a Channel which was
deep, and twenty League s broad betwee n‘the Ifland and the Shoals, near
the Bahema Iflands, that he had gone to St. Fago, on the South-fide
of Cuba, which he related to be a very fine Harbour. He faid, that
ufually the Spaniards, after having made Cape St. Antonio, kept clofe
by the Shore, that there was a great Curren t which came from ‘the
Eaft Winds to Leeward of that Cape, driving the Water into the Bay
of Mexico,and that che Waters forced in by the Winds, made the Curren t
of thé Gulf, and of that-fetting to Windw ard along the Channe l of Florida ,

to feveral Trades , as a Baker, Weaver , cc. and that he and enothe r
had made their Efcape s, by beatin g down a Stone Wall and gettin g

of the Cold in thefe Parts is thought to come from the Wind blowing
not only over the Ice and Snow in North America, but moftly from the
{ame blowing through the Trees and Branches loaded with Snow. The
Colour,of the Sea Water was now chang’d froma blue to greenifh ; we
were by Computation near the Banks of,, Newfoundland, where there
was, and. 1 was told always is, a wetting Fogg. Here, near the Tail
of the Bank we heaved the deep Sea Line to Ninety Fathoms, but
found no bottom. Hither come a great many Englifb and French to fifh

May 7. We had a fair Wind, which continued to the 16th, during

which time we try’d all Ways we could, to fpeak with Ships, (which
fhun’d us all they could) that we might learn News, and at laft difco-
vering a Sail on the 14th, our Fleet fpread at Diftances one from an-
other, that fo we might be fure one or other to hinder her from efcaps
ping, which fhe attempted, but on firing Ball at her, the Commander
came on board with his Papers or Documents. This Ship prov’d to
be a {mall French Veffel of Rochele, which was loaded partly with
Wine which had been taken in at Bourdeaux, and partly with other
forts of Provifions, bound for Canada, and thence to load Coals for the
Caribe-Iflands. He told us, that by his Reckoning we were Four Hun
dred Leagues from, Land, that they were des pauvres Gens, and des pauvres
‘Negotians, with Tears in his Eyes, which mov’d my Compaffion for his
Circumftances, as I do commiferate others in the like. This inclin’d me
to make the moft favourable Report for him, being the only Perfon in

his Stomach, but could not vomit. His Tongue fwell’d, was burning hot,
and he continually calling for Water; his Eyes were red and {ftaring,
and he very foon expir’d, The Indians put the Juice of the Tree into
the Notches of their Arrows, that the Wounds made with them, may
not heal, it being more poifonous than the Fruit. If .thofe Apples be
laid into a Prefs, where are Cockeoches, they will forfake ir. The
Trees are fcorch’d by fires made about them, before they are fell’d,
to prevent the Milk from getting into the Eyes. This Milk grows
into a Gum, like unto Gumm Guajacum, and us’d for it, which Mr.
Barham, being deceiv’d firft, try’d without any Mifchief, and after-
wards us’d it without any harm to his Patients, both in Tin@ture
and Subftance, curing Dropfies by voiding Water by Stool and Urine,
and after ufing the Decoction of Contrayerva and Sceel. But I think
I have feen very dangerous Symptoms arife from taking this Gum, inftead of the
