HAving since the Publishing my First Century received several Collections of Plants from my kind Friends in diffe­rent parts of the World, as also divers Ani­mals, viz. Beasts, Birds, Fishes, Serpents, Insects, &c. with many Shells and some Fos­sils: I presume it may not here be amiss to give these Gentlemen, and such as for the future design me Collections of any of the aforementioned, some short Instructions or an easie Method, how to preserve these things and send them with very little Charge or Trouble, Viz.

First, All small Beasts, Fishes, Serpents, Lizards and other Fleshy Bodies capable of Corruption, are easily preserved in Rack, Rum, Brandy or any other Spirits, or in a strong Pickle or Brine of Sea-Water; to every Gallon of which put Three or Four Handfuls of Common or Bay Salt, with a Spoonful or two of Allom poudered, and so send them in any Pot, Bottle, Jarr, Cask or other Vessel.

Secondly, After the same manner may be sent all pulpy moist Fruit, either large or small that is apt to decay or rot, as Apples, Cherries, Cowcumbers, Oranges and such like, to each of which and all other Fruits, its desired you will tye a Sprig of its Leaves.

Thirdly, As to Fowls, those that are large, if we cannot have their Cases whole; their Head, Legs and Wings will be acceptable: but smaller Birds are easily preserved Entire, by opening their Bodies which is best done, by cutting them under the Wing, and take out their Entrals, and then stuff them with Ockam or Tow mixt with Pitch, or Tar, and being throughly dried in the Sun, wrap them up close and keep them from Moisture.

Fourthly, In Collecting of Plants, pray observe to get that part of either Tree or Herb as hath its Flower, Seed or Fruit on it, but if none, then gather it as it is, and if the Leaves which grow near the root of any Herb, differ from those above, be pleased to get both to compleat the Specimen, these must be put into a Book or into a Quire of Brown Paper (which you must take with you) as soon as gathered, and once a Week shift them to a fresh place, to prevent either rotting themselves or Paper.

All small Seed and dry Fruit as Nuts, Pods, Heads, Husks, &c. need no other Care, but to be leisurely dried and wrapt up in Paper, to each of these if you add a Leaf or two and a Flower it will be the more instructive, and also a piece of the Wood, Bark, Root, Gum or Rozin of any Tree or Herb, that is remar­kable [Page]for its Beauty, Smell, Use or Vertue.

In relation to Insetts, as Beetles, Spiders, Grashoppers, Bees, Wasps, Fire-Flies, &c. these may be Drowned altogether as soon as caught, in a little wide mouth'd Glass or Vial of the aforesaid Spirits or Pickel, which you may carry in your Pocket. But all Butterflies and Moths or Night Butterflies, being such as have mealy Wings, which may be rub'd off with the Fingers, these must be put into your Pocket-Book, or any other smalt Printed Book as soon as caught, after the same manner as you do the dry Plants.

There needs no Art in sending Shells, but in choosing such as have their Snails or Fish in them, which may be easily taken out, by boyling them as soon as you come home: The Sea-shells will be very acceptable, yet the Land and Fresh water ones are the most rare and desirable.

All coloured Earths, Clays, Minerals, Me­tals and Ores to be taken up as you find them, as also such Form'd Stones as have any resem­blance to Shells or Bones, as Vertebrae, &c. these must be got as entire as you can, the like to be observed in Slates that have the impression of Plants, Fishes, Insects or other bodies on them: These are to be found in Quarries, Mines, Pitts, Caves or where-ever the Earth is laid open.

These Directions being very short and in General for want of room here, I therefore recommend you for more particular Enquiries to the Honourable Mr. Boyle's General Heads for Natural History, proposed to Travellers and Navigators. Printed at London 1692. 12o.

N. B. As amongst Plants the most com­mon Grass, Rush, Moss, Fern, Thistles, Thorns or vilest Weeds you can find, will meet with the same acceptance as a Scarcer Plant, so in all other things the most common as well as rare, i e. whatsoever you meet with, will be Welcome to

SIR,
Your most Obliged and Humble Servant JAMRS PETIVER.

London, Printed for S. Smith and B. Walford at the Princes Arms in S. Paul's Church Yard. 1698.

AN ABSTRACT Of what Collections I have received the last Twelve Months, and the Persons whom I am Obliged to for them. Viz.

1. MR. GEORGE ALFREY, Surgeon to Capt. HALLEY in his late Expedition, was so kind to make me some Collections of Plants on the Coast of Brasil.

2. Mr. EDWARD BARTER, at Cape Coast in Guinea. From this Person I lately received 3 or 4 Quires of Plants, with some Medicinal Roots, &c.

3. Mr. JACOB BOBART, Botanick Professor of the Physick-Garden at OXFORD, hath favoured me with some Plants I had not before seen.

4. Mr. SAMUEL BROWNE, Surgeon at Fort S. George in the East-Indies. To the indefatigable Industry of this Worthy and Generous Person, I am beyond expression obli­ged, for his large and frequent Performances; in not only ga­thering himself, but constantly employing several Persons to make Collections for me, and many of them some days Journy up the Country, from such Places we never yet saw any Plants before. And to most of these he has added their Indian Names, and the Vertues to such as are known to have any.

I have this Year (besides several before) received near 20 Volumes in Folio, filled with fair and perfect Specimens of Trees and Herbs, and amongst them some from China, the Island of Ceilon, &c. He hath also procured me a Correspondence with divers Ingenious Persons residing in remoter Parts; and the like I could heartily wish my other Friends would do.

5. Mr. EDWARD BULKLEY, another Ingenious Surgeon at the same Place. This curious Person hath lately been Pleased to send me thence 3 Volumes of Medicinal Plants, with their Names and Vertues annext; as also some Seeds, and a Ma­teria Medica from Tonqueen; and formerly some from Persia. From this obliging Gentleman I have also farther Promises of [Page] Yearly Collections, as well from several other Parts of India, as of such as grow about him.

6. The Reverend Father GEORGE CAMELLI, a learned Jesuit; who hath been pleased to transmit to Mr. Ray and me, the Designs of such rare Medicinal Plants, with a large Account of their Vertue, Use, &c. as he hath experienced, and observed them to grow amongst the Philippine Islands, where he resides; some of which are already Published, and we hope e [...]er long to gratifie the World with something more from him.

7. Mr. WILLIAM CLERK, Surgeon, brought me lately some Plants and Seeds from Turkey.

8. Capt. JOHN CONWAY, my hearty and kind Friend; who, besides the care he took of several Collections, sent me from Fort St. George, the Cape of Good Hope, &c. pro­cured me himself some Quires of Plants from the New Fort called Fort St. David, which is about 50 Leagues S. W. from Madrass.

9. Mr. CHARLES COOMBS, Surgeon, was so kind to collect me some Plants at Calabar, on the Coast of A­frica; as also some others with some Insects from Maryland.

10. Mr. JAMES CUNINGHAME, Surgeon. A Learned and most industrious Promoter of Natural Philosophy, and extremely well qualified for such a Design; as I am very sensible, by the curious Remarks he hath made on most of the Plants, &c. he hath observed: having in a late Voyage to China made Collections wherever he touched, viz. 1. At Palma, one of the Canary Islands. 2. About Batavia in the Island of Java. 3. and 4. At Emuy and Colonshu, two Chinese Islands; from whence he also procured me the Paintings of near eight hun­dred several Plants in their Natural Colours, with their Names to all, and Vertues to many of them. In his return he visited the Streights of Malacca, the Cape of Good Hope, Island of Ascen­sion, &c. at all these Places he not only collected Plants, with the Seeds of most of them, but also Insects, Shells, &c. and in­deed whatever came in his way. A farther and more particu­lar Account of these and many other things, the Publick may in time be acquainted with.

11. My kind Friend Mr. JOHN FOXE, Surgeon, sent me formerly a Collection of Plants, which he gathered at the Cape of Good Hope, and very lately some Shells from thence, as also 3 Quires of Plants from the Bay of Bengale.

12. The Reverend Mr. HUGH JONES, A very curious Person in all parts of Natural History; particularly in Fossils; some of which he hath sent me from Maryland, with several Volumes of Plants very finely preserved; with divers Insects and Shells. From this obliging Gentleman, I am promi­sed frequent remittances of whatever those Parts afford, as well Animals & Fossils as Vegetables.

13. Mr. JEZREEL JONES. This worthy and kind Gentleman, in one Year whilst he was in Portugal (Secretary to his Excellency Mr. METHWYN our now Envoy) was pleased to make me considerable Collections every Month, of all the Plants he there observed, which he very curiously pre­served: and after the same Monthly method, he sent me a great number of Insects; amongst them there were several altoge­ther New to me and Strangers in England. To these he added what Shells and Fossils he there met with, as also some curious Reptiles.

It were heartily to be wisht, that the Zeal and Industry of this Inquisitive Person, were imitated by such other curious Gentlemen, as may have occasion to travel or reside in more re­moter Parts.

14. Mr. ROLESTON JACOBS. This young Gentleman was pleased to pick me up such curious Shells he met with amongst the Spicy and neighbouring Islands, being all or for the most part very fair as well as uncommon Shells.

15. Mr. WALTER KEIR. To this ingenious Sur­geon I am obliged for some Plants, &c. he sent me from Je­bore, in the Streights of Malacca, and I am in expectation of greater Performances from him.

16. Dr. DAVID KREIG, a German, Physician, and Fellow of our Royal Society. This curious Gentleman, after he had made several Remarks on the Natural Productions of this I­sland, and Painted several things he had here observed; was pleased to make a Voyage to Maryland, from whence he retur­ned plentifully stored with what in Nature he had there taken notice of. His happy Genius in Designing, Painting, Etching, &c. were no small Additions to his other Qualifications; he being no less versed in the Study of Physick, than Anatomy, Bo­tany, Chimistry, Natural Philosophy, and indeed whatever else is requisite to compleat a Physician.

17. Mr. SYLVANUS LANDON. Besides the Obligations I lye under to this worthy Gentleman and most in­genious Surgeon, for several Plants he formerly brought me from Cales, Alicant, Carthagena, and other Ports in Spain, and after that from the Island of Borneo in the East-Indies, with some very curious Serpents from thence: he hath been pleased late­ly to present me with the well-preserved Samples of such Trees, Herbs, &c. he has in a late Voyage observed on the Island of Flores; to these he has added the Shells of that and some other Islands in the East-Indies. In his return home, he also pro­cured me the Remains of Dr. Oldenlands Collections at the Cape of Good Hope, with divers Reptiles, as Serpents, Lizzards, &c. from that most luxuriant Promontory.

18. I am very much oblig'd to Mr. GEORGE LONDON his Majesty's Gardener, who was pleased to present me with [Page]two Volumes of dry Plants, very curiously Preserved, and col­lected at Maryland by my worthy Friend the Reverend Mr. Hugh Jones.

19. Mr. HENRY PASMORE. This Reverend Person was so kind to transmit me some Collections of Plants from the Island of Jamaica, with Promises of greater supplies, which I doubt not but he had performed had not Death pre­vented him.

20. Mr. RICHARD PLANER, Surgeon. This ingenious and hearty Friend made me formerly some Collections of Plants, Shells and Insects at Mount Serrado on the Coast of A­frica: and in a Voyage since he got me other Collections from those Parts, with some very curious Insects off the Coast of Carthagena.

21. From Madam MARGARETHA HENDRINA van OTTEREN, Widow to that late most curious Botanist and Physician Dr. OLDENLAND, at the Cape of Good Hope, I have lately received the compleat Specimens of several Plants, very finely Preserved, and many of them such as I had not seen before; so that I am extremely obliged to this so generous a Benefactress, not only for these I have already received from het (and those formerly from her Learned Hus­band) but also for her kind Promises, in continuing to send me over whatever Plants that Fertile Promontory produces, with such Shells, Insects, Reptiles, Fossils, &c. as are there to be got.

22. Mr. JOHN RAY. To this most celebrated and worthy Author I stand indebted for many Favours, and parti­cularly this last Summer, when I was with him, for some En­glish Insects he was pleased to give me, which I had not be­fore seen.

23. Mr. ROBERT RUTHERFORD, Surgeon. This hearty Person and kind Friend gathered me several Plants in Carolina, with some Insects and Shells he there observed. He hath also as I desired obliged some curious Persons that re­side there, to hold a constant Correspondence with me.

24. Dr. FREDERICK RUYSCH, Anato­mick and Botanick Professor in Amsterdam. To this most curi­ous Person I am extremely obliged for several uncommon Rep­tiles, Insects, &c. which he was pleased formerly to favour me with; and since that I have received from him divers Ex­otick Plants, some of which I have not before not since seen.

25. Mr. STOCKER. This kind Person (and altoge­ther a Stranger) was pleased to bring me a Collection of Shells, which he had pickt up in the Bay of Bengale, amongst them there were some very Curious.

26. Mr. ALEX. SYMPSON, Surgeon. This Gen­tleman was so kind lately to present me with the Samples of some Plants, very well Preserved, which he had observed about Gallipoli in Apulia.

27. Dr. PITTON TOURNEFORT, Physici­an, one of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and Botanick Profes­sor of the Royal Garden at PARIS. To this Celebrated Bota­nist I am obliged for some Alpine and Pyrenaean Plants he lately sent me, and am daily in expectation, according to his Pro­mises, of greater Collections from him.

28. Mr. RICHARD WHEELER. This Person, my kind and hearty Friend, hath for many Years past, and doth still continue to send me all the Plants and Insects which he can get or procure me, about Long-Sound in NORWAY: ma­ny of the First being rare with us, and only to be met with in the North of England, and divers of the last are such I have not yet seen about London.

P. S. I hope the Generous Example of these Cu­rious Persons, will excite and encourage others, who Travel to or Reside in Foreign Parts, to do the like for me; especially since the Preserving of all Animals, Vegetables and Fossils, is so easily performed accor­ding to my Printed Directions, which I am ready and free to give, to all such as will be so kind to make Col­lections for me, and as I have elsewhere hinted, the most Common as well as Rare, i. e. Whatever they meet with, either of Plants, Shells, Insects, Fossils, &c. will be highly acceptable to me, and shall, on all Occasions, be gratefully acknowledged, by

Your most obliged and humble Servant, JAMES PETIVER.
