very earneft Solicitation from many People, for whomr | have

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

entring their Names, and Accounts receiv’d with them, in

my Library confifts of 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

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 which I had communicated 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

~ 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 over
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 labels 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

accordingly they did. I found myfelf obliged to take im.
mediate Care of all of them, and in the firft Place of thé |
Animal Subftances, which are moft fubje& to Deftruétion;
This was the more neceflary to be done with Attention,
becaufe as he hath taken great Pains to give the Synonymous
Names of Authors to fuch as were defcribed, fo there are
many of them fuch as’were not taken Notice of by
any Natural Hiftorian before him, and therefore his
Samples were to afcertain what he meant by fuch fhort
Names and defcriptive Titles, as are to be found in -his
Pieces, either Anonymous or fuch as were publickly’ owned
by him: Some few of them perhaps may be only Varie-
ties of thofe Produ€tions mentioned by other Writers,
and “not fpecifically different from what was defcribed
by them, but this could not be fo certainly determined,
without the very Originals from whence he took’ his Defcrip-
tions and Figures. Ihave taken as much Care as I can to
bring his Colleétions and Papers out of the Confufion 1
found themriff, and will take farther Care, that what he hath
gather’d together, by very great and undefatigable Induftry,
fhall not be loft, but preferved and publifhed for the good
of the Publick, doing right to his Memory, and my
own Reputatior. :
Upon thefe Confiderations, and mary more too tedious
to recite, I hope the delay of the coming out of this,
but very indifferent Book, will be pardon’d, and yet I think
it more curious then the firft Volume; and that, becaufe
there isan Account of the Animals, Oc. as alfo the Figures
of the Fruit Trees of Peru and many Parts of the World
hitherto unknown, and thefe drawn from the Life, in
their gatural Bignefs, and alfo the Profpetts of them,
wherein their manner of Growth, and tota facies is fhown at

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

‘Voyages to’be fo fill’d with Figures of Natural ProduGtions

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

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-

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

fome ‘confiderable Time before his Convulfive Symptoms
left him. He adds, that two or three Spoonfuls of the Juice

is good againft cold Swellings. A Planter gave the Powder
of the dried Root, which work’d upwards and downwards
as Ipecacuana, which he faid it was, but was as much mi-
ftaken, as thefe affirming the Subfequent to be the fame.
The Tryals or Ufe of the Root and other Parts of this Plant
feem to me to be very hazardous.
The fame Gentleman takes notice of the next Apocynum
erectum folio oblongo, flore umbellato, petalis coccineis re-
flexis. Cat. p. 89. Hift. Vol.1, p, 206, which he fays is
commonly call’d in Sfamaica Blood Flower, Wc. from its
ftopping Blood, when other Medicines fail’d. The Juice
injeted by a Syringe ftops the Bleeding of the Piles,.. A De-
coétion of the Leaves, Stalks, and Flowers, twice a Day for
five or fix Days cur’d a runnning Gonorrhea, that nothing
for twelve Months could ftop, after the virulence was. carried
off, and Balfamics came to be us’d, without any Gleet ; the
Flowers dry’d, drank as otherDea, cure Gleets. He fays
alfo, that'it is likely:to be good for the Fluor Albus.
The Root of this Plant was fent many Years ago tome
from Virginia, for the Root of Ipecacuanna in order to get
it fold, and a Commerce eftablifh’d for it; but obferving
that it was not right Ipecacuanna, 1 excufed myfelf from
difpofing of it, as not knowing what Mifchief might enfue
from the Ufe of an:unknown Root. Some Years fince Dr.
Burnet; who was fent over by the South-Sea Company to
take care of their'FaGtory at Porto Bell, or Puerto. Belo,
and who is well underftood in Natural Learning, at my
defire ferit me over fome natural Productions of that Country,
with the Ufes of them, and the Draughts or Defigns of
others taken by black Lead. Amongft thefe, moft.of which
stow in'Sfamaica, and are taken Notice of in. this Hiftory,
was the Draught of the above named Apocynum, and an
Account that the Spaniards and Inhabitants about that Place
took the Root \of this for that of the true: Ipecuacanna,
Some timeafter: Mr: Barham wrote me the Account of this
from ?famaica above-mentioned. Thefe Accounts, which 1

chad by degrees made me very careful in prefcribing that
Root for feveral Years, that unlefs the Patients earneftly de-
fired it, as being their cuftomary Vomit, or their Difeafe re-
quir’d it more particularly then another Vomit, I pre-
fcribed it with a little doubt and reluétancy, leaft this bad
kind fhould be given. When I wascertain, by the feveral
Circumftances abovemention’d, I defired the Cenfors of the
College of Phyfitians, and the Wardens of the Company of
Apothecaries, when they were going upon their fearch to
take particular care of this Drugg, fo much in ufe and
adulterated in fo dangerous a Manner. Jat the fame Time
fhewed them the Difference between the true [pecacuanna-
Roots, and thofe which refemble them very much and are
fo likely to do Mifchief, as may appear toany Body who
will: be at the trouble to compare Pifo and Marcgraves
Defcription of that Plant, which is only: known yet'to come
from Brafile, and that of thefe*Apocynums in my Catalogue
and Hiftory, of which I fhewed them the Samples.or Spect-
mens, agreeifig with the Draught from ‘Porto Bell, which 1
likewife fhewed them. I alfo had the falfe, and trie Roots,
which I likewife compared before them, whereby it ap-
pear’d, that the true:had a gray Bark, tho’ it varies fomething
from the Soil in which it grows, «many Rings and Wrinkles,
or Corrugations going round a String, Nerve, or Pith in
the Middle, and that there were feveral Fiflures or Cracks
of the: outward: Bark: quite to the Nerve; and that the
mealy parts of the Bark and: Nerve were whitifh.. In the
Root ‘of the Apocynum or -Falfe, the Colour: is dark,
browner, or of a yellowifh calft,: the Fiffures, «Wrinkles,
or Corrugations'fewer, and ythe — Bark: of ::the Root

arid turned as to ‘make acute ‘angles one part of the Root

I think I have endeavour’d in vain to remedy, after what
I vehemently fufpe& giving of this Root for the true, have
been prevented. I know it is alledged from what | have
faid p. 25. of my Introduction to Vol. J. that there is a wide
difference between frefh Roots and thofe dried; which tho’
poyfonous, become even Nourifhment in many Cafes ; but ’tis
alfo moft certain, that there are many dried Roots that are
mortal Poyfons ; and I fhould be loath to be the firft Ex-
perimenter of fuch a Matter, either upon myfelf or any
body elfe.

lour, and grow out of both the Trees, the Lignum Vite
and. Manifaneel, in the fame roundifh, or oval Shape, the

in the Weft-Indzes, fold for the true.
Another fault, I find with myfelf, is the Confufion there
is in the Quotations of Authors, in giving the Vertues of
Plants, ©¢. This indeed came partly from want of Time
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

cannot but take Notice of fome Paflages. Of thefe one was
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
like Nature a faithful Quotation of the Name of a fort of
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
mutt be given to:'them. The endeavouring to exprefs new
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

told of a great Critic, who notwithftanding I think he was

Learning and good Underftanding were commending the late
Dr. Spratt, Bifhop of Rachefter, for his writing the fineft

one Paffage more of a very good Scholar and Phyfitian,
who had a great “Averfionto_the late Dr. Radcliffe, and
would one Day endeavour to perfuade me, that he could
not cure a Difeafe, becaufe he had feen a Latin Prefcrip-
tion of his, wherein Pilula was wrote with a double Il
inftead of a fingle one. Ihave never obferv’d, that thofe
Phyfitians who regarded the Latin Turns and Words of
their Prefcriptions, more then the other material Things
to be confider’d, were more Fortunate in their Cures of
Difeafes then others, who took a fort of Lingua Franca

(being furnifh’d with all forts of Conveniencies and Ne-

Tournefort acquainted me, to difcover the Plants taken
Notice of by Hippocrates, Diofcorides, and other Greek
Phyfitians, whofe Defcriptions were very dark and fhort.
He had formed many Years a Projet of going into the
Countries where they lived, by that means to afcer-
tain in fome degree what thefe Simples were. ‘This
Gentleman, who was afterwards Phyfitian to the King

full.
perhaps not worth obferving, It is to be noted here, that
what is faid by fome of them, that the Fruits or Seeds
are the finis ultimus of the Plant, and therefore princi-
pally to be regarded in a Method, is not followed by
themfelves who only’ almoft go by the Pericarpium, Husk
or Seed Veffel, which parts of Plants are very often lets
confpicuous, for a fmaller time in view, and to be not
fo much regarded as the Leaves, Flowers, and other parts
of the fame Plant, and yet for a hair, or the like, ftanding
upon them, they will pretend, to overthrow what their
Predeceffors have fettled, as much as perhaps is neceflary
to the fullying their Memories, and which ts worfe, to
the bringing into Natural Hiftory fuch divers Names, that
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-

is thin, and ready ingreat Piecesto drop off, appearing fomewhat con-

This Tree hasa great many very long and great Roots with abun-
dance of fmaller Twigs, having a very yellow-colour’d Bark, by which
it is firmly fix’d into all Partsof the Earth near it, and fends up a very
large and {treight Trunc, fixty Foot or more high, cover’d with a light
brown-colour’d Bark, having here and there fome fuperficial Furrows, in
which appear a bright yellow Colour. The Wood is very firm, folid, and
of avery fine yellow Colour: The Branches are fpread_on every Hand,
and the Twigs are cover’d with a Bark of a more light Colour, fet with
Leaves, ftanding on fhort Footftalks. They are rough, dark green in Co-
lour, larger towards the Footftalk, from whence they endin a Point, and
fomething refemble E/m Leaves,only are longer; a great many Fads orCat-
kins come out at the Ends of the Branches,they are whitifh and fhort ; the
Fruit ftands on a Foorftalk, is as large as a Nutmeg, round, having its
Acini like the other Mulberries, of a greenifh Colour both without and
within the Pulp; there are init fome flat brown fmall Seed, like Lix/eed,
and before the Fruit comes to be ripe ’tis milky and not pleafant, but
wha come to Maturity ’cis pleafant to the Taite, altho’ very lufcioully

_ This Tree grows very quickly: Ihave feen Trees thirty or forty Foot
high in feven or eight Years Time.
It grows by the Banks of the Rio Cobre, near the Town of St. Fazo de /a
Vega,and in all the Plains of the North and South Sides of the Ifland.
It is fell’d and cut into Loggs to be fent for Europe, to be ufed by the
Dyers, for a yellow Colour, and ’tis worth Fifty Shillings ger Tun in fa-

- 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 by all-
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 yellowApices: And 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 a Melon.
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 of a yelowifh 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 of the Year.

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

and let the Reed continue there from Morning till Evening, and from E-
vening to Morning. The Fruit of this Tree, call’d Cocos, is as big as
the Head of a Mans or more. The fir(t Rind of this isgreen, and of the
Thicknefs of two Fingers, having in it certain Threads, wheréof they
make Cords, with which they tie their Boats. Under this Rind there isa
thick Shell, which they burn and make Powder of, and ufe it asa
Remedy for certain Difeafes. Under this Shell is a white Subitance, like
the Kernel of a Nut, being a Finger in Thicknefs, which they eat with
Fleth and Fifh, as we do Bread. It hath the Tafte of an Almond, and is
ufed in the ftead of Bread, when it is dry’d. In the Midft of this Ker-
nel is a clear and {weet Water, being very wholefome and cordial. This
Water fometimes congealeth, and lyeth within the Shell like an Egg.
When they intend to make Oyi of it, they lay it to putrify in Water,
and boil it until it be like Oy! or liquid Butter. When they intend to make
Vinegar, they fuffer only the Water to putrify, and then fet it in the Sun,
whére it becometh Vinegar, like that which is made of White-wine :
And when they mingle the Kernel with the Water which is in the midft of
the Fruit, and train it thro” a Cloth, they make a Milk thereof, like
Goats Milk. Thefe Date-Trees are like them that bare Dates, but
not fo full of Knots. With the Juice of two of thefe Date-Trees a
Family of ten Perfons may be maintain’d with Wine, ufing one

brittle but lafting; the outward white, foft and more apt to decay, the
Branches go out towards the Top, and are befet with many very {mall

The Wood for its fine greenifh brown Colour capable of Polifh, is
very much coveted in Exrope, wherefore ’tis a Commodity exported
from Jamaica ; tho’ ’tis quite different from the true black Ebony from

Dog-Wo0d Tree:
This Tree has a Trtific Twenty five Foot high, ftreight, having a Bark
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
jointed Matter, lie five or fix Seeds or Peafe, whitifh, quadragular and
oblong. When the Fruit is ripe, come the Leaves, wing’d like thofe
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:
fent Ufe, being near their Habitations. They take three or four little
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
the Tide, irc caufes them to turn up their Bellies, and fo they take as many
as they pleafe. This is a Providence of God to thofe barbarous People,
being a natural Help for prefent Food and Suftenance. Rob. Harcourt.

After the Sea has left many Fifh in Holes and Receffes brought thither
by the Tide, in their Boats they rub the Twigs of this a little beaten
into the Water, that a of the Bark may diffufe itfelf, and the
Fifh are fo fleepy as to fwim at Top and be taken with Hands. Pif.

Galibis and thofe of Cayenne, of which, if Sticks be made broad at the
Ends, and the Surface of the Ponds beaten therewith, the Fifh grow
drunk with the Noife, or rather Quality of the Wood, that they rife up
dead, and fuffer themfelves to be taken with the Hand by the Indians,
which I believe may be by the Wood of this Tree.
A Kind of Wood with which the Indians take their Fifh, they beat it
again{t fome Stone or Tree until one End thereof be all bruis’d, and put-
ting that into the River, prefently the Fifh become drunk, and run them-
felves on the Shoar and {wim above Water as our Haddocks do in England.

This Tree is frequently to be met with about Houfes, or where inthe
Spaniards ‘Time Plantations have been. Martyr tellsus that it was plan-
ted in Hé/paniola, Cuba, and Famaica by a Spaniard, aud that it brought {o
many Ants to it, that they hurt every Thing near it. The Pods or
Canesare us’d to purge the Belly of Choler, and the Blood of vicious
Humours, being pulped, and to cool the Kidneys, and generally thought
roper in Difeates of the Breaft. The Fruit, when green, is pre-
ferv’d by the Fers, and fent into Europe, which Paladanus fays he obferv’d
to bedone in Egypt. Hernandez fays that three Ounces of thefe preferv’d,
eaten, purge Flegm and Choler very eafily; and dcoffa fays, an Ounce
works well. They are firft when green and tender,’ fteep’d in Water,
and then boil’d and preferv’d. It grows in the Eaf Indies, but

rifing thirty Foot high, equally fpread on every Hand, the Leaves are

any of this Kind, I have obferved, of a dirty green Colour, fet on to

The Flowers fmell fo fweet and ftrong, that ’tis pleafant walking

It fweats out a mucilaginous red Gum, falfly taken for Opopanax,
but more truly might be ufed for Gum Arabic.
It grows about the Town of St. Fago dela Vega, and between it and
Paffagefort in the Plains very plentitully.

The Natural Hiftory of JAMAICA.
The Mangrove Tree.
This Tree rifes to thirty or forty Foot high, having a‘Trunc as big as
one’s Body, anda greenifh white, {mooth, Bark, with fome white Spots
here and there. The Tree has very many pendulous Branches {welling to-
wards their Ends, where are plac’d 9 or 10 Leaves fet on round them by a
half Inch long Footftalk, they are 4 Inches long and 2 broad, of the
Shape of thofe of Lawrocerafus, fmooth, thick, of a dirty green Colour,
and having one very large eminent Rib running the Length of the Leaf;
theFlowers ftand on an Inch long Footftalk, are compos’d of 4 thick. yellow
Petala, and asmany brown, with fome yellow Stamina in the Middle,
being withia cover’d with a yellow Farina, to which follow Pod-like
Subftances, having a Swelling at their Beginning, otherwife exadtly like
Bobbins, with which Bone- Laces are wrought, that Protuberance is rough,
and alittle redifh in Colour, about an Inch long, having within a Ca-
vity fitted to receive the {mall Ends of the Pod-like Subftances, and into
which they are fet, each of them is about fix Inches long, beginning flen-
der, fwelling by Degrees to near the End, whereit is biggelt, and from thence
ends inaPoint, exactly fhap’d like a Bobbin, havinga fmooth greenifh brown
Rind, and within no Cavity or Seeds, but a Pith and fungous mealy Sub-
ftance, which never ripens, or is otherwife than woody, for this Subftance in
a {mall Time is on the under Branches lengthned,and fhoots out ftreight,
hath a brown. Colour, the End very much fwell’d, and when ever it
comes to the Salt Water or Mud, there it ftrikes Roots every Way, and
in Procefs of Time becomes a Trunc, from the Tops of which Branches
fpring and propagate themfelves after the fame Manner, fomething like
that of the Ficus Indica. Theoph. {fo that whatever Branches are on the un-
der Parts of the Trunc of the Tree, take Root, looking like fo many Ar-
ches, and become Truncs themfelves in a very fhort Time, and thefe
Mangroves propagate themfelves after this manner for a great many
Miles in length along the Coafts and Rivers whither the falt Water
flows. |
What feems very ftrange in this Treeis, that the Pod-like Subftance
feems to be as it were one fingle Seed, which being planted in that fun-
gous Protuberance, by which it is faften’d to the Branch, thence as it were
grows and fhoots our till it comesto the Water or Mud, faftening its felf
and taking Root therein, what had been its Origin, Beginning, or Root
formerly, now becoming its Top and Germex: Icould never obferve any
black Pulp in this, as Oviedo did, neither any Seeds, but do firmly believe
it propagates.it felf after the aforefaid manner, herein differing fiom the
Indian Fig, which does it by Filamentsthrown down from the Branches
taking Root in the Ground. i! | .

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

Piementa, Famaica Pepper, or All-Spice-Tree.
This Tree has a Trunc as thick as ones Thigh, rifing ftreight up about
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
long, and two or three broad in the Middle, where broadeft, and whence
they decreafe ro both Extremes, ending in a Point, {mooth, thin, shining,
of a deep 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
Petala refle€ted downwards, of the fame Colour. To that follows many
crown’d or umbilicated Berries, (the Crown being made up of four {mail
Foliola, or Leaves) at firft, when {mall greenith, but when ripe, larger
than Juniper Berries, being black, fmooth ‘and fhining, containing in
a wet, greenifh, Aromatick and biting Pulp, two large Acini, feparated
by a Membrane lying between them, each whereof is a Hemifphere, and
both making a Globe, or perfeétly round, appearingly one Acinus, whence
Clafivs makes it one Seed divifible into two Parts. oo
It grows on the hilly Parts of this Ifland, but chiefly in the North-
fide thereof, and now is left ftanding, when other Trees are fell’d, and
planted in feveral Plantations, becaufe of the Protit from the cured Fruit
{ent in great Quantities yearly into Exrope,
It flowers in Fane, Fuly and Auga/t, but-in feveral Places fooncr or
later, according to their Situation and different Seafon for Rains, and
after if flowers the Fruit foon ripens ; but ’tis to be obferv’d, that in
clear’d open Grounds, ’tis fooner ripe than in thick Woods. |
The Leaves are very much made Ufe of in Baths for ‘Hydropick Legs,
oc. by the Indians, Negroes and Surgeons, and may be fubltituted
wherever Bay Leaves are thought ufetul, they refembling them in
every thing. | 7 |
There isno great Difficulty in the Curing or Preferving of this Fruit.for
ufe. The Negroes and Indians climb fome Trees, ‘cut down orhers,
and pulloff the Twigs with the unripe green Fruit, which ate f{epara-
ted from the ‘I'wigs, Leaves, and ripe Berries, gnd are afterwards {pread
on Cloths expos’d to the Sun, from it’s Rifing to it’s Setting fot Many
Days, whereby they become dry, rugofe, and from a green, change toa
brown Colour, and then are fit for the Market, where ’tis ufually fold

The ripe Berries are very carefully feparated from thofeto be cured, be-
caufe their wet and plenteous Pulp makes them unfit for Cure, whence
thefe Berries always coming unripe dry’d into Ewrope, has been the Oc-
cafion of Naturalitts thinking it to be frac umbilicato ficco.
In Curing, the Dews muft carefully be avoided.
Ic may defervedly be ’counted one of the beft Spices in common Ute,
having a very fine Relifh of many, from thence called Ad-Spice, and
being much milder than any of our ordinary Spices, ’tis very much
fought after and imported into Ezrope. | ,
It yields with Water by Diitillation a delicate odoriferous Chymical
Oyl per Veficam, finking tothe Bottom in Water, as Oyl of Cloves.
Tis Binding, Drying, and may have the fame Effe€ts with Cloves
and is now ufed inftead of other Spices,
It may bea Saccedineum and good for any thing that Myrtles are.
Every thing inthis Tree agrees with the Defcription of the Xocox-
ttla, or Piper Tavafct, of Hernand, and Ximenes in the Spanifh Tranflationt
of Hernan. Printed at Mexico, f. 2. only the Flower, which he defctibes to
be fearlet and like Pomgranates with the Smell of Orange-Flowers,
no way agree to this.
Clujivs thinks this Heating, Binding, and Drying as the Amomum of
Diofcortdes, which it is very hike, only fome few Marks are wanting, and
he feems to be of Opinion, that this is thé G-ryophyllon Plinij, his De-
{ctiption agreeing to this, fmelling, very {weet and for that Reafon
if chaw’d, takes away a ftinking Breath. But ’tis not likely that “this

It is ufed for Carpobalfamum, which is quite a different Fruit. Berlg

Francifews Uria brought it from Neib Spain to Redi, and fdid it was

Redt) be granted to have the Properties of Juniper, Cloves, Pepper and
Cinamon, but in thofe two Diftempers I have long tryed it omdivers
Subjects without Succefs; neither do I believe it hurts in thofe Cafes,
but think it does not a little help the Head and Stomach if in Time
and Place it be moderately given. Red. Exp. Nat. p. 136.

as its Succedaneum, being lefs adftringent, and Balfamick, but more odorife-

fall off, and in their Place come Tufts of Flowers, four or five together,
on fcarce any Footftalks; they are pale green, pentapetalous with fome
Stamina of the fame Colour, and {mell very fweet; to thefe follow
oval black Berries, about the Bignefs of fmall Sloes, cleaving into
two for the moft Part, whence the Name. After thefe come the
Leaves, they ftand on one tenth of an Inch long Footftalks, are three
Inches long, one broad in the Middle, very foft and woolly, of a yel-
lowith green Colour, except the Ribs which incline to red.
It is to be met with in feveral Places of the Ifland towards the Caymanes,

The Sope-Berry, or, The Sope Apple-Tree,
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,
The Beads made of this Stone, turn’d, and the bitter Kernel taken

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

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 ee
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. | = ——

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
Fruit; the, Seeds are very many, a flat, finuated, rr

ever it touches, and not only fo, but even the Excrements of the Belly,
fo that feveral have thought themfelves to have had Veins broken within,

This fometimes fweats out a mucilaginous Gum like Gum-Arabic,
given in the Srone, and called by the Spaniards Algwitira de la tierra
as Ximenes tells us, which is Gum-Tragacanth of the Earth.
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-

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

I faw this Plant in Mr..Worleys Plantation, about two. Miles be-
low the Town, on the other Side of Rio Cobre, where it. was, planted
by him, being brought from the main Continent of America by a Spa-

neel. But altho’ there were many Plants here and in other. Places of
the Ifland, yer they never could obferve that Worm upon any of their

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 but
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

Trees it catries its Eggs on its Legs and Breaft, and gets the Colour
from the Opeatia, being paler or yellower on the Acacias: Two Slaves

one out of another towards. the Ground, and are like the Leaves of
ordinary PricklysPears, only of a deeper green Colour, longer and nar-

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

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

The Shells of this Fruit were made Ufe of by the Canibals in their
Conjurations, being empty’d of their Pulp and, fil?’d with Stones or
Maix, adocn’d with Feathers, ftuck into the Ground by Handles faften’d
to them, and when handled by their Paygt or Conjurers, after their having
taken Tobacco, were faid to return them their Anfwers. Thevet. Claf.

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-

This Worm was from the Head, ‘which was ‘very large, to the Tail,
about two Inches and a half long, it was as big as one’s Thumb,
confilted of twelve Aznuli or Sections, comprehending: the’ Head::and
Tail, and was almoft white, fmooth and fhining, bating fome fmall, fhort
Hairs here and there. The Wrinkles, Furrows or Sa/czt between the
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-
lour, fomewhat hairy, and harder than the reft ; ic had by the Mouth,
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 of a 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,
white Threads went from them into the Far, as alfo from the oval,
brown Holes, Trachea, or, Windpipes into the Worm. I could not ob-
ferve the Guts, from the Mouth to the Avas, to be wider in one Place
than another; they had one Circumvolution or two before they ended
in the Rectum, and were partly fil?d with a vifcid, yellowifh, brown
Juice.
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 fought after by Negroes and Indians, and boyl’d in theie

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,

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.

are found the beft Pearls of the Weft-Indies, which are fifh’d up at both
Santa Martha and Margarita (lands in the North-Seas, and the Pearl Iles
near Panama in the South-Sea. They eat the Oytters at both Places.
The Pearl partakes of the Colour of the Shell, as may be {een in thofe

which are purplifh blue, fome that are reddifh, and the Bohemia and

HE Mouth, Teeth, and other Parts of the Shells of thefe Ani-

the foregoing Balani whom they much refemble) which they appear to
haveonly at firft View. They are cover’d on the outfide with Prickles of
feveral Shapes and Sizes which are fet on to Studs or Balls on the out-
fide of the Shells plac’d in Rows, and have Sockets or are hollow’d on their
under Pare making a Joint on which they can move every Way:
J have fcen them at the Bottom of the Sea ufe them inftead of Legs and
move fwiftly, and direct them towards the fame Point, as in an Army
Pikemen ufed to turn their Pikes. The ordinary ones found on the Coatts
of England and on the Southern Coatts of Frazce are eaten as Oyfters in
the laft of thefe Places. Many of their Shells are found inclos’d and fll’d
with Chalk in the Chalk Pits of Ket, where they are call’d Chalk-
Eggs, and are fuppos’d to contain in them a finer fort of Chalk us’d
to cure Loofeneiles, and are therefore laid by and preferv’d by the Work-
men. I haveone from near Gailford in Serry which is half Chalk and
half tranfparent Chryftal. More of thefe Kinds are found foffil than of
the other forts of Shells which are found under Ground. Some are found in
Klint, and the feveral Parts of their Shells as their Mouths and other
Pieces are alfo found with them and their Prickles of which the La-

taken up near Hanover at a Place call’d Monganar. They feem very

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 Gut is 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. —

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.

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

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

a Noife and dire the Purfuers which way they muft take to follow
their Blacks, who otherwife. might live always in the remoter inland
Woods in Pleafure and Idlenefs. sexe

times two behind. ve :

which the Indians made their Hatchets, wherewith they ferv’d them-

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-

April. 25. We had a NV. W.. Wind, a pretty ftrong Gale and fair
Weather, which is ufual here .with this Wind.
May 6, We had a Fair Wind, Courfe, E. by VV. Wind W. by’S. with hazy
fozsy Weather; the Wind was.now warm, two Days before ic had been
excefhive cold, when the Wind was at orth. The exrream Sharpnefs
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
on the Bank great Cod, and near the Shorea imaller fort call’d poor
Jack. Several Hundreds of Sail, fome of great Burthen, come irom
France yearly. ‘They, lie driving on the Banks feveral Months a fifh-
ing, but muft not, come within fight, or make the Land otherwife, b
Articles, as I was told, between borh Nations, they are lawful Prizes to the
Englifb, They, put up the firft, call’d mud Fifh, in, Salt they bring
from France, and ip. fome Months return loaded. On the Banks are
likewife found Mackarells, Herrings, Holibuts, cc. They makea Bait
of the Tail of the firft Cod they catch. On the Land they dry them
On Stages, by turning them very often in the Sun. We faw a great
many middling fized Gulls of a grey Colour like our Eaglifh large
Gulls grey above, and white underneath. ‘They iwim about, and attend
to devour the Guts thrown away by the Fifhers.
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
the Fleet who could underftand his Papers. I have been told that fuch
as he, ufing the Trade of fifhing on their own Coafts for poor Jack, being
ask’d fuch Queftions and returning fuch Anfwers, is the Occafion of that
Miftake and bad Tranflation of pawvres Gens for pauvre Jean, which
‘in Exglifh, 1s poor John, or Fack, and from whence comes the common con-
temprible Expreffion of our Seamen calling the French or Spaniards of their
own Trade, fack Frenchman, or Sack Spaniard. I fearch’d his Papers,
and read hisLetters to the Governor of Quebec, whither he was bound,
but without being able to difcover by them, or his Crew, that there was
War between the Englifo and French, tho’. by the Fears he fhew’d of
his being’ made Prize, we thought ic might be fo. However, we

had receiv’d between Wind and Water, in the fide ‘of ‘his Ship, and kept
after us till ic grew dark, and then he fteer’d away, we believ'd, his for-
mer Courfe. I faw floating in the Sea a’large Piece of drift Wood, or

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
