Transcription
Ray thanks Sloane for the parcel. He discusses his plans for the History of Insects, for which he has consulted Mr Stonestreet’s collection. Ray and Mr Dale have also compared their findings to Sloane’s specimens. They would like to view Sloane’s blue papilios. Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).
