Transcription
Ray will return the last of Sloane’s Maryland plants soon. He asks Sloane to make corrections for him. Ray does not understand why he is not attracting subscribers for his Supplement. He has received a letter from Tentzelius, who wants to know the Royal Society’s feelings about the bones dug up at Tonna. There appears to be some dispute regarding the matter. 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]).
