Transcription
Breyne sends a treatise on fossils. He wants to read Sloane’s Natural History of Jamaica and asks him forward letters to Dr Howard and Mr Petiver. Johann Philipp Breyne (1680-1764) was a German botanist, zoologist, and entomologist known primarily for his work on the Polish cochineal, or Porphyrophora polonica, used in red dye production. He became a fellow of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 1715 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Philipp_Breyne).
