Steigertahl recommends Mr Fleischbein, who wants to see Sloane’s collection of curiosities. Mr de Berstorf forwarded a letter from Mr Eckard in Hanover. Steigertahl asks that Sloane pass his compliments to Isaac Newton and Dr Haly at the Royal Society’s next assembly. Mr de Bernstorf has a curiosity to show Sloane. Steigertahl would like to know if Sloane hears from Dr Haly, as he would like Haly’s opinion on the above. The King and his sons are doing well.

SIR, – I have received, after much search, three sorts
of beans from the north-west islands of Scotland, which
are thrown up by the sea from the north-west great
ocean, and gathered in plenty on those north-west shores,
and are such as grow in Jamaica, viz. the bean called
there cocoons, that called horse-eye bean, and the ash-
coloured nickar, or bonduch. You will find them all in
my Catalogue, under those vulgar names, by the index;
there is also a fourth sent me thence, which is, I think,
the
Avellana quadrifida, J. B. Where its natural place
is I know not; but the others you may find their countries
by the authors which I speak of them, for they must come
to Scotland by the currents of the sea. I have heard of
some thrown up in England, and should be glad to have
your thoughts of this matter. The small coral in Fal-
mouth Road you may see I found in England, and had
it from the Magellan Straits. I beg your pardon for this
trouble.
London, Sept. 11, 1696.
