[_Fol. 1._] WORTHY SR,--my due thanks premised I at present acquaint y^w y^t y^w have very well named y^e Rutilus & expressed fully y^e cours to bee taken in y^e imposition of names viz y^e most obvious & most peculiar difference to y^e ey or any other sens. I am farther to say y^t y^e icon of y^e weazeling came not to my hands, pray bee pleas'd to look amongst y^r papers perhaps it might bee laid by through some accident or other [I have _added above_] y^e figures of y^r anas macrolophos, & of y^e mergi cristati [_see Note 124_] & of y^e pristis y^t which came from Cornwall was of y^e gladius, y^e name of sword fish being applied to both of them by our nation. It seemeth by y^w y^t y^e Norwich aspredo is not y^e Ceruna fluviatilis contrary to what Camden affirms, for y^e rutilus mentioned in mine to y^w differs toto coelo from y^e ceruna--The difference of y^e Elks bill by y^w signified is remarkable to distinguish it from others of its own kind. [_See_ p. 83 _supra_.] The crackling teal seems [clearly _crossed out_] to bee y^e same which Dr Charleton[130] mentions in his Onomasticon under y^e name of y^e cracker,& showing him y^r description hee acknowledged to bee y^e same, y^e clangula I know noe more of than reading hath informed mee, a willock I have seen brought from Greenland where they are said exceedingly to abound, but never y^t [thought?] either of them was found in England, & having [not _added above_] taken sufficient notice of it y^e later, crave y^r description off both. [130] In Charleton's "Onomasticon," at p. 99, the Cracker is called by him, _Anas caudacuta_, and is said to be the "Gaddel" of the London dealers in fowl. [_See Note 125._]
