There was, not long since, sent hither out of _Germany_ from an inquisitive Physician, a List of several _Minerals_ and _Earths_ of that Country, and of _Hungary_, together with a _Specimen_ of each of them: among which there was a kind of _Lead-Ore_ which is more considerable than all the rest, because of its singular use for _Essays_ upon the _Coppell_, seeing that there is not any other _Mettal_ mixed with it. 'Tis found in the _Upper Palatinate_, at a place called _Freyung_, and there are two sorts of it, whereof one is a kind of Crystalline Stone, and almost all good Lead; the other not so rich, and more farinaceous. By the information, coming along with it, they are fetcht, not from under the ground, but, the Mines of that place having lain long neglected, by reason of the Wars of _Germany_ and the increase of Waters, the people, living {11} there-about take it from what these Forefathers had thrown away, and had lain long in the open Air. The use above mentioned being considerable, the person, who sent it, hath been intreated, to inform what quantities may be had of it, if there should be occasion to send for some. * * * * * _Of an Hungarian Bolus, of the same Effect with the Bolus Armenus._ The same person gave notice also, that, besides the _Bolus Armenus_, and the _Terra Silesiaca_, there is an Earth to be found in _Hungary_ about the River _Tockay_, thence called _Bolus Tockaviensis_, having as good effects in _Physick_, as either of the former two, and commended by experience in those parts, as much as it is by _Sennertus_ out of _Crato_, for its goodness. * * * * * _Of the New _American_ Whale-fishing about the Bermudas._
