We received lately news from _Rome_, from a very Curious Person of our acquaintance, importing, that _Campani_ hath had the advantage of _Divini_. The Great Duke of _Toskany_, and Prince _Leopold_, his Brother, upon Tryal, made of both their Glasses, have found those of _Campani_ excel the other, and with them they have been able, easily to distinguish people {132} at 4 Leagues distance: Of which I intend you more particulars hereafter. Among them are expected the _Length_ of these _Telescopes_, and the Largeness of the _Aperture_ of their _Object-glasses_. In the mean time, the _Parabolical-glasses_, formerly mentioned to be in hand here at _London_, are finishing with all possible care and industry. * * * * * _A Further Relation of the _Whale-fishing_ about the _Bermudas_, and on the Coast of _New-England_ and _New-Netherland_._ The same Person, that communicated the particulars about the new Whale-fishing near the _Bermudas_, mentioned in the first of these _Tracts_, gives this further Information; That there have been since taken by order of the _Bermudas_ Company, sixteen of those Whales, the Oyle whereof, to the quantity of 50 or 60 Tuns arrived in _Ireland_ at _Limrick_, some few months agoe. He adds, that about two years since, there stranded upon the Coast of _New-England_ a dead Whale, of that sort, which they call _Trumpo_, having Teeth resembling those of a Mill, and its mouth at a good distance from, and under the Nose or Trunk, and several boxes or partitions in the Nose, like those of the Tailes in Lobsters; and that that being open'd there run out of it a thin oily substance, which would candy in time; after which, the remainder, being a thick fatty substance, was taken out of the same part, with a scoope. And this substance he affirmed to be the _Sperma Ceti_; adding further, that the _Blubber_, as they call it, it self, of the same sort of Whales, when stewed, yields on the top a creamy substance, which taken off, and thrown upon white wine, lets fall a dirty heterogeneous sediment, but what remains aloft, affords a _Sperma-Ceti_-like matter. {133} He concluded his relation with observing, that these whales were to be met with, between the Coast of _New-England_, and _New-Netherland_, where they might be caught eight or nine months in the year, whereas those about the _Bermudas_ are to be found there only in the Months of _February_, _March_ and _April_.
