_Fig._ 15. is evidently an Acorn. We have of this species here, and in America also. _Fig._ 16. An exotic fruit, like a small melon; but uncertain. It is somewhat deformed by compression. _Fig._ 17. This I took at first for a fruit; but now I rather believe it a Fungoides of a very pretty kind. _Fig._ 18. _An Anguria?_ I take it for a seed of a species of water-melon. _Fig._ 19. seems a small plumb-stone. _Fig._ 20. Unknown. The calyx seems to run up and embrace this fruit towards the apex. _Fig._ 21. Unknown. This resembles an American seed, which I have in my collection, but do not know its name. Its apex is inclining to one side; and it appears to have had a strong pedicle. _Fig._ 22. _An Lachryma Jobi?_ _Fig._ 23. A Cherry-stone. [Illustration: _Philos. Trans. Vol. L._ TAB. XVI. _p. 406_. IP _MD. delin._ _J. Mynde sc._] TAB. XVI. _Fig._ 1. _An Euonymi species?_ If this be an Euonymus, it is not so far advanced as to form the seeds: and is therefore to be considered only in its progress from the flower towards seeding: which is the case in several of these, whose calyces appear still upon them, and hinder us from absolutely determining what they are. _Fig._ 2. A berry of the Sapindus, or Soap-tree, of America, being not at all deformed, only having a little lump of pyrites upon it: but there is another quite free. _Fig._ 3. _Huræ Germen._ This is undoubtedly the young Sand-box, or fruit of the Hura, so well known for its beautiful form to the curious, who collect specimens of natural history; and seems to shew the time of the deluge. _Fig._ 4. This, I think, is certainly the stone of an eastern Mango; such as comes over to us pickled, and, the stone being opened on one side, is generally stuffed with spices. _Fig._ 5. _Euonymi latifolii species._ This is a large species of Euonymus, perhaps of Clusius. _Fig._ 6. This body seems to be a Milleped, or Wood-louse. It is turned round, the two extremities meeting; which is the attitude assumed by these animals, upon being in any-wise obstructed in their passage, or handled. _Fig._ 7. A small long Bean, like our horse-bean; but longer than any we have in England. _Fig._ 8. Unknown to me. _Fig._ 9. A species of Horse-chesnut from America. _Fig._ 10. The external husk of the fruit of the Sapindus, or Soap-tree. _Fig._ 11. I cannot determine whether this be an Olive, or the yellow Myrobalan; but believe it the Myrobalan. _Fig._ 12. _A Palmæ species?_ It seems a small Palma-coco. _Fig._ 13, 14. unknown, as well as _fig._ 15. _Fig._ 16. Unknown. The reason of the four last being not to be distinguished is, that they seem to be the buds of their several species, before they were perfectly formed. So that while some of the antediluvian productions are mature, others appear to be premature; and consequently one would be inclined to think them the inhabitants of places of different latitudes. _Fig._ 17. A species of foreign Walnut, injured and compressed.
