Summary:
Discrepancies between 'Carex' listed in [John] Ray's "Historia plantarum" and "Synopsis"; surprised 'Carex caepitosa' is not in the "History", other 'Carex' anomalies. Asks Smith to remember 'Aconitum napellus' and 'Cammarum'. Disputes [Thomas] Woodward's statement that 'Arenaria verna' is probably not indigenous. Requests specimen of 'Conferva corallinoides' from [Samuel] Goodenough. Remarks on his 'Fucus multifidus'. Asks if Smith has seen Mr Rigby's treatise on sugar.
