Summary:
Disappointed to not see his name in "Linnean Transactions" list, which he otherwise enjoyed.
[Respecting Thomas Hoy's paper 'Account of a spinning Limax, or Slug' in "Linnean Transactions" vol 1] not surprised that a land 'Limax' should be found to spin, following his observations of marine animals of that or a neighbouring genus in moving about rock pools; believes that too many dissimilar animals have been confounded under name "insect", remarks in Latin, intends to write further on subject.
