Invites Pulteney to become a FLS; news of the Linnean Society, including intentions, members, fees, and collections. Botanical news: 'Calycanthus praecox' in flower this winter; discovered that 'Schrebera' is only 'Myrica aethiopica' with a 'Cuscuta' on it, intends to publish this and other observations in a volume "Observationes Botanicae", but at present occupied in publishing "Icones plantarum"; Kew catalogue published in June.
Young [Joseph Franz] Jacquin staying in Britain for most of the summer. [Thomas] Marsham publishing an "Entomolgia Britannica". His herbarium now in better order than when he was at Chelsea, offers its services.
