all short leaves, or seed vessels mentioned in the former; which makes
me apt to believe it the same, gathered in a different state; besides the
broad leaves of that and this agree as to their shape and indentures.

AN ACCOUNT OF SOME FISHES THAT ARE FIGURED IN PLATES 2 AND 3 FISHES.
Plate 3 Figure 5. This is a fish of the tunny kind, and agrees well
enough with the figure in Table 3 of the Appendix to Mr. Willughby's
History of Fishes under the name of gurabuca; it differs something, in
the fins especially, from Piso's figure of the guarapuca.
Plate 3 Figure 4. This resembles the figure of the Guaperva maxima
caudata in Willughby's Ichthyol. Table 9.23 and the guaparva of Piso, but
does not answer their figures in every particular.
Plate 2 Figure 2. There are 2 sorts of porpoises: the one the
long-snouted porpoise, as the seamen call it; and this is the dolphin of
the Greeks. The other is the bottle-nose porpoise, which is generally
thought to be the phaecena of Aristotle.
Plate 2 Figure 7. This is the guaracapema of Piso and Marcgrave, by
others called the dorado. It is figured in Willughby's Ichthyol. Table
0.2 under the name of Delphin Belgis.
