Smith's paper read at Linnean Society meeting on 7 [October], where he also got additional subscribers to Linnean Society charter, bringing the total to £284 19s, and there is no doubt of the full sum being made. He and [Jonas] Dryander think it necessary for Smith to be in London about 15 November in order to consult about the Rules of the Society. Asks if Smith has any part of Persoon's "long lost paper on fungi". Time for another volume of "Linnean Transactions" to be published.

List of additional subscribers.

Requests two specimens of 'Papilio machaon', as he hears it is common about Norwich.

Thanks for Australian plants and "Flora Britannica", most prizes the 'Carex vera leporina'. Sending seeds of 'Sonchus alpinus', 'Astragalus arenarius', and 'Kitaibelia vitifolia'. Will send recently published part of his edition of "Species plantarum".
