Sending uncommon English plants for Linnean Society, hopes they will be useful for Smith's proposed "Flora Anglica". This summer toured Hampshire, Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall, describes habitats of plants found, including: 'Aster tripolium' at Portsmouth, Hampshire; 'Tamarix gallica' at St Michael's Mount, Cornwall; and 'Erica vagans' at Lizard, Cornwall, found with 'Ulex europaeus' and 'Erica cinerea'. Sends shells and paper on new species of 'Tellina'.

Encloses Linnean Society nomination certificate for Dr [Thomas] Rackett, signed by himself and [Richard] Pulteney. Sorry to have not yet sent specimens of 'Tellina rivalis', but pleased his paper on same met a favourable response.
