Fig. 1, 3. These two bodies seem to be figs, petrified when hard and green; being, as I have just observed, then capable of receiving the pyritical particles, with which they are manifestly impregnated. One is more perfect in its form than the other; and they are now shooting their salts, and will soon fall to pieces.
Fig. 2. appears to be a Myrobalan, distinguished from the other species of that name by its round figure; and is called the belleric Myrobalan. It is nearly destroyed by the pyritical matter, and will not long remain whole.
Fig. 4. seems to be a species of Phaseolus, one of those especially distinguished by the fruits. Fructibus splendentibus nigris.
Fig. 5. Another Phaseolus.
Fig. 7. Another. See Fig. 4.
Fig. 8. Semen Cucurbitæ, a large species of American gourd.
Fig. 9. Coffee-berries.
