mention., that this Anacatdium grows in Japan bat
that the varrit Ill, rohichit colleaed from it, is brought
to them from Siam : end I believe it will appear
plainly, from what follows, that there is not a pleat
of this kind in the kingdom of Japan for Siam and
CambOdia, efpecially the parts of chofe kingdosns,
where /Campine infoam us this v Anacardium growc,

may becompared with Mr. Miller's trauflation, which
he gives tts m his reply to the Abbe Maim's letter,
