this city, author of the Historical Account of two Species of Lycoperdon,
just published, in which Sir Joseph much commends the performance,
and thanks Mr BRYANT for the great pains he has taken to fix the true
specific differences of these plants, as they had eluded the strictest
examination of all former botanists.
Friday morning, the 1st instant, came ashore, during a severe storm,
at Waxham, in this county, a large fish of a species not yet described by
the naturalists. It is about five feet ten inches long, and four feet in
circumference, and has four legs and paws, the two hinder of which
have a joint; from which circumstance it is thought it occasionally sits
upright, like the baboon. Its head is round and large and of a sandy
colour. The back is broad, and belly prominent, and, on the whole,
resembles a porpus [sic], more than any sea production we have seen.

to luxury and dissipation, which the present age affords, he was temperate
in his enjoyments, he was consequently frugal in his expences [sic], and
was therefore enabled to be (what it delighted him to be) bountiful to his
relations and dependents, and charitable to the poor.
Last Sunday morning died, Mr John CARR, a considerable farmer at
East Tuddenham.
