Abstract
December 14, 1683. The peice of Iron which had been cast into an Ingot, lying North and South, was produced. We did not observe that it did in ye least draw ye needle. A letter from Mr. Aston gave an account that Gerbertus brought ye use of numeral figures into these parts of the world; it was ordered that enquiry should be made whence this appears. A letter from Dr. Tyson related to ye observations, lately made by Dr. Bagly on ye Lumbricus latus, with an account, and draught, of a little Insect, which he found in ye Trachœa of ye rana Piscatrix. Dr. Smith was pleased to oblidge us, with an account of some observations, made by ye learned Mr. Greaves, in Egypt, and transcribed from his MS, by ye Doctor, to whom it was communicated by Mr. Stubbs, formerly of Wadham Colledge.
