1750 description of coconut+ from Bonnie

[Guest guest]

I must be a DUNSE, because I could not figure out how to get page 143, even

though I put it in the Search Box. I finally gave up, but I did want to read

it. I'm on Dial Up Internet, very agonizingly slow.

If anyone out there has HIGH SPEED INTERNET and knows how to CAPTURE an

image of that page and can send it to me, I would be very greatful.

Thanks,

Bonnie

> In my research (on another topic) I came across a description of coconut

and how it was used (in Indonesia I believe) written in 1750 by Pehr Osbeck,

a Swedish chaplain on a ship of the East India Company. He was interested in

botany and an apostle of Carl Linnaeus.
