Bosc

Bartletts should be in markets this week, with Bosc and Comice pears coming soon.

Bosc in his Glossaire will have them to be the origin of the magnetic belts, &c. that are so freely advertised at the present day.

Here Molge bosc, M. aspera, and M. marmorata originated, the latter passing into France.

Another migrating fish (Hydrargzra) was found by thousands in the fresh waters of Carolina by Bosc.

According to Bosc,431 the traveller, Olivier brought back some seeds of it, found in the East in the open country.

Old Bosc had never budged an inch—he was totally indifferent.
