smut in wheat
the impression of being undigested
like Whistler or Packer or Oliver Hill
to whales, to strange herbal decoctions, and their use as antidotes
propounding an aetherial explanation for its properties,
worms found 'in the head and brains of some creatures'
an account of hurricanes brought in by

the recent discovery of various kinds of 'phosphorous', including true phosphorus (the element)
they should speedily read
a new kind of wind-fountain of his own contrivance
in vacuo
not that he had as yet performed 'hundreds' of them
comparisons of the effects of condensed and rarefied air on birds, a much-tried subject by this date
Papin as an amanuensis.
Poisons were always a popular subject
to prevent the presence of 'strangers' at meetings
Brake the mercury glasse in the Parlour
followed by what the Diary calls 'much discourse'
viviparous snails
