. Narrative of a five years' expedition, against the revolted negroes of Surinam, in Guiana, on the wild coast of South America; from the year 1772, to 1777: elucidating the history of that country, and describing its productions ... with an account of the Indians of Guiana, & negroes of Guinea. ve to the emancipation of Joanna, who hadnow once more literally saved my life. At this table therewas never wanting all tlie wholesome and refreshing nou-rishment that I stood in need of, with the best of fruits,and wines. Among the articles conducive to the restora-tion of health, are reckoned in this country all the differentkinds of pepper which it affords, and the no less effica-cious acid of limes. Among the first are the cica pepper,the lattacaca, and the dogo-peepee, as they are called inSurinam; for the negroes name each thing from the re-semblance it bears to another: but these are known inEurope by the names of Cayenne, Pimento, and Capsi-cum. The first is properly called Cayenne from theFrench settlement of that name in Guiana; but the namecica or chica, is derived from its round shape and size, re-sembling the insect called chiga or chigoe, already de-scribed ; the next resembles rats excrements, &c. All theabove species, besides some others, grow on low green shrubs,. Kceoy^c^^y/ta^^a^i^/^i^C^^r^ S/yr/-.
