Anemography, which treats of the Winds. 3. Meteorography, which treats of the Meteors. 4. Phantafmatography, which treats of the celefial Appearancesy or fuch Phenomena, as exift only in Vifion, and not corporally. A. How do you fubdivide the laft general Part? ^ B.

Phytographyy which treats of Plants and Vegetables. 4. Zoographyy which treats of Animals of all Kinds. And thus you have a concife View of the feveral Parts or Subjects of our enfuing Col¬ loquies.
