page 1121 note 1 A Solander case is defined in Whitney's Century Dictionary, where it is described on the strength of an extract from Notes and Queries, as a box which opens both in front and at top, and as the invention of Dr. Solander, the naturalist who accompanied Captain Cook. The box in the R.A.S. only opens at the top.
page 1124 note 1 This refers to the letter, of which a translation by Boughton-Rouse appears in Orme's “Historical Fragments,” p. 232. The letter is there ascribed to Jeswant Singh, see a note to Elphinstone's “History of India,” 4th ed., p. 560. I have not seen Mr. Weston's text and translation.
