General
Adanson’s drafts of reports on portions of Duhamel’s work on fish and fishing. The first two reports, dated 9 Dec. 1775 and 30 Aug. 1777, cite Bernard de Jussieu, as collaborating commissaire, and the last, dated only 1778, cites Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu. Notes concerning fishes have been added, including two pages with a drawing of a West African fish, translated by Adanson from a note in Spanish of Audibert-Caille, received in January 1790.
