CHINA. 1751. 203 



The Chinefe quails (Tetrao Chinenfis) have 

 already been mentioned as being ufed inftead 

 of muffs by the Chinefe. We bought feveral 

 females to make into pies on our voyage. 

 We gave three kandarin apiece for them. 

 The cock quails are larger, dearer, and more 

 fcarce. 



Con us (Chinenfis) Jlriis tranfverfis reirorfum 

 imbrkatis, called Ha-ing by the Chinefe , is a 

 fort of almoff, round fhells; the animal of 

 which is taken out, put into water, and fold 

 in every ftreet by the name of Ha-in-yo. 



As the Chinefe live moftly on roots, fruits, 

 and pot-herbs, the country hereabouts is al- 

 moft all garden. Befides rice, fugar-canes, 

 and Chinefe potatoes, I have obferved the fol- 

 lowing forts : 



Pease of feveral kinds are fown here, and 

 likewife two fpecies of beans, which are not 

 ufual in our country, for they require more 

 warmth than our climate affords. I have per- 

 fected fome however in Swede?! by a hot-bed. 

 One fort is called by the Europeans
