except in quantity , and that they grow out of their 

 Heads like Fingers out of the Hand j fuch is this FaUonf 

 Deer^ being therefore called Cervuf Palmatof, As fo^ 

 their other parts, they much refemble a Koe-buck; Their 

 riefh is excellent for nourilhn:ient, but their blood ingcn- 

 ders too much Melancholy. 



Now know, the Buck^is Fawn'd about the latter end 

 of May^ and its nature and properties differ little from 

 the Hart. 



There is not fo much art and skill in Lodging a Buck, 

 as in the Harbouring a Hart j neither is there required 

 fo much drawing after, but onely you are to judge by 

 ihe View, and mark what Grove or Covert he entrcth ■>

 a Hart, nor fo frequently change his Layr. 



He maketh his Fewmilhings in divers manners and

 the Buck^'xs hunted, he oft-times betakes himfelf to fuch 

 Itiong Holds and Coverts as he is molt acquainted 

 with, not flying far before the Hounds, not croiling nor 

 doubling, ufing no fuch fubtleties as the Hart is accu-

The BucJ^wiW beat a Brook, (but feldom a great Pvi- 

 ver, as the Hart) but it murt not be fo deep ; nor can 

 he flay (^o long at Soil as the Hart will do : onely he 

 leapeth lightlier at Rut than the Hart > and gr»aneth 

 or tmateth, as a Hart belleth, but with a lower Voice, 

 ratling in the Throat. And here is to be noted, ihey 

 love not one another, nor will they come near each o- 

 ther's Layr. 



B«c^ Venifon is incomparable food, and isdreifed
