horns they tnew every year : He is colour'd for the moft 

 part like a Hearty and hath eleven feet , but without

It is a moll timorous creature, not defiring to ftir

 fmall wound, it inlUntlydies. 



They are taken by nets and toils, or as Elephants 

 are taken : for when they have found the trees where- 

 unto they lean, they fo cut and faw them, that when 

 the E//;^ Cometh, he ovtrthroweth the tree and falleth ' 

 with it i and being not able to rife, is fo taken alive. 

 When they are chafed eagerly, and can find no place 

 to reft themfelves in and lie fecret, they run to the wa- 

 ters, and therein Hand, taking up waters into their 

 mouths i and in a little time do fo heat it, that fquir- 

 ting it out upon the dogs, the heat thereof fo fcaldeth 

 them, that they dare not come nigh or approach them 

 any more.

 fcribing their natures, and the manner of their Forrain 

 huntings but, fince they are not to be found in Eng- 

 la/idj let thefe fufhce which I have already defcribed.
