Thefe with the Teal, Wigeon and other Species of the Ducksrak, the 

 Kind, are called inBarhary by the general Name of \_^ V-?] Brak \ wTd Duck?. 



The Barhary Water Hen with a white Jpotted Wing, andrhev^^w 

 dark green Feet, is lefs than a Plover. The Bill is black, an "''"" 

 Inch and a half long, the Belly and Breaft of a dark brown 

 or rufty Colour, the Back of the fame, though much darker. 

 The Rump is white below, and variegated above with black 

 and white Streaks. 



The Barhary Godwit with a white Jpotted Wing^ is rather k? Codwit. 

 lefs than the Lapwing, having long black Legs, with the 

 middle Toe indented on each Side. The Bill is four Inches 

 long, brown, though black in the Extremity. The Head is fmall, 

 of a rufty Colour, as is alfo the Neck. The Rump is white * 

 the Back and Wings of a duskifli Colour; and the Breaft fpot- 

 ted like the Woodcocks. 



The Emfeejy or Ox Bird is of the Bignefs of the Curlew, ne Emfeefy, 

 being all over of a milk white Colour , except the Bill and 

 Legs , which are of a fine red. It generally feeds, in the 

 Meadows, along with Cattle, but the Flefti of It is unfavo- 

 ry and foon corrupts. 



IhtBoo-onk orLong lSIeck,is of theBitternKind,fomewhat lefs Tke^oo-onk, 

 than the Lapwing. The Neck, the Breaft, and the Belly, are 

 of a light yellow ; but the Back and upper Part of the Wings 

 are of a Jett black. The Tail is Ihort ; the Feathers of the 

 Neck long and ftreaked with White, or a light Yellow. The 

 Bill, which, is three Inches long, is green, in Fafliion like to 

 the Stork's ; and the Legs , which are fhort and flender, are 

 of the fame Colour. In walking and fearching for Food, it 

 throweth out It's Neck feven or eight Inches, from whence 

 the Arahs call It Boo-onk [t^-=^?\] The long Neck, or the Fa- 

 ther of the Neck. 



Insects and Creatures under that Denomination, are^'^^^*^^' 

 more numerous than curious ; there being few Species which 

 have fallen in my Way, but fuch as are already defcribed by 

 the Naturalifts. Butterflyes, Adderbolts, Beetles &c. are in 

 a Variety of Shapes, with Wings differently figured and colour- 

 ed, but which it would be too tedious to enumerate ; a Species 

 or two of each Sort may be fufficient. 



I Golius and others make t^^/^ to dc?iote fame p.irfuular Bird only of the Duck Kind, con^ 

 trary to the received Acceptation of'tt in this Country, for the Family in general,
