OF NORFOLK. IO7 



The pigeons are much fewer than formerly, 

 as many of the pigeon-houfes have been dropr, 

 on account of the injury which the pigeons do to 

 thatched buildings. 



The decoys are but few to what they were for- 

 merly ; bur, as there are fo many marines, and 

 feveral pieces of water called broads, it is prefumed, 

 that many of them might be revived to advantage, 

 as wild-fowl is become more valuable fince the 

 communication to London is made eafier and 

 quicker, by means of the turnpike roads. 



Rabbits are very numerous, as the warrens are 

 not only very confiderable, but many other parts 

 are full of them, particularly near plantations, 

 where they do great injury, and are very difficult 

 to keep down. 



The game is flill in great plenty, though not 

 equal to what it was formerly. Many of the gen- 

 tlemen are too tenacious of it, which makes the 

 farmer, its natural guardian, lefs careful to pre- 

 serve it ; and it is too often a fource of difcord in 

 the county (c).
