Reprinted in Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, vol. iii, of the 

 third series, 1833, pp. 211-396, whence the above title is taken, and where occurs 

 this remark : " In the 12mo. volume from which this is printed, the title is pre- 

 ceded by a leaf, on the first page of which is the printer's device, viz. a dragon 

 with the letters G- TV over it ; and in the middle of the second page is ' Licensed 

 by Roger L'estrange Novemb. the 28, 1673.' The title-leaf (which is substituted 

 for one cut out, doubtless to give the book the appearance of a second edition) is 

 followed by two leaves, one bearing the Dedication, the other a list of Errata 

 . . . ." See the orig. ed., 1674. 



Bird-matter occurs at pp. 95-103 of the original (pp. 274-280 of this reprint), in 

 the shape of some curious remarks of no earthly account (though I observe that 

 some of Josselyn's commentators attempt to interpret him), opening thus: "Of 

 birds there are not many more than 120 kinds as our Naturalists have conjec- 

 tured, but I think they are deceived ; they are divided into land-birds and water- 

 birds, the land birds again into birds of prey, birds for meat, singing-birds and 

 others." A good many kinds of birds are gossiped about} e.gr.,the Pilhannaw, 

 " the biggest bird that is, except the Ostrich".
