502 ot 



deer is called foiling, if on the grass, where 

 the impression of the foot is hardly visible. 



The tail of a hart hath no other appella- 

 tion ; but that of a buck, roe, or any other 

 deer, is called the single. The fat of all 

 lorts of deer is called suet, but the fat of a 

 roe and hart is called bevy-grease* The 

 foresters expressions are, to harbour and 

 unharbour a hart, or he lieth in his hair ; to 

 lodge and touse, or dislodge a buck ; to seek 

 and find the roe, and he beddeth : the open- 

 ing is called to break a deer. Terms to be 

 used in generation are these : a hart, or buck, 

 goeth to rut, the roe goes to tourn. Terms 

 for the voice and sound of deer : the hart 

 kelloweth, the buck groaneth, the roe belleth. 

 Where there are more deer than one, the 

 Skilful forester terms them thus : a herd of 

 harts, hinds, bucks, and does ; a bevy of roes. 

 And note, that twenty is the least number 

 which maketh a herd of any deer, except the 

 roe, which is six.
