Tract V. treats " of Hawks and Falconry Ancient and Modern" 

 (pp. 111-119), and is devoted chiefly to a consideration of the 

 remedies applied by falconers for the diseases of their birds. 

 The author mentions incidentally that " upon good account, an 

 hawk in this county of Norfolk made a flight at a Woodcock 

 near thirty miles in one hour" (p. 116). 



This tract is reprinted in Wilkin's edition (which is the best) 

 of Sir Thomas Browne's "Works," 1836 (vol iv. pp. 186-190), 

 where the author's surname is spelled with a final e. This is not 

 so in the original tract, nor in the title-page of the folio of 1686, 

 printed for Thomas Basset and others. But the final e is to be 

 found in the MS. in the Bodleian Library, as well as on the 

 author's tomb at Norwich.
