 mon in Perfia, though he barely mentions the circumflanee.

CROW. 



CIZE of a common Crow : length eighteen inches. Bill an 

 inch and a half long, and black j as is the whole plumage 

 and legs. 



This bird is common in Jamaica, and frequents the moun- 

 tainous parts of that ifland : it makes a chattering noife, different 

 from that of any of the European Crows, and is moft frequent on 

 the north fide of it : it is faid to be very near the common Crow 

 of England in outward appearance, but not flrictly the fame bird. 

 It feeds on berries, beetles, &c. and by fome is accounted good 

 meat.
