88 APPENDIX A. 



[Reply to No. 8 of the above Series.] 



\_Fol. I.J Worthy Sr, — my due thanks premised I 

 at present acquaint y" y' y" have very well named 

 y^ Rutilus & expressed fully y° cours to bee taken in 

 y= imposition of names viz y" most obvious & most 

 peculiar difference to y= ey or any other sens. I am 

 farther to say y' y'^ icon of y= weazeling came not 

 to my hands, pray bee pleas'd to look amongst y' papers 

 perhaps it might bee laid by through some accident or 

 other [I have added above] y'= figures of y"" 'anas macro- 

 lophos, & of y= mergi cristati \see Note 1 24] & of y* pristis 

 y^ which came from Cornwall was of y= gladius, y" name 

 of sword fish being applied to both of them by our 

 nation. It seemeth by y" y' y'^ Norwich aspredo is 

 not y^ Ceruna fluviatilis contrary to what Camden 

 affirms, for y« rutilus mentioned in mine to y differs 

 toto coelo from y^ ceruna — The difference of y^ Elks bill 

 by y^ signified is remarkable to distinguish it from others 

 of its own kind. \See p. 83 supra.'\ The crackling teal 

 seems [clearly crossed out\ to bee y'= same which Dr 

 Charleton^'" mentions in his Onomasticon under y= name 

 of '■f- cf acker,& showing him y' description hee acknow- 

 ledged to bee y^ same, y= clangula I know noe more of 

 than reading hath informed mee, a willock I have seen 

 brought from Greenland where they are said exceedingly 

 to abound, but never y' [thought ?] either of them was 

 found in England, & having [not added above'] taken 

 sufficient notice of it y= later, crave y^ description off both. 



And now Sr since my last only 2 things remarkable 

 haue come to my knowledge. The one was a cake off 

 black amber -J off an inch thick & neer a palm each way. 



^3° In Charleton's " Onomastiopn," at p. 99, the Cracker is called by him, 

 Anas caudacuta, and is said to be the " Gaddel " of the London dealers in 

 fowl. \_See Note 125.]
