HIS fpecies is found in Great Britain; but is 
much lefs common in £xgland than the for- 
mer: it is fometimes taken in the counties of 
Merioneth and Caernarvon, as 1 was informed by 
my late worthy friend Mr. W. Morris, where it 
is diftinguifhed from the other kind, by the name 
of bela goed, or wood martin, it being fuppofed 
entirely to inhabit the woods; the bela graig to 
dwell only among the rocks. Tho’ this is fo 
rare in thefe parts, yet in Scotland it is the only 
kind; where it inhabits the fir forefts, building its 
neft at the top of the trees*. It loves a cold 
climate, and is found in much greater numbers in 
the north of Ewrope, than in the other parts. North 
America abounds with thefe animals. Prodigious 
numbers of their fkins are annually imported
