We faw many of thefe birds both at Rome zn&Venlbe: They do alio frequent our 

 Eaftern Goafts in Suffolk and Norfolk in Winter time. But there needs no great pains 

 be taken or time fpent in exactly delcribing this bird : For the Angular figure of its Bill 

 reflected upwards is fufficient alone to chara&erife and diftinguifh it from all other *

 Of W h o l e-foo ted Birds with fhorter Le^s. 



* or fuch as "V "T" THole-footed birds with fhorter Legs we diftinguifh into * fuch as want the 

 SndtT VV ba£ fc toe > ^ Uch f ^eit: Thefe latter into fuch as have all four toes 

 as have four. T w web d together, and fuch as have the back-toe loofe or feparate from the 

 reft : Thefe latter again we fubdivide into narrow-bill'd and broad-bill^ : The nar- 

 row-bilfdhave their Bills either hooked at the end, orftreighter and (harp-pointed. 

 The hook-bilfd have their Bills either even, or toothed on the fides. JThofe that 

 have ftreighter and fharp-pointed Bills are either ftiort-winged and divers, called 

 Dojickers and Loons 5 or long-winged, and much upon the Wing, called Gulls. The 

 broad-bill'd are divided into the Goofe-kmd , and the IW^-kind. The D^-kind are 

 either Sea-ducks, or Pond-ducks. 



The general marks of whole-footed birds are, 1. Short Legs, Here we mult ex- 

 cept the Phoznicoptter, Contra, and Avofetta : 2. Legs feathered down to the Knees : 

 3. Short hind-toes : 4.Theoutmoft fore-toe fhorter than the inmoft : 5. Their Rumps 

 lefs erect, than other birds: 6. Moil of the broad-bill'd kind have a 'kind of 

 hooked narrow plate at the end of the upper Chap of their Bills 5 their bodies flat or 

 deprefled. 



N. B. Under the name of whole or web-footed wecomprife fbme birds which have 

 indeed their Toes divided, but membranes appendant on each fide, fuch' are fome.of 

 the Divers or Loons. Thefe might niore properly be denominated fin-toed ox fin-footed 

 than whole-footed.

ChaY. I. 

 The 'Bird called fenguin by our Seamen, which feems to be Hoiers Goifuael. 



IN bignefs it comes near to a tame Goofe. The colour of the upper fide is black, 

 of the under white. Its Wings are very fmall, and feem to be altogether unfit for 

 flight* Its Bill is like the Auk?, but longer and broader, comprefled fideways, 

 graven in with (even or eight furrows in the upper mandible, with ten in the lower. 

 The lower Mandible alfo bunches out into au angle downward, like a Gulls Bill. It 

 differs from the Auks Bill in that it hath no white lines. From the Bill to the Eyes on 

 each fide is extended alineorfpotofwhite.lt wants the back-toe, and hatha verv 

 fiiort tail. J
