Good Hope. Kolben fpeaks of it as common in Arabia, Forfcliul in 

 Perfia, and Kampfer in China and Japan : it is alfo found in America, 

 from Hudfon's Bay to South Carolina; and was obfeived iike-vife by 

 our navigators in fome of the iflands of the South Seas. 



The wild Goofe is rather lefs than the tame Goofe, aiid weighs 

 about ten pounds, while in a Ikle of tamenefs it frequently attains to 

 the weight of fifteen or twenty pounds, and often more : the length 

 is about two feet nine inches, and the breadth five feet. The bird 

 we have chofen for the annexed figure is rather above the ufual ftand- 

 ard, meafuring from the tip of the bill to the end of the tail, twenty- 

 nine inches and a half, and was confidered, in refpe6l to plumage, 

 a very perfe6l bird.
