 grapes on its prickles, as well as mulberries; and, properly, illustrates a passage in 

 iElian. The porcupine is not mentioned in this list by Dr. Sibthorp, but he saw a quill

 that country. It is also found near Aleppo, and sometimes served up at the tables of the 

 Franks. — Russell, ii. 159.
