hanging Nefls of a very curious Structure 

 of Spiders Webs. The Nefts of the va- 

 rious Sorts of Humming Birds are pretty, 

 particularly one, on which a very beauti- 

 ful Bird is fitting. The King Fifher's 

 Neft, and that of the Tom Tit, are not 

 unworthy of Remark, efpecially being the 

 Produce of our own Country. Here is 

 a Neft brought from Cambodia^ and other 

 Parts of the Eajl Indies^ about the Size of 

 a Goofe's Egg, and in Subftance not un- 

 like Ifmglafs being diflblved in Water, 

 it makes a fine Soup, whence it is gene- 

 rally called the Soup Neft : It is made by 

 a fmall Indian Swallow of a delicate Tafte. 

 Thefe Birds are feen at certain Seafons of 

 the Year, in vaft Multitudes on the Sea 

 Coafts, w^iere in the Clefts of the Rocka 

 tliey build their Nefts of an hemifpheri- 

 cal Form, making them of a fpumous 

 Matter which they find on the Sea Shore, 

 There is only one Kind of Neft more to 

 be mentioned, and we have done with 

 this Title s it is brought from both the 



Indies^
