NORTH AMERICA. 
with myfelf in company, continued our former rout, 
coafting the favanna W. and N. W. ; and by agree- 
ment we were all to meet again at night, at the E. 
end of the favanna. 
We continued fbme miles croffing over, from pro- 
montory to promontory, the mo ft enchanting green 
coves and viftas, fcolloping and indenting the high 
f coafts of the vaft plain* Obferving a company of 
wolves (lupus niger) under a few trees, about a 
quarter of a mile from more, we rode up towards 
them ; they obferving our approach, fat on their 
hinder parts until we came nearly within mot of 
them, when they trotted off towards the foiefts, 
but flopped again and looked at us, at about two 
hundred yards diftance : we then whooped, and 
made a feint to purfue them ; when they feparated 
from each other, fome ftretching off into the plains, 
and others feeking covert in .the groves on more. 
When we got to the trees, weobferved they had been 
feeding on the carcafe of a horfe. The wolves of 
Florida are larger than a dog, and aie perfectly 
black, except the females, which have a white fpoi 
on the bread ; but they are not fo large as the 
wolves of Canada and Pennfylvania, which are .of a 
yellowilh brown colour. There were a number of 
vultures on the trees over the carcafe, who, as foon 
as the wolves ran off, immediately fettled down 
upon it $ they were however held in reftraint 
and fubordination by the bald eagle (falco leucoce- 
phalus). 
On our route near a long proje&ed point of the 
coaft, we obferyed a large flock of turkeys : at 
our approach they haftened to the groves. W e foon 
gained the promontory. On the afcending hills were 
yefliges of an ancient Indian town, now overiha-
