Teeth above, and as many under, very fliarp md point- 
ed, their Feet like thofe of Squirrels ; theyc. o fi rce 
and angry, that if a Stick be held out at thenij thvy will 
bite it, and hold it fb-fuft, that they niay be fwinged a- 
bout in the Air ; they are fat and thick, and without any 
Tail. 
In their March they keep a direft Line generally, from 
North-Ead to South Weft, and are innumerable Thou< 
fands in each Troop, which for the moft part is a Square , 
they march by Night, and in the Twilight, and lye ftiil 
by Day. 
The Diftance of the Lines they go in is of Tome Ells, 
all Parallel to each other, fothat the places they have 
gone over, look like the Furrows in a Plowed Field. If 
they meet any thing that might ftop them, they avoid 
it not, tho' it were a Fire, a deep Well, a Torrent, Lakes, 
or Morafs, but without any Hefitation venture through, 
and by that means, many Thoufands of them are deftroy- 
ed and found dead in Waters, and otherwife. 
If they be met fwitnming over Lakes, and Attacked 
with Oars or Boat-hooks, they neither Retreat, nor of- 
fer to run up the Oars, &c. but hold on their Courfe, 
and if they be forced out of it, they prefently return into 
it again when they are met in Woods or Fields and 
ftopt, they ftt themfelves upon their hinder Feet like a 
Dog, and make a kind of barking or (queeking noife^ 
leaping up as high as a Mans Knee^ or near 8 Feet, de- 
fending their Line as long ^s they can; and if at laft they 
be forced out of it, they creep into holes , and fit up a 
cry founding like HMy hiahk 
They never come into any Houft, nor middle with 
any thing that is Man's Meat j if a Houfe happen to be 
in their Way, there they ftop till they die i but through 
a Stack of Hay or Corn they will eat their Way when 
they march through a Meadow, they endamages it much,
