that 1 have been told, they have a very Orderly Go- 
vernment amongft them,- in their Works each knows 
his proper Work, and Station, and the Overfeers beat 
thofe Young Ones that loiter in their Bufinefe, and will 
make them cry, and work ftoutly. 
Wolves there are great (lore ; you may hear a Com- 
pany Hunting in an Evening, and yelping like a pack 
of Beagles ; but they are very cowardly, and dare fcarce 
venture on any thing that faces them, yet if Hungry, 
will pull down a good large Sheep that flies from them. 
I never heard that any of them adventured to fet on 
Man or Child. 
Foxes, they are very much like ours, only their Furr 
is much more grizled, or gray ; neither do I remember 
ever to have feen any Fox-holes, but of this I am not 
pofitive. 
Every Houfe keeps three or four Mungrel Dcgs to 
deftroy Vermin, fuch as Wolves, Foxes^Rackoons.Opcjfoms, 
&c. But they never Hunt with Hounds, 1 fuppofe, be* 
caufe there are fo many Branches of Rivers, that they 
cannot follow them. Neither do they keep Grey- 
Hounds, becaufe they fay, that they are fubjeft to breafc 
their Necks by running againft Trees, and any Cur will 
ferve to run their Hares into a hollow Tree, where af* 
ter the aforefaid manner they catch them. 
They have great ftore both of Land and Water 
Tortoifes, but they are very fmall, I think I never faw 
any in that Country to exceed a Foot in length; there 
is alfo another fort of Land-Tortoi(e, different from the 
common fort, with a higher ridged Back, and fpeckkd 
with red fort of Spots. 
Frogs they have of feveral forts, one of a Prodigious 
largenefs, Eight or Ten times as big as any in England, 
and it makes a ftrange noife, fomething like the Bellow- 
ing of a Bull, or betwixt that, and the hollow founding 
noife that the Englijh Bittern makes.
