VVater-fowl. Here the Author mentions a Raven , taught by him 
tofpeak ; which as longas-he would teach him,would not go from 
him^thoi'gh it Jafled two hours ; and what he was taught in the day 
time^he repeated early in the morning,putcing the fy llables together, 
till he could fpeakout the whole word. Aniongfl: the Water-fowl 
he mentions one, which he faith is never found on the land , and is 
called Mrim-'ithc Inhabitants taking it to be the Halcjonox Kings- 
J^^'r; though it doth not agree with the defcription, commonly 
made of that bird, viz. That it is no bigger than a Sparrow, and is 
blew, and hath other qualities not at all agreeing with thofe of this 
fowl 5 which is bigger than a Goofe, having a long neckband a pret- 
ty long beak ^ is grey on the back,checquer'd with white fpots ; its 
neck is aifo grey, fomething whitifli down towards the breaft, ha- 
vinga white ring about the middle of the neck. 'Tis never found 
on land ; for its feet ftand too muchback,andare To weak, that it 
cannot go with them: Befsdes, its wings are fo little,that it can fly 
but little. It hath a hole under each of its wings, capable to hold 
an Egg, wherein the people fuppofe it hatches its eggs, neither is 
it ever feen with more or kfs than two young ones,

Pilchards, SV^/i, (which laft like VVhales,give fuck to their young 
ones;)alfo a fort of Whales call'd Grind-Whales^ of which thebig- 
gefl: are but five ells long, which come in great numbers under the 
land ; They have fhort heads , and little eyes , a black skin with a 
white (iroke under the belly, and are pretty fat; the head being 
almoft nothing but fat, and the body having a palm thick of fat. 
They partly melt the fat of the whole,tomake Train-oyl^ falting the 
refl: with black-falt^ to ufe it as Bacon» This fait they prepare of 
Sea-w eeds, which ihey dry and burn to aftes. They dry and eat the 
flefli when 'tis frefh , looking and fmelling like Beef ; and what 
they cannot ftrait confume, they cue into long pleces,and hang them 
up to dry in the wind, eating it afterwards like Hung-beef. For- 
raigners fometimes pickle part of the tayl, which rafts much like 
Neats-feet : Whence the Inhabitants take thefe Whales to be, and 
call I hem. Sea kine. But befides this fort of VVhales,they have two 
forts more, called ihe Roar and on which the Inhabi- 
tants dare not venture hey are fo great and dangerous; ) but they
