Part L Of "Palmipede f. 
of their Pullen. They breed in IJland, in the Hie of Mom 
in Scotland, in thofe of Fero and the 5>fe 3 alfo in Ireland, 
and other places 3 laying their Eggs under ground. 
The Puffin, Penguin, and Guillemot, all want the Heel or 
hinder Toe. Have all black Backs, but their Bellies,which 
are much under water , are White. All lay but one 
Egg at a fitting : proper perhaps to other Birds of this 
kind, (a) wwuiugh; 
The HEAD of a PUFFIN. ° rmth * 
The HEAD of the MAN of WAR 3 called alfo Al- 
bitrofe, Suppofed by fome to be the Head of a Dodo. 
But it feems doubtful That there is a Bird called Thi 
Man of War, is commonly known to our Sea-men 3 and 
feveral of them who have feen the Head here preferved, 
do affirm it to be the Head of that Bird 3 which they de- 
fcnbe to be a very great one, the Wings whereof are eight 
feet over. And Ligon, (b) .{"peaking of him, faith, That (J>) W- of 
he will commonly fly out to Sea, to fee what Ships are Barbad -P- dl " 
coming to Land, and fo return. Whereas the Dodo is 
hardly a Volatile Bird, having little or no Wings, except 
fuch as thofe of the Caffbary and the Oftrick Befides, al- 
though the upper Beak of this Bill, doth much refemble 
that of the Dodo 3 yet the nether is of a quite different 
lhape. So that either this is not the Head of a Dodo, or 
elfe we have no where a true figure of it. I ftiall defcribc 
it as follows. 
The SKULL is four inches long 3 the Bill, feven 5 two 
and 1 high 3 one and ** broad. The upper Beak is hollow* 
Is compofed of fix Bones. The uppermofl whereof is four 
inches and ? long, above * inch high, and convex. The 
middlemoft on each fide , alfo four inches long , and 
about * of an inch high or thick. The lowermoft, above 
five inches long, and * high. Their Edges are furrow'd 
with oblique and deep Grooves both before and behind. 
All thefe five Bones are refimated or bended upward, with 
fome refemblance to a Saddle. The fixth, at the end of 
the Beak, is a wonderful ftrong Bone, crooked exactly like 
the Bill of a P arret , and hollow 3 by the bow , almoft 
three inches, and near an inch over. Its Edges are very 
keen, and (landing out with two fharp or pointed Angles. 
The Noftrils are * of an inch long, and almofl two inches 
L before
