the Pi-iits, which we judged to be a 
Sort of Lari, in a Meer at Norbury 
belonging to Col. SkrwtJJjaiv. They 
build altogether in an Wet in the 
Middle of a Pool. Each Hen layeth 
3 or 4. Eggs (of a dirty Blue or Sea- 
Green fpotted with Black) at the 
driving every Year, they take com- 
monly above an Hundred Dozen 
young, which they fell at five Shil- 
lings the Dozen. The Colour of 
the Putt is near that of a Sea-mew, 
i. e. White and fomewhat flecked, 
only the Head is perfedly Black ; 
about the Bignefs of a Teal or a 
Widgeon. They come to this Meer 
the Beginning of March, and are all 
gone by the latter End of y^ly, or 
before. They ufually drive them 
about the 6th or 8 th of yune, fooner 
or later. They have fometimes di-' 
vided, and Part removed to another 
Meer not far off, but this not often.
