Ducks. 
There is a Difficulty in fome Species that 
are intermediate in Size between Geefe 
and Ducks , whether to range them 
with the former or latter 3 but, as moft 
of the Goofe-Kind I have met with 
have a greyiftt Colour, I think it pro- 
per to let fuch ftand with Geefe , tho’ 
they are not bigger than fome we call 
Ducks . I believe what in England we 
improperly call the Mufcovy Duck , hath 
a larger Body than the Brent Goofe. I 
fhall begin with fuch Ducks as I ima- 
gine to frequent the Sea-Shores, or Salt- 
Waters.

Four-footed BEASTS; 
And fir ft, of the Monkey-Kind 
(for I think we fhould give the Pre- 
eminence to them, as they are more 
nearly allied to ourfelves in their 
outward Form and other Faculties, 
than any other of the Animals we 
call Four-footed Beafts.) It is in- 
deed a Doubt with me, whether we 
fhould call them fuch or not 3 for 
were I to write a general Hiftory of 
living Creatures, I fhould not know 
how to feparate Man from fome of the 
greater Monkies y otherwife than (after 
making them of one Genus) by giving 
Man the Superiority, and fuppofing 
him a diftirict, and the firft Species of 
that Genus. Thofe that follow in the 
Catalogue are much farther removed 
from the Human Species than many of 
the greater Monkeys are.

A BEAST approaching to the Mon- 
key-Kind, call'd a Maucauco y 
which I am told fignifies a Monkey in 
the Tortuguefe Language. I have ob- 
ferv’d thofe Creatures that decline from 
the Monkey , incline fomething to the 
Squirrel , as the following Animal 
doth.
