by Willughby, p. 294 of bis Ornithology, 
where he has collected what other au- 
thors have faid of it. I find no figure 
of it, except a bad one in Gefner: See 
his Phaopus alter , Arquata minor , No- 
menclat. Avium, Ordo o&avus, p. 103. 
The Paper-Mofs is drawn of its na- 
tural fize : the blades of it are very thin, 
and branched as the figure fhews them, 
their furiaces being covered with little dots 
or points : the colour is light brownifh- 
yellow. It was brought by an India 
fhip from the ifland of St. Helena. Mr. 
Ellis, in his Natural Hiftory of Coral- 
lines, has given two different fpecies 
nearly refembling this. See the Narrow- 
leaved Hornwrack, plate xxviii. and the 
Paper-Mofs, plate xxxviii. Both the 
Bird and Mofs were worked on the plate 
immediately from nature.
