Juno$, and craws taken . out, vyapied with the above pre- 
paring liquor, lire Wed with* the preparing powder, ftujfed 
wit h the prepared oakum br tow ; their plumage kept 
clean during the operation, iewed up with thread deeped 
in the preparing liquor ; the eyes taken out, with the 
tongue, and both places walked with the fame liquor •, the 
mouth mud be filled with prepared tow in great birds ; 
the eyes filled up witif putty, and, when dry, painted 
» nth oil-colour after the natural colour of live birds of the 
fame fpecies ? and then dried in an oven: however, as 
there is all the meat on the bird left, care mud be 
taken not to take too plump or too fat birds, and dry them 
fiowly under the fame precaution as mentioned N° I. 
The operation mud be repeated till the bird be per- 
fe£Hy dry. The attitude may be given to the bird 
before he be put into the oven, by wires that are fnarp on 
one end, and thruded through the bird’s legs, body, bread, 
and neck, and others going through the wings and 
body. Small birds are likewife well prefcrved in brandy, 
rack, or rum •, and when arrived at the place of their 
dedination, they mud be walked and Iweetened in freffi 
water for feveral times, and ladly dipped in the preparing 
liquor, the plumage laid in order, the attitude given to 
the bird by wires, and then dried. Care mud be taken 
to kill the birds with (hot proportioned to their fize, and 
at a reafonable didaqce, that the fpecimen may not be 
mangled and torn. Young birds which have not yet moulted, 
mud not be taken, but old birds in full feather, and, if 
poffible, a fpecimen of each fex ; for the fexes often vary 
very much in fize, feather, and colour. The neds of birds 
and their eggs would likewife contribute towards perfect- 
ing the hidory of this branch of zoology. 
IV. All kinds of Reptiles, as fnakes, lizards, and frogs, 
and fmall tortoifes, mud be put into brandy , or rum with 
alum in it : obferve not to take fuch fnakes or lizards as 
have accidentally lod their tails : the fcales of thefe animals 
mud be carefully preferved.
