Molt migratory, fhifting from climate to climate, from place to 
place, in order to lay their eggs, and bring up their young in 
full fecurity: the thinly inhabited north their principal breed- 
ing place ; returning at Rated periods, and, in general, yielding 
to mankind delicious and wholefome nutriment. All the 
Cloven-footed , or mere Waders, lay their eggs on the ground. 
Thofe with pinnated feet form large nefts, either in the water, 
or near it. From the firft, we muft except the Heron and the 
Night-Heron *, which build in trees. 
All the Web-footed fowl either lay their eggs on the ground, or 
on the fhelves of lofty cliffs ; and none perch, except the Cor- 
vorant, Shugg, and one or two fpecies of Ducks.
