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 ; but, as mod 
of the Goofe-Kind I have met with 
have a greyifh Colour, I think it pro¬ 
per to let fuch hand 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 BEAST Sj 
And firft, of the Monkey-Kind 
(for I think we fhould give the Pre¬ 
eminence to them, as they are more 
nearly allied to ourfelvcs in their 
outward Form and other Faculties, 
than any other of the Animals we 
call Four-footed Beads.) It is in¬ 
deed a Doubt with me, whether we 
fhould call them fuch or not; 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 , otherwife than (after 
making them of one Genus) by giving 
Man the Superiority, and fuppofing 
him a dittinbt, and the firtt 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¬

which I am told dignifies a Monkey in 
the Portugiiefe Language. I have ob- 
ferv’d thofe Creatures that decline from 
the Monkey , incline fomething to the 
Squirrel, as the following Animal 
doth.
