For large flocks of Wild-fowl, we say of— 
Swans, a whiteness. 
Geese, a gaggle* 
Brent, a gang. 
Duck, a team , —smaller number, a 
Widgeon, a company , or trip.

Plovers, and all Shore Birds, & flock. 
Bitterns and Herons, a sege. 
Larks, an exaltation.

The young, not full-grown, of Grouse are cheepers , of Quail

fo Buffalo, I 1 
> are a herd. 
a gang. 
a drove. 
Bison, vu 
Stags,

Elk, 
Wolves, 
The female of the—

Cariboo, ) 
Elk, Doe Elk. 
Stag, or Hart, Hind. 
Buck, Doe. 
The terms Stag or Hart, and Hind , are applied to the Red Deer,. 
“ Buck , and Doe, “ Fallow Deer. 
The Deer of America is nearly akin to the Red Deer, and 
has no relation to the Fallow Deer ; therefore, unless as ap¬ 
plied to the Goat, or Antelope, as a qualification of sex, the 
words Buck and Doe are misnomers in Ame^i 'an Hn?
