A VOYAGE TO 
1778. We law, flying about the wood, a crow; two or three of 
1 ^ the white-headed eagles mentioned at Nootka; and another 
lort full as large, which appeared alfo of the fame colour, 
or blacker, and had only a white bread:. This fpecies is in 
the Lever 1 an 'Mufeum ; and defcribed by Mr. Latham , in 
his Synopfls of Birds, Vol. i. p. 33, N° 72, under the name 
of the White-bellied Eagle. In the paffage from the fhip to 
the fhore, we faw a great many fowls fitting upon the wa¬ 
ter, or flying about in flocks or pairs ; the chief of which 
were a few quebrantahueffes; divers; ducks, or large pe- 
terels ; gulls; fliags; and purres. The divers were of two 
forts; one very large, of a black colour, with a white breafl 
and belly; the other fmaller, and with a longer and more 
pointed bill, which feemed to be the common guillemot. 
The ducks were alfo of two forts; one brownifh, with a 
black or deep blue head and neck, and is perhaps the flone 
duck defcribed by Steller. The others fly in larger flocks, 
but are fmaller than thefe, and are of a dirty black colour. 
The gulls were of the common fort, and thofe which fly 
in flocks. The fhags were large and black, with a white 
fpot behind the wings as they flew; but probably only the 
larger water corvorant. There was alfo a Angle bird feen 
flying about, to appearance of the gull kind, of a fnowy 
white colour, with black along part of the upper Ade of 
its wings. I owe all thefe remarks to Mr. Anderfon. At 
the place where we landed, a fox came from the verge of 
the wood, and eyed us with very little emotion, walking 
leifurely without any Agns of fear. He was of a reddifh- 
yellow colour, like fome of the fkins we bought at Nootka, 
but not of a large Aze. We alfo faw two or three little feals 
off fhore; but no other animals or birds; nor the leaf! Agns 
of inhabitants having ever been upon the ifland.
