Pelicans are found moftly in warm countries. 
There are many in Africa; andin Siam, and China, 
i (which are in Afia ;) tig are found in America, 
jn the Bay of Panama, and almoft as far north as 
Hudfon’s Bay. ‘The infide of the pouch of the 
Pelican is not warm like the ftomach, and does 
not fpoil the fifh; and if the pouch be prefled 
againft the breaft, he immediately throws up the 
fh: the Pelican for this purpofe prefles his pouch | 
with his bill. ‘Ihe Pelican’s neft is near the edge 
of the water, and placed upon the ground; it is 
made of grafs, and deeply hollowed, and lined 
with foft grafs. If the Pelican be difturbed whilf 
fhe is fitting, fhe takes her eggs out of the nek 
with her bill, and drops them into the water; and 
~ when her fright is paft, fhe brings them back again. 
The Pelican is a great deftroyer of fith, for he 
eats as many at one meal, as would fatisfy fix men. 
He can eafily fwallow a fifh that weighs feven or 
eight pounds ; and will fometimes fwallow rats. 
There was a tame Pelican that ufed to follow the 
fthermen to market, and if they did not make 
_hafte to tie up his bag, he would quickly fteal:
