ee following Accounts are taken out of Voyages, and relate to the King of the. 
Vultures, Page 2 of this Book; and they coming to hand after the Defcripti- 
ons were printed, I have placed them here. 
Navarette in his Voyages in Spani/h, Page 30, mentions Rey de les Zopilotes, tran 
flated in Churchill's Collection of Voyages, Vol. 1. Page 235, where he fays, “ That’ 
“ at Acapulco he faw the King of the Zopilotes, which are the fame we call Vultures,. 
“ it is one of the fineft Birds that may be feen. I have often heard it prais'd, and 
** as I thought, they over-did it; but when I faw the Creature, I thought, the De- 
** fcription far fhort of it.” ee 
Navarette in another Place of the above Tranflation, Page 46. fpeaks thus: “‘ But 
“« the gayeft and fineft Bird I have feen, is the King of the Copilotes, which I faw 
** feveral times in the Port of Acapulco, and never had enough. of looking at him, 
** {till more and more admiring his Beauty, Statelinefs and Grace.” This Spanz/h,. 
Author has ufed z and ¢ indifferently in the beginning of the Name, they founding 
equally and meaning the fame Bird. , | 
Sir Hans Sloane favour’d me with thefe Remarks, and we think, that they can re- 
late tono other Bird but the King of the Vultures defcribed in Page 2. What is now 
mentioned may ferve pretty certainly to fix his native Place, which before we did not 
know.
