Gannet.
The Gannet is a large white Fowl, having one Part of his Wings black; he lives on Fish, as the Pellican. His Fat or Grease, is as yellow as Saffron, and the best thing known, to preserve Fire-Arms, from Rust.
Shear-Water.
Shear-Waters are a longer Fowl than a Duck; some of them lie on the Coast, whilst others range the Seas all over. Sometimes they are met five hundred Leagues from Land. They live without drinking any fresh Water.
Pied-Gull.
We have a great pied Gull, black and white, which seems to have a black Hood on his Head; these lay very fair Eggs which are good; as are the young ones in the Season.
Marsh-Hen.
Marsh-Hen, much the same as in Europe, only she makes another sort of Noise, and much shriller.
Blue-Peters.
The same as you call Water-Hens in England, are here very numerous, and not regarded for eating.
