[Their Birds.] In the next place I will entertain you with some relation of the other living Creatures among them.

In that Land there are Crowes, Sparrowes, Tom-titts, Snipes, just like these in England, Wood-Pigeons also, but not great flocks of any sorts, as we have, onely of Crowes and Pigeons.

I have seen there Birds just like Woodcocks and Partridges, but they are scarce.
