The Pimberah, the body whereof is as big as a mans middle, and of a length proportionable.

It is not swift, but by subtilty will catch his prey; which are Deer or other Cattel; He lyes in the path where the Deer use to pass, and as they go, he claps hold of them by a kind of peg that growes on his tayl, with which he strikes them.

He will swallow a Roe Buck whole, horns and all; so that it happens sometimes the horns run thro his belly, and kill him.

A Stag was caught by one of these Pimberahs, which siesed him by the buttock, and held him so fast, that he could not get away, but ran a few steps this way and that way.

An Indian seeing the Stag run thus, supposed him in a snare, and having a Gun shot him; at which he gave so strong a jerk, that it pulled the Serpents head off while his tayl was encompassing a Tree to hold the Stag the better.
[The Polonga.] There is another venomous Snake called Polongo, the most venomous of all, that kills Cattel.
