are valuable, being of a peculiar foftnefs, and much efteemed on
account of their lightnefs and warmth. This bird is eafily taken,
and will not readily quit its neft on the approach of a man.
Th e fea-coafts abound with pelicans, cormorants, and other
birds, which breed moil: plentifully in holes o f rocks fcarcely ac-
ceflible: the Laplanders, however, contrive to take the eggs ot
thefe fowls in confiderable quantities, and oftentimes the birds
themfelves by means of baited hooks faftened to ropes.
I ihall conclude this fection by giving a lift of the quadrupeds
and birds peculiarly belonging to Lapland and Finland, according
to the fyftem of Linnaeus.
Q u a d r u p e d s .
Cams Lagopus; the white fox, likewife the black, and the one
marked with a crois upon the b a c k : thele are generally

to diftinguifh them asfpecies.
Viverra Eutreola, or Múflela Lutreola, (by the Finlanders .called Ti~
cliuri) refembles the marten.
Mifjlela Gulo, or Urfus Gulo, the glutton.
