There’s very curious Talk towards the Falis of RapabanockRiver, which they Burn, and make a Delicate White Waßi of it. The Se-cretary of State, Coli.

There are 3. Ibrts of Eagles ; TheLargest I tafee to he that they call the Tue &rds. ■Grey Eagle, being much of the Colour of our Kite or Glead. The Se- p ' ?88 *coni 1 s the Bald- Eagle, for the Body and part of the Neck being of aDarkBrmis», the Upper-part of the Neck and Head is cover’d with a White-fort of Dow», where it looks very Bald, whence it is so Nam’d. The 3 dfort is the Black-Eagle, reftmbling moff the Englifh Eagle : they Build theirNests much aster the mannet that Dr .Wifiougbby describes, and generallyatthe Top of some Tali Old Tree, naked of Boughs and nigh the RiverGde, and the People feli the Tree generally when they take rhe Young,

They are most frequentiy sitting on forne Tali Tree by the River fide,whence they may have a Profpect Up and Down the River, as I suppo so,to obsorve the lißiing-Hawkr, for when they see the Fifliing-Hawk has-struck a Fißj, immediateiy they Take Wing and ’tis sometimes very pleasancto behold the Fight, for when the Fijhing-Hawk perceives her felf pur-siied, (he will Screara and make a Terrible Noise, till at length fhe letfall the Fists to make her own escape, which the Eagle frequently catche 3-before it reach the Eartb or Water.

There’s both the Raven and Carrion-Cnw.

The Nigbt-Raven which some call the Virginian Eat, is about the Bigneftof a Cuckw, Feather’d like them but very (hört, and fhort Legg’d notDiscernable when it Flies 3 which is only in the Evening, Scudding hke ourNtgbt-Raven.
