of Alkes, which alſo abound here, are more eatable than the large ones. Beſides this vaſt Number of Sea Fowls, there is yet one of a ſmaller Size, by the Natives called Tungoviarſeck, which for its beautiful Feathers Sake, ought not to be forgot: It has the Size and Shape of a Lark.
The Wild Geeſe, after they have laid their Eggs, and hatched them, return with their young ones Southwards.Wild Geeſe or grey Geeſe keep to the Northward of Greenland; they are of Shape like other Geeſe, ſomewhat ſmaller, with grey Feathers. They take their Flight from other Southern Climates, over to Greenland every Spring, for to breed their young ones; which when grown and able to fly, they carry along with them and return to the more Southern and milder Climate, where they paſs the Winter-Seaſon.
In ſhort, I have myſelf found in Greenland all the ſeveral Sorts of Sea-Fowls whichwe
very Dung of Animals; ſome of which Inſects often change their Kind and Shape, viz. from a ſmall Worm into a flying Animal; as Flies, Beetles, Butterflies and ſo forth.
