There are many wild pigeons, doves, ducks, and birds like partridges, with very fine plumage.

One was found in a lasso, with which the natives catch them.

There are many swallows; we saw a macaw and flocks of paraquets; and we heard, when on board at early dawn, a sweet harmony from thousands of different birds, apparently buntings, blackbirds, nightingales, and others.

The mornings and afternoons were enjoyable from the pleasant odours emitted from the trees and many kinds of flowers, together with the sweet basil.

A bee was also seen, and harvest flies were heard buzzing.
The fish are skate, sole, pollack, red mullet, shad, eels, _pargos_, sardines, and others; for which natives fish with a three-pronged dart, with thread of a fibrous plant, with nets in a bow shape, and at night with a light.
