Grew, Musaeum Regalis (1685) Tatu Porcinus. Nierembergius

Grew, Musaeum Regalis (1685) The LEG of a DODO. Called Cygnus Cucullatus, by Nierembergius; by Clusius, Gallus Gallinaceus Peregrinus; by Bontius called Dronte; who saith, That by some it is called (in Dutch) Dod-aers. Largely described in Mr. Willughby's Ornithol. out of Clusius and others. He is more especially distinguished from other Birds by the Membranous Hood on his Head, the greatness and strength of his Bill, the littleness of his Wings, his bunchy Tail, and the shortness of his Legs. Abating his Head and Legs, he seems to be much like an Ostrich; to which also he comes near, as to the bigness of his Body. He breeds in Mauris's Island. The Leg here preserved is cover'd with a reddish yellow Scale. Not much above four inches long; yet above five in thickness, or round about the Joynts: wherein, though it be inferior to that of an Ostrich or a Cassoary, yet joyned with its shortness, may render it of almost equal strength.

Selections from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London (1665-1669)

This which We Dissected was sent to Mr. Henry Loades, a Merchant in London, from Virginia; who was pleased not only to gratify the curiosity of the R. Society in shewing it them alive, but likewise gave it them when dead, and so afforded them an opportunity of farther satisfaction in observing the inward parts of it; which I find so conformable in almost all respects to those of a Viper, that I have taken the liberty of placing it in that Classe, and (since it has not yet, that I know of, any Latine Name) of giveing it that of Vipera Caudisona; for as I am inform'd by Merchants, 'tis Viviparous, and the Epithet sufficiently differences it from those that have no Rattle, although of these too there ought to be made a Subdivision. But I shall concern my self at present only with the Anatomy, which I think is yet given by None: tho to me it seems the most principal part in a Natural History of Animals: and for other Accounts I shall refer to Georg. Marcgravius, Gul. Piso, Johnston, Nierembergius, Joan de Laet, Fran. Hernandez, and others that have wrot of it; who describe it under the Names of Boiçininga, or Boiçinininga, and Boiquira, which are the Brasile Names. By the Portugues's 'tis called Cascavela and Tangador: by the Dutch, Raëtel-Schlange: by those of Mexico, Teutlacocauhqui, or Teuhtlacotzauhqui, (i.e.) Domina Serpentum, and from its swift motion on the Rocks like the Wind, Hoacoatl.
