(The Man in the Moon,) The Loon is described by Sir Thomas Broirne, as — ** a handsome and specious fowl, cristated, and with divided fin feet placed very backward, and after the manner of all such which the ^tch call arsvoote. They come about April, and breed in the broad ^'aten; so making ...their nest on the water, that their eggs are seldom dry widle they axe Bet on." (Vol. iv. p. 314.)
