Piguin.
Dieser Vogel ist so groß als eine Gans, gehet aufgericht
wie ein Mensch und hatt anstatt der flügel zweene lappen
mit kurtzen federn, die gleichsam als zwo flußfedern oder
zweene armen zu beeden seiten herab hangen.

Sein schnabel ist etwas größer und breiter als eines
... schnabel, er hatt breite füße wie eine Ganß oder anten
der kopf und bauch ist weiß aber sonst überal schwartz,
doch haben etliche ein Weißringlein umb den halß.
Diese Vögel sind mehrentheils im Waßer und komen nicht
