232 CURIOUS CREATURES.
the veracious history, of the Sea-cow : " The Sea Cow
is a huge Monster, strong, angry, and injurious; she
brings forth a young one like to herself; yet not above
two, but one often, which she loves very much, and
leads it about carefully with her, whithersoever she
swims to Sea, or goes on Land. Lastly this Creature
is known to have lived 130 years, by cutting off her
tail."
Olaus Magnus calls the Seal, the Sea-calf; and with
trifling exceptions, gives a fair account of its habits,
only there are some points which differ from the modern
Seal, at all events: "The Sea-Calf, which also in
Latine is called Hel-
ens, hath its name
from the likeness of
a Land-Calf, and it"
hath a hard fleshy
body ; and therefore
it is hard to be
killed, but by break-
ing the Temples of
the head. It hath a voice like a Bull, four feet, but
not his ears ; because the manner and mansion of its
life is in the Waters. Had it such ears, they would
take in much Water, and hinder the swimming of it.
. . . They will low in their sleep, thence they are
called Calves. They will learn, and with their voyce
and countenance salute the company, with a confused
murmuring ; called by their names, they will answer,
and no Creature sleeps more profoundly. The Fins
that serve them for to swim in the Sea, serve for legs
on Land, and they go hobling up and down as lame

people do. Their Skins, though taken from their bodies,

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
