“[...] the Sea-Crow[, so called] from his Blackness.”

“[page 137:] And here the Dory spends his easy Days. / Here Sea-Crows dwell, nam'd from their dusky Hue, / And tim'rous Shade-Fish the blind Haunts pursue. [page 244:] Here sea-crows dwell, and the lov'd haunt pursue, / Smeetch'd with dark stain, and nam'd from dusky hue.”
