Summary[edit]

Description
English: Olaus Magnus tel's that a Sea-monfter taken at Bergen, with the head and fhape of a Calf, was given him by a certain Englifh Gentleman. The like of which was presented lately to King Charls the ninth, and was long kept living in the waters at Fountain-Bleau, and it went oft-times a fhore. This is much different from the common Sea-calf or Seal. (*. This here figured is the fea Morf, taken commonly by our men in their greenland voiages: and I judg the fea Bore and Elephant to bee the fame, but that the Paninter hath fhewed his skil too much in the one: and the other is an old Morf, as this here figured is a young one.)
