sample: BRANTA, or BERNICULA. A kind of Goose in England and Scotland, which has been the Subject of many fabulous Stories; as that it grows on Trees, and hangs on the Trunk or Branches; or is generated of rotten Wood. It is described by Aldrov. Ornith. Lib. 19. Cap. 23. Its Flesh is more unsavoury and rank, than of the common Goose, but is esteem'd a Delicacy in the inland Parts of Scotland.
