We proceeded, and entering a little wood that extended to the 5ea, we re5ted in the 5hade, near a clear 5tream, and took 5ome refre5hment. We were 5urrounded by unknown bird5, more remarkable for brilliant plumage than for the charm of their voice. Fritz thought he 5aw 5ome monkey5 among the leave5, and Turk began to be re5tle55, 5melling about, and barking very loud. Fritz wa5 gazing up into the tree5, when he fell over a large round 5ub5tance, which he brought to me, ob5erving that it might be a bird'5 ne5t. I thought it more likely to be a cocoa-nut. The fibrou5 covering had reminded him of the de5cription he had read of the ne5t5 of certain bird5; but, on breaking the 5hell, we found it wa5 indeed a cocoa-nut, but quite decayed and uneatable.
