That from which I drew my figure, was the property of the good and very obliging Mrs. Cannon, formerly midwife to the Royal Family, who informed me, that it fed on several sorts of things, as biscuits, fruits, greens, insects, snails, &c. and that once, when let loose, it suddenly snatched a Chinese Goldfish out of a basin of water, which it killed, and greedily devoured; after which she gave him small live eels, which frighted him at first, by their twisting round his neck, but he soon mastered them, and eat them.
