In this land the inhabitants are tawny colored. They eat only seals and whales and the meat of gazelles and the roots of plants. They dress in skins, and wear sheaths over their natural parts. Their weapons are poles of olive wood to which a horn, browned in the fi re, is attached. They have many dogs like those in Portugal, which bark the same as well. Th e birds of this land are also like those in Portugal: cormorants, gulls, turtle doves, crested larks, and many others.
