Certain animals]

THERE is another beast called Serwoy,90 as big as a cat. Its hair is whitish-grey or dark grey, and it has a cat’s tail. When it breeds it has a litter of about six young, more or less, and in its belly it has a pouch about half a span long in which is a second skin, for the belly is not open. In this pouch are the teats, and wherever it goes it carries its young in its pouch between the two skins. I have often helped to catch them, and have taken the young out of the pouch.
