The Notes.

1 Gesnerus de Quadrupedibus lib. 1. fol. 1. and Munster in the third booke of his Cos∣mographie in his treatise of Prussia (where this beast is found) name this beast in Greeke 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, in Latine Alces, in Dutch Elch, Ellend, Hellend, and Ellent: which is not far from the name heere giuen. The Moscouites name it Lozzos.

2 This beast, saith Munster Cosmog. lib. 4. is found in Lapponia or Lappenland, a coun∣trie in Sweden. The Lapponians call it Reen, as he writeth in the same place, and Gesner also de Quadrup. lib. 1. fol. 950. The Romans, saith Gesner, name it Rangiferus, the Ger∣mans Rein (and Reinen, saith Munster) Reiner, Rainger, Renschieron: the French men Rangier (as he is heere named) or Ranglier.
