[escoroba]xos y gusanos, y unos escorabajuelos que vuelan. Mata las gallinas y come los huevos, como la comadreja. Después de harta de comer, mata las gallinas y come las cabezas. Y después de harto, déxalas por ahí, por el suelo, muertas. La urina deste animal, o su freza, es cosa espantable del hedor que tiene. Parece cosa infernal y pestilencial. Espárcese por gran espacio. Y si alguno la quiere tomar, luego alza la cola y le rocía con la urina, o con la freza. Donde toca esta suciedad en la ropa, párase una mancha amarilla que jamás se puede quitar. Esta freza, si a alguno toca en los ojos, ciégale. Y si le comen los que tienen bubas, sanan. Y la carne, si la comen los gotosos, sanan.
\nMonas o micos hay munchas en esta tierra. Críanse en las partes que llaman Anáhuac, que es hacia oriente en respecto de México. Son estos animales barrigudos; tienen larga la cola; enróscanla. Tienen manos y pies como persona. Tienen uñas largas.
