Hay otra ave del agua que se llama acitli: quiere decir "liebre del agua". También es rara. Viene a esta laguna de México cuando las demás ya dichas. Tiene pequeña cabeza, negra, y el pico agudo y largo. Los ojos tiene colorados, como brasa. Es larguilla y grusezuela. Tiene el pecho blanco, y las espaldas negras, las plumas esteriores de las alas, blancas; los codillos, negros; los pies, negros, y hacia la cola, como los patos. Anda siempre hacia el medio de la laguna. Cázanla con red. Esta ave no vuela mucho. Cuan[do] van algunos con canua [sic] tras ella para flecharla, cuando ya llegan en los alcances para matarla, espelúzase toda, y comienza a dar voces llamando el viento; y luego se levanta el agua en grandes olas, y así desaparece delante de los pescadores, metiéndose debaxo del agua. Raramente se puede flechar. No cría por aquí, sino lexos. Es de buen comer.
