粤语地区记载：产于西樵山的岩洞中，体型大如乳燕，脚上长有翅膀末端。《本草纲目》石燕条目引用《日华子本草》，没有治疗疳积的说法，如今广东人使用此药颇为有效，因此补充记录。
治疗小儿疳积，身体消瘦，取食后即刻痊愈。谚语说：“婴儿瘦弱，探取石燕（此处原文可能有缺字或通假，指代石燕或相关物），即此。”
张氏《日钞》记载：这是大鹏鸟的精气所化。大鹏鸟单独飞行没有雌鸟相伴，在海面平静无波的日子，看到它的影子在水下，误认为是雌鸟，其精气溢出，落在土上变成土锸；落在木上变成木锸；只有落在石上不失去本性，效果最佳；如果落入水中，用妇女衣物投入水中，它能自己跃出水面。
按语：石锸属于慎恤胶一类。浸泡在酒中服用，能壮阳，使人有子嗣。用姜酒可以解其毒性。
蛋鸬（注：原文“蛋”疑为衍文或特定称呼，结合下文“鸬”及描述，实指鸬鹚）：形状像鹅但颜色黑而面部红，俗称摸鱼公，水乡人家多饲养用来捕鱼；十月后用狗肉喂养，则身体温暖不怕寒冷，即使破冰入水，也不会冻死。
治疗肾咳，俗称顿呛，咳嗽从小腹下方逆冲而上，连续咳嗽数十声，稍停后又发作；严重时一咳嗽必定呕吐，牵引两胁疼痛。取一个白水煮服，胎儿即化为血水，从小便排出，最多服用两次，无不灵验。
翠鸟，即鱼翠，其舌头大而可用。《本草纲目》鱼狗条目下，只说其肉可治鱼骨卡喉，并附带提到翡翠（可能指羽毛或混淆）；也说医方书中没有使用此药的，其功效大约相同，现在补充记录其舌头的用途。
针头风集听方：翠鸟舌头一个，用桐油浸泡晒干，再浸泡再晒干，硬得像三棱针一样，当病发时，将鸟舌……（原文此处中断）
珍异药品：头部白色，翅膀黄色，脚黄色。治疗咽喉痛。
Cantonese dialect records: Produced in the rock caves of Xiqiao Mountain, large as a fledgling swallow, with wings growing at the ends of its feet. *Bencao Gangmu* (Compendium of Materia Medica), under the entry for Shiyan (Stone Swallow), citing *Rihua Zi Bencao*, has no mention of treating gan syndrome (pediatric malnutrition). Nowadays, people in Guangdong use it quite effectively, so it is added here.
It treats pediatric gan syndrome and emaciation in children; taking it leads to immediate recovery. The proverb says: "If an infant is thin, probe for [Shiyan], this is it."
It is used in Li's Funaowan (Bat Brain Pill). It treats carbuncles and ulcers where the toxin sinks inward; taking it prevents the toxin from attacking the heart.
Zhang's *Ri Chao* (Daily Notes) records: This is the essence of the Peng bird (mythical giant bird). The Peng bird flies alone without a mate. On days when the sea is calm and waveless, seeing its shadow below, one mistakes it for a female; its essence overflows and falls onto the earth becoming Tu Cha (Earth Spade); onto wood becoming Mu Cha (Wood Spade); only when falling on stone does it retain its true nature, which is best; if it falls into water, throwing a woman's garment into the water allows it to leap out by itself.
Note: Shicha (Stone Spade) belongs to the category of Shenxujiao (Astringent Gum). Soaking it in wine and drinking it strengthens yang and promotes fertility. Ginger wine can resolve its toxicity.
Luotu (Cormorant): Shape like a goose but black with a red face, commonly called "Moyugong" (Fish-Grabbing Master); households in water towns often raise them to catch fish; after October, feeding them dog meat makes their bodies warm and resistant to cold, so even breaking ice to enter water, they do not freeze to death.
It treats kidney cough, commonly known as Dunqiang (sudden choking cough), where coughing reverses upward from the lower abdomen, continuing for dozens of times before pausing and restarting; severely, every cough induces vomiting and pulls pain across both hypochondria. Taking one boiled in plain water causes the fetus to transform into bloody fluid and exit via urination; taking up to two doses is invariably effective.
Cuiniao (Kingfisher), also known as Yu Cui, has a large tongue that is usable. *Bencao Gangmu*, under the entry for Yugou (Heron/Kingfisher), only states that its meat can treat fish bone impaction, and attaches a note about Feicui (Jade); it also says medical texts do not use this, but its efficacy is roughly the same. Now, the use of its tongue is added.
Zhentou Feng Jiting Formula: One Cuiniao tongue, soaked in tung oil, dried, then soaked and dried again until hard as a three-edged needle. When the disease attacks, place the bird's tongue... [Text cuts off]
Rare Medicinal Product: White head, yellow wings, yellow feet. Treats throat pain.
Rare Medicial Product: Produced in Guangdong. Sun Xiachuan said: This creature eats many Yujin (Curcuma aromatica) seedlings in the mountains, so its meat is loose and crisp. It resolves depression and dissipates stagnant qi.
