   • 1646, Sir Thomas Browne, Pseudodoxia Epidemica, XVIII:

     instead of a caligation or dimness, we conclude a cecity or blindness. Which hath been frequently inferred concerning other Animals, so some affirm the Water-Rat is blind, so Sammonicus and Nicander do call the Mus-Araneus, the shrew or Ranny, blind [...].
