The little BLACK, WHITE, andRED, INDIAN        CREEPER.
T      H I S curious little Bird is figured of its natural Bignefs: I have
given it the Name of Creeper from the Agreement in the Shape
of the Bill with our Creeper, it being bowed down and fharp pointed.
The Bill is of a Black Colour, cleft pretty deep in under the Eyes,
from the Bill to the Point of the Tail; the upper Side is of a deep
Black, except fome bright Scarlet Spots, the firfi of which begins a little
behind the Bill, and takes up all the Top of the Head from Eye to Eye;
the fecond is in the Middle of the hinder Part of the Neck; the third
croffes the Middle of the Back; and the fourth and laft takes up the co-
vert Feathers of the Tail: The Tail and Wings are wholly Black, all
the black Parts being very gloffy, and reflecting a dark Blue: The whole
under Side, Throat, Neck, Breafi, Belly, Thighs, and covert Feathers
under the Tail, are White; the ILegs, Feet, and Claws, are Black.
My Friend Mr. Dandridge, in Moorfields, obliged me with a Sight of
this elegant Bird, which was fent to him from Bengal in the EafJ-Indies;
it was neatly ftuffed, and very well preserved, and frefh in its Colours.

7Ve double SWALLOW-TAIL'D BUTTERFLY.
Tt H E Body, Legs, and Horns, are Black; the Wings are of a
very fine Blue-colour; the upper Wings bordered on their outer
Edges, and at their Ends, with Black; the under Wing bordered only
on their outer Edges with Black, with a round black Spot in each at
their Ends, with a little black Mark without that: The four Tails are of
a dusky Colour tipped with White.  The late Mr. William Goupey, of
Surry-Street, obliged me with a Cafe of Infedts, wherein this was
inclofed; but could give me no Account from whence it came. The
under Side is of a dull Blue, bordered with Brown, and fpotted with
near Forty round and irregular black Spots, each Spot having a fine
Line of a paler Blue palling round it.
