JAMAICA WOODPECKER. 
on the motion, Sec. of the tongue of the 
Woodpecker, may consult Meraoires de i'Aca- 
demie, &c. of Paris, for the year 1709, or 
the Abridged English Translation, by Martvn 
and Chambers. The figures, both in the ori- 
ginal, and translation, are very elegant. There 
is also an account of it's anatomy in the Phi- 
losophical Transactions, No. 350. See, also, 
a figure of the head, and tongue, in Willugh- 
by's Ornithology, Tab. xxi. The same struc- 
ture of the tongue runs through the whole 
genus of A\^oodi)eckcr?. The abovemen- 
tioned Dr. Browne," concludes Edwards, "has 
given a description of this bird; [See his Na- 
tural History of Jamaica, Folio, London l"5o, 
p. 414.] but omitted giving a figure, having 
referred his readers to my Natural History, 
for the figures of scvtral of the birds which lie 
has described.'*
