PLATE XCVI. 
The Small Spotted Woodpeckers, 
Here given, are the fmalleft of their kind, and has, like the larger ones, a ftrong briftly tail, 
^hich IS their fupport againft the trees; for they generally fettle againft the fides, like all of this 
defcription ; their food is fmall infeas of all forts : thefe are more tame than any of this fpecies ; 
their neft is generally to be met with in the hole of an apple-tree. The very few we have of thefe 
birds are chiefly to be found in gardens. They have no particular quality to render them valuable ; 
nor are they a bird of fong.
