The Wall-creeper, or Spider-catcher. 
T HE figure here reprefented was drawn 
and etched of its natural bignefs on 
the copper-plate, immediately from the 
Bird preferved dry. I fuppofe it to be a 
Hen Bird, became I find in Brifibn a good 
figure and defeription of the Cock, which 
differs from the under-deferibed only in 
having the throat black for an inch or 
more from the lower mandible of the bill. 
See Briffon’s Ornithology, Vol. III. P. 607.

raille. Brifibn gives the meafures of its 
parts, which in general were fomething 
fhorter than in my Bird. He fays the 
female differs from the male only in having 
the throat white. 
The bill is long and {lender, a little bowed 
downwards, and of a black or dufky colour. 
The noftrils are near the bafis of the bill. 
The top of the head is of a brownifh afh-
