feemsat firft fight to be made ofblack horfe- 
hair. Catefby has given his Idler us Minor 
a hen, which Teems to me rather to be- 
long to his Baltimore Bird in the foregoing 
plate 48. There is another bird publifhed 
and defcribed by this name, and faid to 
be a bird of Jamaica, though it is, accord- 
ing to Dr. Browne’s report, a native of the 
continent of New Spain, and not found in 
that ifland. See Albin’s Hiftory of Birds, 
vol. II. pla. 40, where he calls it the Bo- 
nan a Bird. Catefby calls the fame bird 
the Yellow and Black Pye. See his Ap- 
pendix, p. 5. Sloafie has alfo called it the 
Yellow and Black Pye, See his Hilt, of 
Jamaica, vol. II. p. 301, tab. CCLIX. 
fig. 4. This differs from our bird, in that 
it is a little bigger, in having the head 
wholly black, the bill longer in propor- 
tion, and a bar of black a-crofs the upper 
part of the back. Mr. Ray, and Sir Hans 
Sloane, make the Jupujuba fen Japu of 
Marggrave the fame with the Merits Mi- 
nor , &c. But I have carefully compared 
the defcriptions of both thefe birds, and 
find no fimilitude between them. Dr. 
Browne, in his Natural Hiftory of Jamaica, 
fays, the leffer Bonana Bird builds its neft 
with the fibrous part of the Renealmia . 
See his Hiftory, p. 477.
