little Black, White, and Red, Indian Creeper.' 
T his curious little Bird is figured of its natural Bignefs : I have 
giv'en 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 fbme bright Scarlet Spots, the firft 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 
crofles 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 glofly, and reflefting a dark Blue : The whole 
under Side, Throat, Neck, Breaft, Belly, Thighs, and covert Feathers 
under the Tail, are White ; the Legs, Feet, and Claws, are Black, 
My Friend Mr. Dandridge, in Moorjields, obliged me with a Sight of 
this elegant Bird, which was lent to him from Bengal in the Eajl-Indies ; 
it was neatly fluffed, and very well preferved, and frelh in its Colours. 
‘The double Swallow-tail’d Butterfly. 
T 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 Infeds, wherein this was 
inclofed ; but could give me no Account from whence it came. The 
under Side is of a didl 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.
