I take the laft-delbribed bird to be a 
cock, and that I have already figured in 
my Hiftory of Birds, plate 83, which I 
have called the Black and Yellow Mana- 
kin, to be a hen of this fpecies. Petiver, 
in his Gazophylacium, See, plate 46, fig. 
12, has given a figure of my Red and 
Black Manakin, which he calls, Avicula , 
forte Surinamenfis , e nigro rubroqne mixta.* 
The Blue- backed Manakin is the pro- 
perty of my good friend Mr. James 
Leman, who has fet it very curioufly in a 
glafs-cafe, and obliged me with the ufe 
of it to take a drawing. Mr. Millan 
obliged me with the other bird figured 
with it : they are fuppofed to be both of 
them birds of Surinam; and I believe 
that no figure of the upper Bird hath 
yet been published. There are drawings 
in colours of thefe Birds in the late Sir 
Hans Sloane’s (now the Britifh) Mufeum. 
Thefe were etched on the plates immedi- 
ately from the birds themfelves.

Je prends P oifeau dernier decrit pour le 
male , et celui dont jai deja donne ia figure 
dans mon Hfioire Naturelle *, et que jai 
appelle le Manaquin noir et jaune y pour la 
femelle de la mime efpece. Petiver a donne 
line figure de mon Manaquin rouge et noir 
quil appelle , Avicula, forte Surinamenfis, 
e nigro rubroque mixta; cefi-a-dire y Petit 
oifeau mele de rouge et de noir, qui 
pourroit bien £tre de Surinam. Le Mana- 
quin d dos bleu appartient d mon bon ami y 
M . Jag. Leman , qui le garde enjerme dans 
une tres belle boete de verre, et qui a bien 
voulu men permettre P ufage y pour le de finer. 
M. Millan nia fait le plaijir de me priter 
r autre , qui Paccompagne: on fuppofe quils 
font tous deux de Surinam ; et je crois quon 
7 i a point encore public de figure de l Oifeau 
du haut de la planche. II y avoit des def- 
feins de ces Oijeaux dans le cabinet de feu le 
Chevalier Hans Shane. Ceux-ci ont etc 
graves fur la planche immediatement d'apres 
les fujets mimes .
