of the upper part of the wing, next the 
breaft, is tinged with a light yellow : the 
cheeks, breaft, belly, thighs, and covert- 
feathers under the tail, are of a light or 
whitifti afh-colour, without fpots : the legs 
and feet are of a reddifh flefh-colour. 
The BUTTERFLY hath the head 
red, the body brown, the lower body or 
tail yellow, with a dufky lift down its 
upper lide : the general colour of all the 
wings, both above and beneath, is yel- 
low : the longer wings, in the middle 
of their upper ftdes, have each a red fpot 
encompaffed with dufky, and eight duiky 
fpots on their extreme borders : the fhorter 
or under wings are marked round their 
borders with dufky fpots in form of the 
letter V : the wings on their under ftdes 
are a little clouded with dufky marks, 
and each wing hath in its middle part two 
white fpots bordered with reddifb. My 
obliging friend Mr. Henry Baker, F. R. S. 
furnifhed me with this, and the Little 
Yellow and Black Butterfly figured in plate 
3 06 of this work : he fays, they were 
brought from South Carolina. 
I have never feen the bird ; but thought 
Mr. Bartram's drawing of it very curious, 
and have reafon to be fatisfied as to his 
veracity and accuracy. I believe neither 
of the lubje&s of this plate have till now 
been known to us.
