Fig. 2 reprefents the Jacarini * of 
Marcgrave ; whofe delcription Willughby 
has tranflated into his Ornithology, p. 258. 
But as no figure is given by the above 
authors, I was glad of an opportunity to 
draw it. The Portuguefe call it Negretto. 
It is a granivorous bird, and hath a mid- 
dling thick fhort bill, of a dufky colour. 
The plumage is wholly black, of an ex- 
ceeding fine polifhed furface, like bur- 
11 ilhed fled, and, when expofed to a pro- 
per light, reflects a very beautiful dark 
blue over the body, and fometimes a 
greenifh colour on the neck and wings : 
the legs and feet are made after the ufual 
manner, and of a tawny flefh-colour. 
Marcgrave fays the infides of the wings 
are white. The fide- feathers of the tail 
turn outward, as expreffed in the figure. 
Thefe two birds were the property of 
the obliging and curious Taylor White, 
Efqj of Lincoln’s- Inn, who favoured me 
with a fight of them. The firfl was a 
dried fpecimen, called by thole who 
brought it from India the Malacca Wren ; 
which name I chofe to alter, the bird 
having nothing of the Wren in it but its 
fize. The fecond bird was living in a cage, 
which I could not have home with me : 
fo that I only drew and coloured it by 
memory y but afterwards compared my 
draught with the bird, and found that 
they nearly agreed. 
The Little Yellow and Black Butterfly, 
fig. 3, hath its head, body, legs, &c. of 
a dufky colour : all the wings on both 
fades are yellow, bordered pretty deeply 
on their upper fides with blackifh or 
dufky, each of the longer wings having 
a fmali fpot of black : the wings beneath 
have a little red on their extreme borders, 
betides a round fpot of the fame colour 
on each of the fhorter wings. It is a na- 
tive of South Carolina. 
La figure, N. 2, reprefente le Jacarini 
de Marcgrave *, dont Willughby a tr adult la 
defeription dans fin Ornithologie f ; man 
comme ces auteurs nen donnent point de fi- 
gure, f ai ete bien aife de trouver Voccajion 
de le dejfmer. Les Portugal Vappellent 
Negretto. Get oifeau fe nourrit de grain 
il a le bee mediocrement gros et court, ef 
d'une couleur obfeure. Lout fin plumage eft 
noir, d'un eclat magnifique femblable a de 
Vacier poll ; qttand il eft place dans un jour 
favorable, le corps reflechit un ires beau bleu 
turc, et quelquefoes le cou et les ailes refie- 
chijjent un vert ebarmant : les jambes et les- 
pattes font comme a V ordinaire, et d'un cou- 
leur de chair olivdtre. Marcgrave dit que 
le deffous des ailes eft blanc. Les plumes 
des cote's de la queue fe tournent en dehors , 
come la figure V exprime. 
Ces deux oifeaux appartenoient a I'obli- 
geant et curieux M. Taylor White, de Lin - 
colne-Inne, qui men a permis la vue. Le 
premier etoit un fujet dcjecke, que ceux qui 
Vavoient apporte des Indes, appelloient Roi- 
telet de Malacca ; nom que jai cru devoir 
changer , V oifeau n ayant rien en foi du Rot - 
teiet, que la grofjeur. Le fecond oifeau etoit 
dans une cage, que je ne pus avoir chez mot : 
de forte que je le deffinai et le mis en cou- 
leur Jimplement de memoire y mais enfuite je 
comparai mon dejfein avee /’ oifeau, et je 
trouvai que favois reufii a peu de chofe pres , 
Le Petit Papillon Jaune et Noir, fig. 3, 
a la tete, k corps et les jambes, d'une couleur 
obfeure : toutes les ailes font jaune s de cote ct 
d' autre, bordees, afj'ez avant , de noir cu d'ob - 
feur, chacune des grande s ailes ay ant une petite 
tache noire : les ailes ont en dejjous un peu de 
rouge a Vextremite de leurs bords, outre une 
tache ronde de la metne couleur fur chacune 
des petites ailes . 11 vient de la Caroline 
meridionak.
