Plate 13. The Quaum, which by the Defcription is the fame with the ^uan, 
or Guan, was found wild on the IJlhmm of America , by Dampler. See his Voyages , 
V0l.LP.19.- 
Plate 20. Since the Publication of this Plate, I have feen another Rofe- 
colour'd Ouzel , which appeared to be of the very fame Species with that I have figur’d 
in my twentieth Plate. It was fhot in fune 1747, as it was feeding amongfl: Black¬ 
birds, [Merula] by Roger North , of Rougham in Norfolk , Efq; and at firft was ta¬ 
ken for a Blackbird accidentally variegated, but on farther Examination it was found 
to be the Rofe-colour'd Ouzel . From this, and the Account I have given in P. 20. 
of its being fhot at Norwood , near London , we may conclude that thele Birds are 
often brought into this Illand by Winds or other Caufes. Mr. North was fo good 
as to fend this Bird from his Seat in Norfolk to me in London , that I might make a 
Drawing of it, for which Favour I efleem my felt greatly obliged. Mr. North's Bird, 
had all the Covert-Feathers on the outer Sides of the Wings Black. 
P l a T e 21. I have difcovered by Drawings brought both from the Eaf and 
Wef-Indies , that there are many Birds of the Genus of the Blue-Creeper , which agree 
with mine exactly in Shape, and nearly in Size, but vary very much in Colour: 
They have Bills fomething longer than the little Bird we call the Creeper , (or Certhia) 
in England. 
Plate 26. This Bird feems more properly to belong to the Certhia , or 
Creeper-Kind , than the Blue-Creeper figur’d in Plate 21, and is not greatly unlike 
the Creeper found in England. 
Plate 32, to 38. Extract from JDampier' s Voyage to the Bay of Cam- 
peachy, P. 65, 66. “ The Humming Bird is a pretty little Creature, no bigger 
than a great overgrown Wafp, with a black Bill, no bigger than a fmall Needle, and 
his Legs and Feet in Proportion to his Body. This Creature does not wave his 
Wings like other Birds, when it dies, but keeps them in a continued quick Motion, 
like Bees or other Infedts, and like them makes a continual humming Noife as it 
flies. It is very quick in Motion, and haunts about Flowers and Fruit 
like a Bee gathering Honey, making many near Addrefles to its delightful 
Objects, by vifiting them on all Sides, and yet fiill keeping in Motion, fometimes 
on one Side, fometimes on the other ; as often rebounding a Foot or two back on a 
fudden, and as quickly returning again, keeping thus about one Flower five or fix 
Minutes, or more.” See my Figures in Plates 32, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 105. 
Plate 51. In a Manufcript Journal made by Mr. John Bartram, of Penjil- 
<uania, in the Year 1743, I find an Account of what are called Licking Pond 
which may properly be taken Notice of at the fame Time with this Deer fince it
