little Black, White, and Red, Indian Creeper. 
T his curious little Bird is figured of its natural Bignefs: I Iiave 
given 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 fome bright Scarlet Spots, the firfi: of which begins a little 
behind the Bill, and tak®B 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 glofiy, and refleding a dark Blue: The whole 
under Side, Throat, Neck, Bread:, Belly, Thighs, and covert Feathers 
under the Tail, are White; the Legs, Feet, and Claws, are Black. 
My Friend Mr. Dandridgey in Moorfieldsy obliged me with a Sight of 
this elegant Bird, which was fent to him from Bengal in the Eajl-lndies ; 
it was neatly fluffed, and very well preferved, and frelh in its Colours. 
Hoe 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-Streety obliged me with a Cafe of Infers, wherein this was 
inclofed; but could give me no Account from whence it came. The 
under Side is of a dull Blue, bordered with Brown, and fpotted with 
near Forty round and irregular black Spots, each Spot having a fine 
Line of a paler Blue pafling round it.
