Note l — BOOK IV. (continued 2)

The Nest of the Guira tangeima, the icterus minor, and the Jupujuba, or whatever other Name the American Hang-Nests may be called by, are of this Kind. Of which see Willughby’s Ornith. Lib. 2. Chap. 5. Sect. 12, 13. Also Dr. Grew’s Museum Reg. Soc. Part 1. Sect. 4. Chap. 4. These Nests I have divers Times seen, particularly in great Perfection in our R. S. Repository, and in the noble and well-furnished Museum of my often-commended Friend Sir Hans Sloane; and at the same Time I could not but admire at the neat Mechanism of them, and the Sagacity of the Bird, in hanging them on the Twigs of Trees, to secure their Eggs and Young from the Apes.
