A voyage to the islands, Madera, Barbados, Nieves, S. Christophers and Jamaica with the natural history of the herbs and trees, four-footed beasts, fishes, birds, insects, reptiles, &c. of the last of those islands; to which is prefix'd an introduction, wherein is an account of the inhabitants, air, waters, diseases, trade, &c. of that place, with some relations concerning the neighbouring continent, and islands of America. Illustrated with figures of the things described, which have not been heretofore engraved; in large copper-plates as big as the life / By Hans Sloane.
A black-and-white engraved plate, marked Tab 19, shows two views of a rounded, bristly object covered in knobbed, spiky projections, one view revealing an opening. Fine hatching models the textures against a pale ground, with a printed Latin caption beneath.
