The SKIN of a RATTLE-SNAKE; a Serpent so called, from the Rattle at the end of his Tail. By the Natives of Brasile, BOICININGA. Well described by Franciscus Ximenez; and from him by Joh. de Læt. But his Rattle is no where well pictur'd. Neither doth Ximenez, or any other Author observe the true structure of it.
