Description of the plate found in "Explanation of the plates," discusses the imperfect machine the two women are using to separate the seeds of the cotton from the fiber. It discusses the water jar and two "cuja with tubes for sucking up liquids," as well as the net which the author used for catching butterflies and the bow which discharged balls and not arrows.
