Atiove and below purple-blue ; lores, throat, wings, tail, and 

 under wing-coverts velvety black ; bill black ; feet flesh-colour : 

 whole length 3*7 inches, wing 2-2, tail I'l. Female. Above dark 

 green ; lores rufous ; below pale yellowish, with dark green stria-

Hal. South America, from Colombia down to Amazonia, Eastern 

 Peru and Bolivia ; to the north of Colombia replaced by the next 

 species. 



This is also a somewhat variable species ; but after examining 

 several large series, I think it better to keep all the specimens from 

 countries to the south of Panama under one specific name. This 

 bird does not seem to occur in South-east Brazil, but extends all 

 over Amazonia. The descriptions are taken from Cayenne skins.
