Adult male. Upper surface shining grass-green ; upper tail- 

 coverts bronzy green ; under surface shining emerald-green ; under 

 tail-coverts pure white ; tail steel-blue, central rcctrices washed 

 with dark bronzy green ; bill black. Total length about 4-8 inches, 

 wing 2-75 ; tail, central rectrices 1-5, lateral 1'85 ; bill 1'2. 



Adult female. Under surface grey ; flanks washed with shining 

 green ; lateral rectrices tipped with white. 



Some specimens, apparently females, have the grey of the under 

 surface washed with green, each feather having a faint green spot 

 towards the end. These may be young birds, but I have no evidence 

 on the point. The central rectrices of males differ in the extent to 

 which they are washed with a bronze hue. G. ceneicaada, Lawr., 

 appears to have been based upon a bird having this bronze tint in 

 excess.
