Genera of Huiuniiiig Birds. 57 



Median rectrices bronzy-green, lateral gra}- at base, then pur- 

 plish-brown with white tips. Bill and feet blaek. 



This species is very abundant in Brazil, Trinidad, (miana, 

 and Columbia. 



Chrysolampis giglioli, Oustalet, was a made u]) bird 

 fabricated in Colombia with half a specimen ot C. uiosc/iifus, 

 and the other half of Florisuga mellivora. 



Chrysolampis iiifiiniafiis, Berlepsch, can only be a dark 

 coloured bird of C. j)iochifiis, and I don't think it can stand 

 as a species.
