White and green Kingfisher. Lath. syti. 



DESCRIBED by Buffon: length seven inches: the 

 whole upper parts are of a glossy blackish green, 

 but the wings are marked on the larger coverts 

 ati'l the smaller quill-feathers with scattered white 

 spots: from the corners of the bill on each side 

 passes a white streak beneath the eye to the back 

 part of the head, forming a white collar: the under 

 parts are white, clouded or varied with a few dark 

 green spots, and across the breast of the male runs 

 a broad ferruginous bar: the tail is rather long 

 than short in proportion to the body; the bill 

 black, and the legs red. Native of Cayenne,
