subferruginous wings, and white-edged tail. 

 Le Vert-dore a queue blanche et vert. Viell. pi. 41. 



THIS Monsr. Viellot considers as a species be- 

 fore undescribed: its total length is about five 

 inches, and its habit, according to Viellot's figure, 

 somewhat resembles that of the T. superciliosus, 

 though the bill is far shorter in proportion, and less 

 curved : the tail also is slightly rounded, the two 

 middle feathers hardly exceeding the rest in length : 

 the edge of the shoulders are white, and a small 

 white streak appears over the eye: the upper 

 mandible is black; the lower white with black 

 tip : the legs yellowish. Native of Guiana.
