SPOTTED SAW-BILLED HUMMING-BIRD. 121 



Bide, and contrasting finely with the dark parts ; the 

 feet are remarkably small and slender. M. Lesson has 

 formed from this species his subgenus Ramphodon, 

 under which it should now stand. It is yet a solitary 

 representative, and the female is unnoticed by any 

 ornithological writer.
