172 THE EVENING HUMMING-BIRD. 



The Evening Humming-bird inhabits the neigh- 

 bourhood of Valparaiso, upon the naked and little- 

 wooded plains ; and the above quoted ornithologist 

 remarks, that the birds inhabiting these elevated, 

 almost mountainous plains, want the splendid lustre 

 to the upper plumage. Thus, T. cora is found in 

 Peru, T. cyanopoaon in Mexico, arid T. icsper in 

 Chili, all tinted as we have described.
