DELALANDE'S HUMMING-BIRD. 



Trochilus Delalandii VIEILLOI , 

 PLATE VII. FEMALE. 



Le Plumet bleu ; Ornismya Delalandii, Lesson, Histoirc 

 Naturette des Oiseaux-mouches, pi. xxiv. 



WE did not think the illustration of this beauti- 

 ful liule group complete without a representation of 

 a Female. The whole upper parts are of the gol- 

 der-green exhibited by the male ; but we lose every 

 trace of the splendid crest which adorns his crown. 

 The white spot behind the eye and the deep blue 

 upon the tail remains. The under parts are of a 

 rich smoke-grey, of a chaste and pleasing tint. 



The Male was represented in our first Volume, 

 Plate X.
