  Two 
  small 
  Bee-eaters 
  from 
  the 
  Hummocks 
  (18th 
  Sept.) 
  

   seem 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  but 
  neither 
  of 
  them 
  is 
  in 
  full 
  

   plumage, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  impossible 
  to 
  decide 
  the 
  question 
  without 
  

   other 
  skins 
  to 
  compare 
  them 
  with.

   washed 
  with 
  blue 
  on 
  wings 
  and 
  tail 
  ; 
  rump 
  brilliant 
  pale 
  

   blue 
  ; 
  throat 
  grass-green 
  washed 
  with 
  pale 
  blue 
  ; 
  breast 
  

   grass-green, 
  paler 
  towards 
  the 
  abdomen, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  almost 
  

   white 
  and 
  is 
  washed

  pale 
  blue, 
  more 
  so

   central 
  tail-feathers 
  extend 
  ()"3 
  inch 
  beyond 
  the 
  others, 
  

   but 
  are 
  worn

  should 
  perhaps 
  be 
  longer. 
  Over 
  the 
  

   crown 
  and 
  mantle 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  chestnut 
  feathers 
  are 
  

   appearing. 
  Under 
  surface 
  of 
  wing 
  chestnut. 
  Probably 
  in 
  

   full 
  plumage 
  this 
  bird

  have 
  chestnut 
  head 
  and 
  mantle 
  

   and 
  a 
  bright 
  blue 
  throat.
