White-bellied Jacamar. (Gal. Albiventris.) 

 Vaill. 46. 



Golden-green, above; pure white, beneath, with a 

 patch of green on the breast. Brazil. 



But there are some in the Indian Archipelago, 

 whose bill, shorter, thicker, and a little bent, approxi- 

 mates them to the bee-eaters. The anterior toes are 

 more separated. These are the Jacamerops of 

 Le Vaillant. 



Great Jacamar. (Alcedo Grandis.) Gm. Galhula 

 Grandis. Lath. Vaill. pi. 54. 



Copper-green, above ; beneath, ferruginous. Eleven 

 inches long. Surinam. 



Le Vaillant describes one of these birds, whose bill 

 has no angle above. 



Vaillanfs Great Jacamar. Vaill. I. pi. 53. 



Head, cheeks, and rump, green-golden-blue; quills 

 and throat, white ; neck, breast, and belly, red. 



Jacamaciri is the Brazilian name of this bird, 

 according to Margrave. Galhula seems to have 

 meant the oriole with the Latins ; it is Meering who 

 has transferred this name to the jacamar. 



Lastly, there are some (the Jacamar Alcyori) which 

 have only three toes ; they live in Brazil.
