DESCRIPTION. 
/Piacs, 
HUMMANG BIRD. 
The female is greenifh brown above, and whitifh beneath, with 
dufky fpots on the breaft. 
The neft is chiefly compofed of pappofe down, as in the major 
part of this genus. I am indebted to Colonel Woodford for this 
defeription. 
HiS is about three inches and a quarter long: the bill black, three 
quarters of an inch in length, nearly ftrait, being only a trifle 
bent juft at the tip, the colour of it white: the head feathers a little 
elongated at the hind part: the general colour of the plumage is 
dufky, inclining here and there to blue: belly wholly dufky : between 
the bill and eye an orange fpot; chin orange, and the outer margins 
of the wing of the fame colour the whole of its length: tail blue 
above, orange beneath: legs black. 
From the drawings of Colonel Woodford; from whence it was 
brought uncertain.
