'THIS and the following are the largeft of the ftrait-billed Hum- 

 ming-birds ; the one here defcribed being four inches eight 

 lines in length : the whole upper part of the body is light gilded 

 green : the under part grey : the two middle tail feathers the co- 

 lour of the back; but the others are of a polifhed brown, tipped 

 with white : but what diftinguifhes this from any other of the 

 fpecies, is the breadth of three or four of the quills of each wing, 

 the (hafts of which are fpread out much in breadth, and bent in 

 the middle, fo as to give the wing the appearance of a fahre. 

 This came from Cayenne: is a fcarce fpecies.
