HUMMING-BIRD. 361 



brown ; quills violet brown ; two middle tail feathers green-gold ; 

 the others black, with white tips, and base white. 



Inhabits South America. Supposed, by M. Vieillot, to be allied 

 to the Mango Humming-Bird ; possibly the young, in the last year's 

 plumage. 



93— WHITE-TEMPLED HUMMING-BIRD. 



Oiseau-mouche au temps blanches, Voy. d' Azara, iii. 

 White-templed Humming-Bird, Shaiv's Zool. viii. 349. 



LENGTH three inches and a half. Bill red for half the length, 

 the rest black ; from the eyes to sides of the hindhead a white stripe, 

 and beneath a second of black ; the two outer tail feathers tipped 

 with a whitish spot, nearly vanishing on the third feather. 



Inhabits Paraguay. Both sexes alike. 



94— WHITE-COLLARED HUMMING-BIRD. 



LENGTH three inches. Bill half an inch, strait, black ; the 

 plumage above gilded green ; chin and throat pale rufous, with 

 mottlings of darker, and here and there a glowing carbuncle-like 

 feather ; above the breast white, passing round the neck as a collar, 

 but not quite surrounding it ; breast and beneath green ; the quills 

 dusky ; tail feathers narrow, dusky, rufous half way from the base 

 on the inner webs ; legs black ; shape of the tail uncertain, as only 

 the two exterior feathers were attached to the bird. 



A specimen of the above in the collection of Mr. Bullock, and 

 may probably be a young bird, which, in its adult state, will have 

 the whole of the throat of a glowing carbuncle-colour.
