 shoulders of the wings as the rump ; tail rather forked, dusky, the

Inhabits Brazil. — In the collection of Lord Stanley. This bird 

 seems doubtful, having some markings in common with the Green- 

 headed one, especially the black at the beginning of the back. 



A similar one was also in the collection of General Davies, which 

 may probably be also a young bird, or Variety : in this the head as 

 far as the gape, and upper part of the neck quite to the back, dull 

 rufous; beginning of the back greenish black, from thence to the 

 rump more green ; greater part of the wing coverts pale dusky green ; 

 bastard wing black ; quills black, edged with green ; all beneath 

 from the chin pale bluish green ; wings and tail glossy ; bill and 

 legs black.
