400 Genera of HummiJi^^ Birds. 



Types in my Collection, to be forwarded shortly to the Paris 

 Museum, with all my other types of birds, and where they 

 can be seen by applying to Mr. Oustalet, Assistant Curator 

 of the Ornithological Department.

Garlepp's Sapphire. 



r Hylochare de Garîepp.

Specious Sapphire. 



I' Hylochare spécieux.

Male. — Upperparts dark bronzy-green, a very slight coppery 

 tinge on the uppertail-coverts, but none at all on the crown 

 which is of the same dark hue as the back. Throat and breast 

 glittering blue with greenish reflections on sides of neck and 

 breast. Flanks gray, washed with bluish-green. Middle of 

 the abdomen, vent, and undertail coverts pure white. Median 

 rectrices bronze ; lateral and outermost ones bluish-black with 

 gray tips. Maxilla black. Mandible flesh colour with black 



tip.

It it possible that although there are great differences of 

 colouration between my unique specimen of H. lactea and 

 these, that it may turn out to be only the same species.
