Ginera of Humming Birds. 5 



spot, metallic lilac. Median rectrices bronzy green, lateral, 

 gray at base, then black with white tips. 



This fine species was dedicated to Marquis Costa de 

 Beauregard, who was a very enthusiast collector, and had in his 

 time one of the finest collection of Humming Birds. 



I bought his collection in 1878, and I found among many 

 rare species, what I consider as the types, male and female of 

 this species.
