with in the province of Antioquia, where examples were obtained by Mr. Salmon, and also 

 occurs occasionally in " Bogota " collections. In the latter district it does not appear to be very 

 common ; but a female specimen of the regular " Bogota " manufacture is in my own collection, 

 and I have seen others similar. 



The upper plumage of G. ruficauda is of the usual brilliant coppery green of this group ; 

 the wing-feathers are blackish, the secondaries and coverts being edged with green like the back ; 

 below, the whole throat is pure white, separated from the chestnut abdomen by a green breast- 

 band ; the under wing-coverts and inner margins of the wings are rufous, paler on the primaries ; 

 the two middle tail-feathers are above bright green like the back, below greenish black, the 

 others are entirely chestnut-red ; the bill is black ; the feet red, with black claws. In the female 

 the throat is of a pale rufous. 



The following are the dimensions of the examples of this Jacamar in my own collection and 

 that of Messrs. Salvin and Godman : —
