 Broad-shafted Humming-Bird. Lath, syn. 



This, which is one of the larger Humming- 

 Birds, is distinguished bj a very remarkable cir- 

 cumstance ; viz. the structure of the chief quill- 

 feathers, which have their shafts considerably 

 widened in the middle, as well as curved or bent 

 outwards : the length of the bird is about five 

 inches, and its colour slightly-gilded green above, 

 and pale ash beneath: the wings violet- black, and 

 the tail of similar colour, tipped with white ; the 

 two middle feathers gold-green. Native of Cay- 

 enne, and considered as a very rare species.
