Spotted-necked Humming-Bird. Lath, sijn. 



The length of this species, which, perhaps, was 

 first described and figured by Edwards, is some- 

 thing more than four inches : the head and under 

 parts of the neck are deep glossy blue : the upper 

 part of the neck green- gold, crossed by a mode- 

 rately broad milk-white bar, reaching rather more 

 than half way towards the fore-parts : the back, 

 wing-coverts, and rump are green gold : the quill- 

 feathers violet-black, and the tail white, slightly 

 tipped with black: the two middle tail-feathers, 

 which are shorter than the rest, are of the colour of 

 the back: the tail is also slightly divided or forked 

 at the end. Native of South-America, and par- 

 ticularly of Cayenne, where it is not uncommon.
