DELALANDE’S HUMMING-BIRD. 
Trochilus Delalandii Vieillot. 
PLATE VII— Female. 
Le Plumet bleu ; Ornismya Delalandii, Lesson, Hisioire 
Naturelle des Oiseaux-mouches, pi. xxiv. 
We did not think the illustration of this beauti- 
ful little group complete without a representation of 
a Female. The whole upper parts are of the gol- 
den-green exhibited by the male ; but we lose every 
trace of tbe splendid crest which adorns his crown. 
The white spot behind the eye and the deep blue 
upon the tail remains. The under parts are of a 
rich smoke-grey, of a chaste and pleasing tint. 
The Male was represented in our first Volume, 
Plate X.
