WHITE-STRIPED HUMMING-BIRD. 
tail is very ample and slightly forked ; it has a brown- 
ish green lustre, and the two outer feathers are mark- 
ed with a round white spot at the tips. 
The female has nearly the same plumage as the 
male, except on the throat ; the part occupied by the 
beautiful patch is a greyish-white, and the base of 
the feathers is marked with a darker tint ; from this 
the middle line of white, equally conspicuous as in 
the other sex, descends to the tail. 
In the young the tints are generally duller, and a 
few straggling crimson feathers are generally observ- 
able on the throats of the males. The species is a 
native of Brazil. 
Another bird, allied in form and colouring to this, 
and figured by Temminck, is the 
SCALY-THROATED HUMMING-BIRD.

we have described, and the markings are all so simi-
