green, but paler or greyer beneath : wings purplish- 
brown ; tail of the same, but the outsides of the fea- 
thers golden-green, appearing of that colour when 
closed ; each of the two outside feathers tipped with 
white.” 
The modem plates agree with this description, 
except that there is no trace of the black line be- 
neath the blue of the head. But Temminck says 
that the females only are distinguished by this mark. 
The tail is very strongly wedge-shaped, instead of 
the form assumed by the three we have just now 
described. This species is a native of the Antilles 
—the island of Trinitc.
