This species, more sombre-looking than usual, is 
about four inches and a half in length. The whole 
plumage of the body is of an emerald-green, with- 
out much reflection, except upon the upper tail-co- 
Terts, and the tint is nearly of one shade on every part: 
the tail, which is of the same form with the two pre- 
ceding, is entirely of a steel-blue, having the outer 
edge of the last feathers relieved with a narrow 
fringe of white. The only specimen with which M. 
Lesson is acquainted came from Porto Rico.
