BOURCIER’S HTJJMMING-BIRD. 
TrocMlus Bourcierii. — Lesson. 
This bird in general appearance also resembles 
the first we described, but is considerably less. The 
tail is very ample, and the centre feathers of con- < 
siderable proportional length. The colour of the 
upper side is a greenish black, deeper towards the 
tip, where the outer web is marked with a chestnut 
spot ; the long feathers are brown where they exceed 
tlie length of the tail, the tips while ; underneath, the 
whole has a brownish tint. The crown is of a red- 
dish green, which is the prevailing tint over the up- 
per parts, from each feather being fringed with red- 
dish brown, somewhat in the manner of the Scaly- 
backed Species. The throat is white, the whole of 
the other under parts of a reddish grey, most vivid 
upon the sides of the neck ; a slight tracing of the 
superciliary streak and that from the rictus is seen, 
but it is only visible when the position of the bird is 
varied. It is a native of Brazil, and Lesson thinks 
that it inhabits the mountainous districts of that vast 
country.
