LONGUEMAEE’S HUMIONG-BIRD. 
TrocMlus Longuemareus. — Lesson. 
Le Colibri Longucmare, Lesson, Trochilidees, pis. ii. & Ixii. 
This species, says Lesson, has always been con- 
founded with the next, but from which every cha- 
racter distinguishes it. We give this naturalist’s de- 
scription, having no specimen of the bird. 
It is about three inches eight lines in length ; on 
the crown there is as it were a cowl of deep brown, 
tinged with red ; the back and sides of the neck are 
of a brownish red, which is the prevailing colour of the 
whole upper parts, having upon the back metallic re- 
flections of a green lustre ; all the under parts are of 
a reddish yellow, deepest on the throat and breast ; 
the lower tail-coverts are white. There is not so 
much variation in the length of the centre feathers 
of this species as in many, and it has more the ap- 
pearance of a graduated or wedge-shaped tail. The 
exceeding tips of the centre feathers are, however, 
white, the other parts of them and the rest of the 
tail brown. This species is a native of Cayenne.
