Specific Character. 
Strait-Billed gold-green HUMMING-BIRD, 
with blue-crown, double black-and-white 
check-stripe, and crimson throat and breast. 
Of this most beautiful species, which appears to 
have been hitherto undescribed, nothing more is 
known than that, like most others of this genus, it 
is a native of the Southern parts of America. It is 
represented on the plate in its natural size.
