Text Appearing Before Image:
ce is of a deepchestnut-red, which is rather narrowed at the neck by the advancement of the purple colourabove mentioned. The tail is generally of a chestnut-red; but the two middle tail-feathers aregreen like the back above, and dull green below; the others are all broadly margined with thesame brilliant green externally. The diminutive outer pair of rectrices are about 12 inch inlength from the insertion; they are rufous, with a slight greenish blotch at the tip. The bill andnaked lores are yellow, with the apical half of the upper mandible blackish. The feet are yellow,and the claws black. On the whole this Jacamar is certainly most nearly allied to G. alhirostris, and has the samegeneral structure. Burmeister, in his Systematic Review of the Animals of Brazil, appears tohave mistaken it for that species, and to have described it under that name. The figure (Plate VIII.) is taken from the male specimen above described, which is the onlyone in my collection. Sclater, Jac IPuffbPLIX.
