In the afternoon Cabell went out with his gun, and later Aliceand I went out a short ways to meet himon his return. He had been to some flow-ering trees near a coffee plantation alongthe road, and brought back eleven hum-ming-birds of eight different species. Theywere, first, a pair of the large black-throats (Lampomis nigricollis). Sec-ond, a pair, male and female, but slightlysmaller; the male green above and below,with broad, black tail-feathers and con-spicuous white plume-like under tail-co-verts ; the female was similar, but hadmore gray in the green below {Hypurop-tila buffoni). Third, a pair, golden bronzeabove with a greenish tinge, the centraltail-feathers the same; the others chestnut, with purplish bronzeand white tips, below gray, with a darker patch on the throat.
