On reference to my account of P. Guyi, it will be seen that I questioned whether the Trochilus Emilie of M.
Bourcier was not identical with that species ; but having since seen a great number of examples of the latter from
Bogota, and of the former from Trinidad, I find that each possesses certain characters by which an experienced
ornithologist would be able at once to say whence specimens of either had been received. The Andean bird, when
fully adult, is rather larger in size, is much darker in general appearance, has the chin-stripes less conspicuous,
the apical two-thirds of the tail-feathers blacker, and their basal third and the upper tail-coverts bluish green
instead of pure green. The differences in the two birds are, in fact, precisely analogous to those which occur be-

tween the Glaucis hirsuta and G. affinis.

As the last three species advance in age their tails become shorter, their feathers broader, and the white

fringing of the lateral ones almost obsolete.
