To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


About the roots of the trees at this place, we found a .beau- tiful variety of shell, the Bulimus papyracea, in considerable numbers, and here also we obtained a richly plumaged Jacamar, tl^e Galbula viridis. This species we afterwards frequently encountered both in the forest and about plantations. There was one other species common at Par^, but less beautiful, the G. paradisea. These birds resembled the humming birds so much in shape, that the people of the country, universally call them " be
...ijar flor grande," or the great kiss-flower. Their lustrous plumage assists the deception. They live upon insects, which they are very expert at catching, with their long, slen- der bills.
During the morning, we tested the capabilities of our new montaria, and starting in advance of the galliota, found fine sporting, principally among the paroquets and herons. The former family of birds had not been very plentiful since leaving Gurupd, near which place they had collected in vast flocks, from a large extent of country, for the breeding season.
