The fmalleft humming-bird is about the fize of an hazel-nut. The feathers on its wings and tail are black ; but thofe on its body, and under its wings, are of a greenifh brown, with a fine red caft or glofs, which no filk or velvet can imitate. It has a fmall creft on its head, green at the bottom, and as it were gild- ed at the top; and which fparkles in the fun like a little ftar in the middle of its forehead. The bill is black, ftraight, flender, and of the length of a fmall pin. The larger ...humming-bird is near half as big as the common wren, and without a creft on its head ; but, to make amends, it is covered, from the throat half way down the belly, with changeable crimfon coloured fea- thers, that, in different lights, change to a variety of beautiful colours, much like an opal. The heads of both are fmall, with very little round eyes as black as jet. It is inconceivable how much thefe add to the high finimmg and beauty of a rich luxuriant weftern landfcape. As foon as the fun is rifen, the humming-birds, of different kinds, are feen flut- tering about the flowers, without ever lighting upon them.
