Humming-Birds

Genus Myrtis Reichenb.

The bird which I have figured under the name of Calothorax Fanny is the type of the genus Myrtis, which I adopt for that beautiful bird and the C. Yarrelli, as I consider them to be a very distinct form, and one which is especially remarkable for the structure of the tail.
