The Giant Ifun,ming Bird.

TIE giant hummiug- Of Chilli is
the largest of Its family, and besides
its size differs from all the rest in some
very noteworthy respects. Mr.. Gould
describes it as bold and vigorous
flyer, quick in all lis actions, passing
from slower to flower with the greatest
rapidity. Unlike other species of its
family, it may be frequently seen
perched on some small tree or shrub.
1t has very extensive distribution over
al the more southern portions of
South America. M. Wayszewic col
lected specimens in Bolivia at height
of nearly fourteen thousand feet. The
nest is somewhat large, cup-shaped
structure, composed of MOSES. lichens
and similar materials put together with
cobwebs and placed in the fork of
low branch of tree, generally one that
overhangs turbulent stream. Charles
Darwin, in his narrative journal of the
voyage of the Beagle" refers to this
species as a resident of central Chill
during the breeding season, and his &C
count of it differs, in some respects,
from those of other writer's, especially
that relating to the absence of the rapid
vibrations OF she wings, generally sup
posed to be a peculiarly of all hum
ming birds, without exception. He
states that this species, when on the
wing, presents q very singular appear
ancc. Like others of the family it
moves from place to place with Il rapid
ity which may be compared to that of
surplus among flies. and the sphinx
among moths; but, while lowering overa
dover, il flaps its wings with a very slow
and powerful movement, totally differ
ent from that yibratory motion common
to the most of the species and which pro-
duces the kumming noise. Mr.. Darwin
had never seen any other bird the force of
whose wings appeared las in a butter
fly so powerful in proportion to the
weight of its body. When lowering
by Il flower, lis tail was constantly be-
ing expanded and shut like fan, the
body being Kept in nearly q vertical
position. This action appeared to
steady and support the bird between
the slow movements of its wings. AL
though it flew from flower to flower in
search of food, its stomach contained
abundant remains of insects which Mr..
Darwin believed to be much more the
objects of its search than honey. Its
note, like that OF nearly the whole fam
lily, was extremely shriil.-lScri5aer
