Jan 27/60/ Gould showed me humming-Bird = viz Chrysuronia oenone, which has wide range from Trinidad to Andes, with blue gorget in midst of range this is a very rare & local species C. Josephinæ, which differs only in having gorget green; but Gould has seen one single specimen of C. oenone, in which in middle of blue gorget there was patch of bright green — might be Hybrid, or analogous variation.— (ask whether this correct if used)
