第一眼

竖划三寸,当千仞之高;横墨数尺,体百里之迥。

—— 南朝宋·宗炳《画山水序》

三寸的竖线可当千仞高山,几尺横墨能容百里之远。尺幅从来不是障碍,取舍才是本事。这一幅略高于宽,落点在中央偏上那只鸟的头部。第二步凑近一寸:看线与色的交界,色有没有压住线,线有没有断。第三步,把视线放到最深的那一小块:整幅的用色秩序,都是从那里排开的。

原书文字(英文 / 法文)

The very dark shade of the green under-surface, coupled with the metallic green forehead, which is darker than in D. ludoviciæ, serves to render this species recognizable from the last-named bird.

It was described by Mr. Osbert Salvin from Veraguan skins collected by Enrique Arcé; and I have a skin in my collection said to be from Costa Rica; but there may be some doubt as to the correctness of this locality.

Mr. Salvin published the followwing remarks when first calling attention to the distinctness of the Veraguan bird:—

There seems to be considerable individual variation between members of this species; or I should be inclined to separate, as a distinct race, the bird found in Veragua, a single specimen only of which has as yet reached me. ‘The shining forehead is considerably darker and of a bluer shade, the bill longer, and the under plumage blacker than in a New Granadian specimen of D. ludoviciæ before me; the wings, too, are shorter. Should the receipt of additional specimens confirm the constancy of these distinctions, I propose for this race the name of Dorifera veraguensis.

The Plate represents two males and a female bird, drawn from specimens lent to me by Messrs. Salvin and Godman.
