第一眼

江馆清秋,晨起看竹,烟光日影露气,皆浮动于疏枝密叶之间。

—— 清·郑板桥《题画竹》

郑板桥说他画竹,是先看见“烟光日影露气”在枝叶间浮动,才动手。看画时找这一层空气,比记住花的名字更要紧。这一幅是竖的:眼睛从下往上走,落点在中段那只鸟身上。先别急着看羽毛,让姿态先立起来。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 present species was also one of Mr. Whitely’s discoveries in British Guiana.

He met with it both on the Merumé Mountains and near Roraima at a height of 3500 feet. Messrs. Salvin and Godman state that it is “allied to H. jamesoni from Ecuador, but is smaller, with a less forked tail, and is also distinguished by its orange-coloured mandible.” They observe (l. c.), “Mr. Whitely sends us a male and several females of this species, which is obviously allied to the Ecuadorian H. jamesoni, but at the same time quite specifically distinct. This is the first evidence we have received of the fact of a member of this Andean genus being found in Guiana.”

Mr. Whitely has sent us the following account of his capture of the species on the Merumé Mountains:—

This beautiful bird was obtained in the same locality as Lophornis pavoninus, but, unlike that species, it is of more retiring habits, frequenting the gloomy recesses of the forest, where it suddenly startles one by its rapid flights, and then coming to a stop, throwing the body up vertically within a few yards of one’s face, making a very loud humming with its wings. It then darts off out of sight like a flash, rendering it a most difficult bird to shoot. Only one male was obtained here, and several females; but I was fortunate enough to get two males on my second expedition to Roraima, at an elevation of 5000 feet. Stomach contained remains of insects.

The Plate represents two males and a female, the figures being drawn from specimens lent to us by Messrs. Salvin and Godman.
