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)

In his arrangement of the genus Uranomitra, Mr. Elliot places this species in his first section of the genus along with U. quadricolor and U. violiceps, all three species having the underparts white.

The first-named has the tail olive-green, the second has it bronzy red, whereas in U. viridifrons the tail is described as metallic golden with the tip bronzy red; and the species further differs in the green colour of the head.

The type specimen is in Mr. Elliot’s collection and came from Putla in Mexico. He describes it as follows:—

Forehead dark green, metallic in some lights, centre of crown dark grey; upper part of body brilliant light green; lower part of back bronzy brown; wings purple; upper tail-coverts and tail rich coppery bronze; flanks grass-green; entire underparts pure white; bill reddish, black at tips. Total length 334 inches, wing 218, tail 138, culmen 58.

The Plate represents the male in two positions, and was drawn from the type specimen, which Mr. Elliot kindly lent us when he was in England.

[R. B. S.]
