Description
Excerpt from Ensayo Ornitologico de los Troquilideos ó Colibries de Mexico, Vol. 1
A lo que parece, las plumas brillantes y de apariencia escamosa de los colibrÃes estan formadas por innumerables barbillas bipenadas, con sus ramificaciones de forma cilÃndrica y rÃgidas, teniendo en el centro unas canalitas profundas que descomponen la luz segun su incidencia, produciendo multiplicados colores; mas es de advertir, que segun el Se ñor Lesson, influyen más particularmente en este fenómeno, los ele mentos de la sangre elaborados por la circulacion; pero es dificil com prender la manera con que este lÃquido pueda obrar para producir tan admirables y variados colores.
