Brown Violet-Ear (Petasophora Delphinæ), John Gould No member of the genus Petasophora, nor indeed of the whole family of Trochilidæ, enjoys a more extensive range than this well-marked species; for it inhabits alike Trinidad, the low countries of Cayenne and Demerara, the Caraccas, and the temperate regions of Columbia; M. Warszewicz has also sent it to me from the Andes of Quindios and from Peru, and it is occasionally found in collections from Santa Fé de Bogota. This illustration has been restored to its original vibrancy by enhancing colors and removing unwanted marks. A monograph of the Trochilidæ, or family of humming-birds was published between 1849 and 1887 by English ornithologist John Gould. This monumental work depicts and describes all the known species of hummingbirds at the time - comprising 418 lithographic plates and information on 537 species."
