Spotted-breasted Humming-bird (Aphantochroa hyposticta), John Gould Some years ago I received specimens of the present bird from Quito, but I have recently considered that they were collected near the waters of the Upper Napo. 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."
