 bohm, who acquired it from J. E. Harting. 



Harting had "a considerable number of specimens of the Lapwing of 

 Chili," but the exact number cannot now be known. A specimen in the 

 British Museum, ex Seebohm Collection, is listed as the type (Catalogue of 

 the birds in the British Museum 24: 735, 1896), but its claim is no better 

 than that of the birds in the U.S. National Museum. Each of these speci- 

 mens bears Harting's private label, with a reference to the description of 

 occidentalis cited above.
