1. SCVTALOPUS. 



339 



Nearlj' uniform pliirubeoua black ; wings and tail rather browner ; 

 feathers of vertex sometimes slightly edged with silvery grey ; bill 

 black; feet brown: whole length 4-5 inches, wing :2-l, tail 1-5. 

 Female similar, but browner, and with obsolete brownish cross bars 

 on the rump, flanks, and lower bellj'. Young. More brownish and 

 more or less distinctly barred on the back. 



Hah. Patagonia, Chili, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. 



It is quite possible that the birds with the crown edged with 

 silvery grey may belong to a different species {S. alblfrons). It is 

 certainly curious that none of the more northern birds show any 

 traces of this colour, which only occurs in certain specimens from 

 Chili. But other Chilian and Patagonian skins are quite undis- 

 tinguishable from the northern bird, and show no traces of white 

 on the head.
