It will be thus seen that Dr. Cunningham^s present collection 

 consists of thirty-three specimens, referable to thirty-one species. 

 As regards the land-birds occurring in it (Nos. 1 to 11), they 

 are all well-known Chilian species, thus confirming the views 

 we have already put forward on the general character of the 

 Patagonian avifauna. The same is the general case with the 

 rest of the series, although these are mostly species of much 

 wider distribution. 



We subjoin some remarks upon two of the species included 

 in the list of Patagonian Passeres given in our former paper on 

 this subject ('Ibis,' 1868, pp. 183-189).
