following characters : — the wings are grey, wanting the 

 broad white band so cons})icuous in T. caudatus ; besides, 

 the large rusty-fulvous patch in the middle of the lower part 

 of the fore neck is wanting : the breast is not slaty black 

 as in T. caudatus, but fulvous white like the neck, and 

 between this and the breast there is a grey transverse band, 

 more or less broad; finally the hidden bases of the second- 

 aries are not white. 



I have examined only three specimens of this species, 

 all in the Turin Museum. One, from an unknown locality, 

 and apparently the oldest of the three, has the upper 

 parts grey, almost uniform, and the grey pectoral band 

 not very distinct, being formed by grey feathers, tipped 

 with fulvous-white, so that the band seems almost obsolete. 

 Reiclienbach has figured a similar bird, apparently with no 

 pectoral band at all [op. cit. fig. 582). Besides, the above- 

 mentioned bird is remarkable for having the feathered line 

 along the middle of the throat confined to the upper part, 

 while lower down the throat is entirely naked, even in the 

 middle. 



The other two specimens examined by me are both from 

 Chile, one sent by the Piedmontese consul Cav. Picollet, and 

 the other (a male) obtained from the Museum of Santiago 

 during the voyage of the 'Magenta.^ They are nearly 

 similar, and differ from the preceding one in having the 

 band along the middle of the throat entirely feathered, 

 the feathers of the upper parts with a dark subapical 

 spot quite distinct, the grey pectoral band broader, and 

 the greater wing-coverts somewhat whitish. I think that 

 both these birds are immature. 



The area of this species has been clearly described by 

 Berlepsch and Stolzmann. It extends from Magellania to 

 Chile and the western part of Peru as far north as lea 

 and Chorillos. On the east it inhabits Patagonia, whence 

 during winter it migrates into the southern part of Argen- 

 tina, apparently as far north as the Province of Buenos 

 Ay res {Hudson).
