hv G. R. Gray in his ' Ilaiul-list/ by Sclater and Hudson in 

 tlicir ' Argentine Ornithology/ and also by Onstalet (/. c), 

 rests on the erroneous statement in the 'Voyage of the 

 Beagle ' tiiat H. phcenicura was found also on the eastern side 

 of the Cordilleras, between Santiago and Mendoza. 



Henicornis striata. 



Enicornis striata Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. N. H. ii. p. 89 



(1889) (Valparaiso, Chile); Sclat. Cat. B. xv. p. 20, note 

 (1890). 



Henicornis s/ria^a Sharpe, Hand-list, iii. p. 50. n. 2 (1901)

" Differs from E. pha>mcurus in its generally much lighter 

 colors, in the small amount of black in the tail, and in the 

 broad white streaking of the whole lower plumaye. The single 

 specimen has the appearance of being fully adult. Length 

 173 mm., wing 85 mm., tail 71 mm., bill (exposed culraen) 

 24*5 mm., tarsus 21 mm." {Allen.) 



I am not acquainted with this bird.

It appears that this form has been separated on very 

 slight grounds, as Mr. Hellmayr, who has examined three 

 adult birds in the Tring Museum, writes to me that they do 

 not bear out all the characters put forward by Mr. Scott. 

 They are neither larger, nor have the bill longer than in 

 H. phcenicura, from which they merely difter in having the 

 two middle i-ectrices wholly brown or with but a small 

 ferruginous patch at the base of the inner web, while in the 

 types of H. phcenicura in the British Museum the whole 

 basal portion of both webs is ferruginous.
