1 The following additional forms of Buteo have been described from Chile by 
Philippi (Arch. fiir Naturg., 1899, pp. 167-70) viz. ; 
Buteo melanostethos, B. pecilo- 
gaster, B. macronychus, B. ater, B. pictus, B. albigula, B. [Asturina?] ethiops et 
elegans, but what the respective value of these forms is I have been unable to judge, 
although I believe some are based on immature plumages and untenable.
