to carry firearms. Under these circumstances Mr. Lane 

 thought it prudent to leave the country and return to 

 Europe. 



V. Mr. Lane's Field-Notes. 



I now give a selection from Mr. Lane's field-notes made 

 during these expeditions. The nomenclature and arrange- 

 ment of James's 'New List of Chilian Birds' are followed, 

 and references to the volumes of the Catalogue of Birds in 

 the British Museum (B. M. C.) are added. The localities 

 under each name in brackets are taken from Mr. Lane's 

 specimens now in the British Museum. 



1. Tachycineta meyeni (Bp.). 



Tachycineta jneijeni, Sharpe, B. M. C. x. p. 116; James, 

 N. L. p. 2; Sharpe & Wyatt, Mon. Swallows, i. p. 153, 

 pi. 23. 



(Corral and Maquegua.) 



Common throughout Chili, and known as the " Golon- 

 drina." I believe it is found in Valdivia and Chiloe only in 

 the warm season. I observed it in June at Coronel, but on

 became plentiful there at the end of August. 



' 2- Atticora cyanoleuca (VieilL). 



Atticora cyanoleuca, Sharpe, B. M. C. x. p. 186 ; James, 

 N. L. p. 2; Sharpe & Wyatt, Mon. Swall. ii. p. 505, pi. 99. 



(Sacaya.) 



Birds of this species appeared to be generally distributed on 

 the east side of Tarapaca. They were common at Huasco, and 

 1 fancy those I saw at Pica were the same. They breed at 

 Sacaya about November or December, making their nests in 

 holes or crevices in cliffs.

 Conirostrum cinereum, Sclater, B. M. C. xi. p, 15 ; id.

 I collected the specimens sent of this species at Pica, iu
