of the Waterfuiol of South America. 487 



Mareca sibilatrix. 



I met uith the Cliiloe Wigeon twice in widely different 

 places. 



The first I saw were six specimens on a mountain-stream, 

 between San Igiiatio and Potrerillos, as I travelled from Men- 

 doza to Puentes del Inca in the Andes (about 33° S. L.)*. 



The second time I noticed this species was on a small pool 

 near Estancia Sarita, in north-western Tierra del Fuego. 

 There were four birds, and they were the only Ducks to 

 take wing on my approach. 



Spatula platalea. 



I met with the Red Shoveller in a small pool. beyond 

 Estancia Sarita of the Jente Grande estate in Tierra del 

 Fuego, and I believe this is the first time that this species 

 has been recorded from the island. 



Guerquedula versicolor. 



I saw specimens of this pretty Duck on two or three pools 

 near Estancia Sarita, in north-western Tierra del Fuego. 



Nettion flavirostre. 



I saw flocks of the Yellow-billed Teal on the Lake Todos 

 los Santos, in southern Chile, not far from the little Peulla 

 Settlement, and later on I found them in the pools near 

 Estancia Sarita, in north-western Tierra del Fuego. 



Dafila spinicauda. 



Flocks of the Brown Pintail were on the Lake Todos los 

 Santos, in southern Chile, not far from the place where I 

 saw the little Yellow-billed Teal. 



On Tierra del Fuego I saw a single specimen on the bank 

 of a small stream near Estancia Sarita, and some more in 

 the pools near that place. 



Merganetta armata. 



In the Argentine Republic I saw a male of the Spur- 

 winged Duck flying over the Mendoza River near Caleton. 



* These birds, duly recorded as belonging to this species in my original 

 notes, have been mentioned by error under the name of Anas specnlaris 

 in ' Notes from the Ley den Museum,' vol. xxxv. note 1.
