* Tbe coloration of Buffon's " Fournier de Buenos Ayres " resembles 

 more tbat of F.fgiilus than that of F. hadius ; tbe crown of the bead seems 

 to be not darker than tbe back; a superciliary stripe occurring in both 

 species is not visible in Buffon's figure; the dimensions, bov^-ever, and 

 the habitat would agree with F. hadius. Under these circumstances 

 I must accede to Professor Reichenbach's use of the name "baditts, 

 published in 1823," which belongs undoubtedly to the present species. 



t It is difficult to say with certainty whether Azara's bird is F. hadius 

 or F. fgulus : tbat he mentions white colour on the breast and abdomen
