the execution of those in vol. iii. is superior to that of the 

 two preceding volumes, and that they are generally suffi- 

 ciently accurate for all practical purposes. Most of the 

 species enumerated are well known to us, except Psev- 

 dototanus haughtoni (p. 403), of which four specimens are 

 in the Museum of Trinity College, Dublin. 



69. Landbeck on Geositta antarctica. 



[Geositta antarctica. Von Landbeck, in Santiago de Chile. Wiegm. 

 Arch. Jahrg. 46, i. p. 275. j 



Herr Landbeck describes and figures a supposed new species 

 of Geositta from Tierra del Fuego as G. antarctica. The bird 

 appears to us to be rather like G. peruviana, Lafr., of Western 

 Peru; but this species is hardly likely to occur in Patagonia.
