The appendix to Senor Carlos Burmeister' s report on his 

 expedition to Patagonia, undertaken during the summer of 

 1888-89, contains a systematic list of the birds collected on 

 this occasion, with some notes on their localities and habits. 

 The species recorded are 50 in number, mostly well-known 

 inhabitants of Antarctic America. A single example of 

 Milvago albogularis, Gould, originally discovered in the same 

 district by Darwin during the voyage of the ' Beagle/ was 

 obtained. Some notes by Senor Fauvety on the habits of 

 the Penguins met with on the coast are appended.
