6 Mr. C. Chubb : Notes on [Ibis, 



Paraguay and the Rio Parana district are darker green, less 

 buff on the under surface, and larger in measurements than 

 those from Prov. of Buenos Aires. 



Male. " Bill black above, orange-red below ; feet and 

 legs pinkish horn-colour; iris brown ^^ (^W. Foster). Total 

 length 213 ram., exposed culmen 18, wing 91, tail 92, 

 tarsus 34, middle toe with claw 28, hind toe with claw 22. 

 Female. Wing 89 mm. 



There is also a diflference between the young from the two 

 localities cited above — a young female, collected by W.Foster 

 at Sapucay, Paraguay, in November, compared with the one 

 described under E. p. platensis, which is about the same age, 

 is not so heavily marked with black on the breast ; under 

 surface, for the most part, yellow with scarcely any buff. 

 The edgings to the feathers on the upper surface are for 

 the greater part fawn-colour like the rump and upper tail- 

 coverts. 



I have, therefore, decided to regard this form as distinct 

 under the above title. 



Habitat. Paraguay, Rio Parana, and north-eastern Argen- 

 tina.

 Museum since 1858. They belong to the Argentine group 

 with broad stripes on the back and are said to have come 

 from Chile, but as there has been no record of any others 

 having been obtained since that date, it would appear that 

 there may have been some mistake in the locality.

Adult. This bird very closely resembles E. longicauda on 

 the upper surface, with the dark shaft-lines to the feathers 

 rather more pronounced. It differs, however, in the absence 

 of the fawn-coloured circle of feathers round the eye and
