in the Straits of Magellan by Dr. Cuuiiinghani. 187 



7. Upucerthia dumetoria, GeofFr. & d'Orb. 

 Possession Bay, January. A short-billed specimen, such as is 



spoken of by Mr. Darwin (Zool. ' Beagle,' iii. p. 66) as occurring 

 in Patagonia. 



8. OxYURUs spiNiCAUDA (Gm.). O. tupinieri, Less.; Cun- 

 ningham, antea, p. 125. 



Sandy Point, February. 



9. SCYTALOPUS MAGELLANICUS (Lath.). S. fusCUS, Gould. 



Sandy Point, May. 



10. Myiotheretes rufiventris (Vieill.). 

 Possession Bay, January. 



11. TiENIOPTERA PYROPE, Kittl. 



One skin, from Port Famine, resembling Chilian specimens, but 

 with the first two primaries not excised, — perhaps a female of 

 this species. 



12. MusciSAXicoLA MENTALis (Lafr. & d'Orb.). 

 Sandy Point, April. 



13. Centrites NIGER (Bodd.). 

 Sandy Point. 



14. Ceryle stellata, Meyer. 



Port Galant, March. We are not yet quite convinced as to 

 the propriety of uniting this western and southern form with C. 

 torquata. We have seen young specimens of C. torquata spotted 

 as much as the present bird ; but, on the other hand, C. stellata 

 seems to be always smaller in size, particularly as regards the 

 bill, and never to attain the unspotted dress of the adult C. 

 torquata : at least we have not yet met with unspotted speci- 

 mens of C. stellata. 



15. Campephilus MAGELLANICUS (King) ; Cunningham, 

 antea, p. 126. 



Sandy Point, December. 



16. CONURUS CYANOLYSEUS (Mol.) 



Sandy Point, March. 



17. MiLVAGO CHIxMANGO (Vieill.). 

 Sandy Point, December.
