I. List of the principal Authorities upon the Ornithology of the 

 Argentine Republic referred to in the present Work. 



AZARA, DON FELIX DE. 



Apuntamientos para la historia natural de los paxaros del Paraguay y Rio de 

 la Plata. 3 vols. Madrid, 1802. 



Although this celebrated work relates mainly to the neighbouring 

 State of Paraguay, so many birds are common to Paraguay and La 

 Plata that it has of course a most important bearing on the Ornithology 

 of the latter country. Azara, unfortunately, gave only Spanish names 

 to his birds, so that the Latin titles of them are mostly those of Vieillot, 

 who translated Azara's remarks and gave scientific names to his birds in 

 different volumes of the 'Nouveau Dictionnaire d'Histoire Naturelle ' 

 (Paris, 1816-19). A most useful Index to Azara's ' Apuntamientos ' 

 was published in 1847 by Dr. G. Hartlaub of Bremen*. A more 

 modern resume of the Birds of Paraguay, in which much information is 

 contained, has been recently written by Hans, Graf v. Berlepsch f. 



BARROWS, WALTER B. 



Birds of the Lower "Uruguay. Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, 

 vol. viii. pp. 82, 128, 198; and The Auk, 1884, pp. 20, 109, 270, 

 and 313. 



This excellent observer was resident at Concepcion del Uruguay in 

 1879 and 1880, and afterwards made an excursion from Buenos Ayres 

 southwards to the Sierra de la Ventana. His notes, many of which are 

 incorporated in the present work, relate to about 200 species. 



BURMEISTER, Dr. HERMANN. 



(1) Eeise durch die La Plata-Staaten, mit besonderer Riicksicht auf die phy- 

 sische Beschaffenheit und den Culturzustand der Argentinischen Republik. 

 Ausgefuhrt in den Jahren 1857, 1858, 1859, und 1860. 2 vols. Halle, 

 1861. 



In a work on Argentine Ornithology it is hardly necessary to explain
