  Mr. 
  Reed 
  considers 
  that 
  Chrysomitris 
  uropygialis 
  and 
  

   Pseudochloris 
  aureiventris 
  should 
  be 
  classed 
  as 
  " 
  summer 
  

   visitants," 
  and 
  not 
  as 
  " 
  residents," 
  unless 
  it 
  be 
  in 
  Tarapaca, 
  

   and 
  doubts 
  the 
  occurrence 
  of 
  Molothrus 
  bonariensis 
  in 
  Chili. 
  

   Elainea 
  albiceps 
  is 
  probably 
  a 
  '' 
  resident." 
  

  

  Eustephanus 
  galeritus 
  is, 
  according 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Reed, 
  a 
  

   '' 
  regular 
  summer 
  visitor."

  A

  a

  in 
  a

   in 
  Santiago 
  a

  years

  and

  saw 
  plenty 
  in 
  the 
  south 
  all 
  

   last 
  autumn.'^ 
  Oreotrochilus 
  leucopleurus 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  ^^ 
  summer 
  

   visitor, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  Atacaraa, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  resident 
  in 
  Tarapaca." 
  

  

  The 
  Maguari 
  Stork 
  [Euxenura 
  maguari) 
  is 
  "certainly 
  a 
  

   resident, 
  but 
  not 
  common." 
  

  

  ''A 
  species 
  of 
  Dendrocygna 
  is 
  an 
  occasional 
  visitant." 
  

  

  " 
  Oreophilus 
  ruficollis

  {supra,

  after 
  leaving 
  that

  continued 
  his 
  explorations 
  

   in 
  Oahu, 
  the 
  island 
  on 
  which 
  Honolulu, 
  the

   but, 
  unfortunately, 
  without

  of 
  Hemignathus, 
  H. 
  lichtensteini 
  and

  his

  of 
  Molokai,

  he 
  has

  matter 
  of 
  the 
  greatest 
  

   difl&culty, 
  he 
  had
