1869.] MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. 151 
2. On Peruvian Birds collected by Mr. Whitely. By P. L. 
Scrarer, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., and Osserr SALvIn, 
M.A., F.L.S.—Part IV.* 
(Plate XIIL.) 
The present collection of Mr. Whitely contains 131 specimens of 
birds, obtained in May, June, July, and August last, at Tinta on the 
Vilcamayo, south-east of Cuzco, and at Tungasuca and Pitumarea, 
two villages in the immediate vicinity of Tinta. Tinta is about 
11,000 feet above the sea-level, and therefore belongs to the upper 
part of Tschudi’s Eastern Sierra regiont. Tungasuca and Pitumarea 
are both higher on the hills, the former on the right bank, and the 
latter on the left bank of the Vileamayo, and may probably come 
into Tschudi’s Puna region (11,000-14,000 feet). 
The total number of species contained in the collection is forty-six, 
of which four appear to be undescribed, namely Saltator laticlavius, 
Poospiza cesar, Agriornis insolens, and Centrites oreas. The others 
are mostly known to us from the researches of D’Orbigny in Bolivia, 
and Tschudi in higher Peru. 
We have added some field-notes, taken from Mr. Whitely’s MS. 
catalogue.

“Shot in a garden. Its habits closely resemble those of a Blue 
Tit (Parus); it frequently clings beneath the branches of trees.”
