1869. | BIRDS FROM THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC. 633 
13. PHLEOCRYPTES sTRIATICEPS (Lafr. et D’Orb.); Burm. /. ec. 
p- 469. 
Five specimens of this species. 
14, Tanioprera pomrinicana (Vieill.); Burm. J. ¢. p. 460. 
Four skins of this species, all in female plumage, in which stage 
it is the Tenioptera albogrisea of Sclater’s Catalogue (Tyrannus 
albogriseus of Lesson). Herr. v. Pelzeln has described the female 
dress (Orn. Bras. p. 97); and in Sclater’s collection is one of Nat- 
terer’s marked specimens, which agrees with the present birds. The 
male is yt figured by Gould as Fluwvicola azare (Zool. Voy. Beagle, 
ibe Me ey 
15. FLUVICOLA ALBIVENTRIS (Spix); Sclater, Cat. A. B. p. 200. 
Suiriri dominico, Azara, Apunt. ii. p. 100. 
A single skin of this species is marked “ Summer bird, very rare 
in Buenos Ayres.” Burmeister does not mention it. 
16. EmprpaGra surrirt (Vieill.) ; Cab. et Hein. Mus. Hein. ii. 
p- 99. 
Tenioptera suiriri, Burm. l. c. p. 464. 
Llainea albescens, Burm. P. Z. 8. 1868, p. 634. 
Three examples of this rather peculiar form, the synonyms of 
which are given by Cabanis and Heine (J. s. c.) at full length. 
17. Coccyzus MELANOCORYPHUS (Vieill.) ; Sclater, Cat. A. B. 
p. 323; Cab. et Hein. Mus. Hein. iv. p. 77. 
C. seniculus, Burm. /. c. p. 444 ( partim). 
Many examples of this widely distributed species. 
18. Coccyzus cInEREUs (Vieill.); Cab. et Hein. Mus. Hein. iv. 
p-77; Sclater, P. Z.S. 1864, p. 120; Burm. P. Z. 8. 1868, p. 634. 
Many examples of this Cuckoo, which, as Burmeister remarks, 
differs from the typical Coccyzi in having a nearly square tail. Coe- 
cyzus pumilus, Strickland, from Trinidad, Venezuela, and New Gra- 
nada, is of the same form. 
19. LEPTOPTILA CHALCAUCHENIA, Salvadori, MS. 
Paloma parda tapadas roxas, Azara, Apunt. iii. p. 12. no. 320. 
Peristera jamaicensis, Hartl. Ind. Az. p. 20. 
Peristera frontalis, Burm. 1. c. p. 497. 
Several examples of this Pigeon, of which the only specimen that 
has previously occurred to us was received from Dr. Salvadori for 
examination with the above MS. name. 
It is nearest to L. drasiliensis, but larger in size, has a shorter 
bill, is rather whiter on the throat, and has the back of the neck 
almost entirely bronzy green, with but a very slight purplish tinge.
