144 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN [Feb. 13, 



68. J5gialitis falklandica (Lath.). 



One specimen of this bird, which is not mentioned by Burmeister. 



69. Vanellus cayennensis (Gm.) ; Burm. I. c. p. 502. 



70. Eijdromias modesta (Licht.). 

 Vanellus 7nodestus,'&\xrm. I.e. p. 502. 



Four skins of this Plover in winter dress, and one in process of 

 change to summer plumage. " Chorlito di inverno : a winter visitor." 

 — W, H. H. 



71. Himantopus nigricollts (Vieill.) ; Burm. I. c. p. 503. 

 "Eye red: resident." — W. H. H. 



72. Gambetta melanoleuca (Gm.) ; Burm. /. c. p. 503. 

 " Summer visitor. Becassina." — W. H. H. 



73. Gambetta flavipes (Gm.) ; Burm. /. c. p. 503. 

 " Summer visitor."— W. H. H. 



74. Tringa bonapartii, Schlegel; Baird, Rev. A. B. p. 472. 



"Winter visitor." — W. H. H. Four skins of this species, which 

 seems to be the " Ckorlito pestorejo pardo " of Azara. If this be so, 

 the prior names Trinffa/uscicollis (Yieill.) and T. cann^estris (Licht.) 

 will be applicable to it. Burmeister does not mention it in his ' La- 

 Plata-Reise ;' but it may be the Tringa campestris of his ' Syst. Ueb.' 

 iii. p. 74. 



75. Tringa bairdi. 



Actodromas bairdi, Coues, Pr. Ac. Phil. 1851, p. 194. 



One skin of this species, which appears to be the " Chorlito lonio 

 negro" of Azara; if so, Mr. Coues's name will have to give way to 

 Tringa melatiota, Vieill. {Tringa doisalis, Meyen). 



7G. Gallinago paragui^e (Vieill.) ; Schlegel, Mus. des P.-B. 

 Scolopaces, p. 11. 



Scolopax frenata, Burm. I. c. p. 503. 



Schlegel makes this species different from his Gallinago frenata. 

 But we may point out that Scolopax jxiruguice, Vieillot, and S. fre- 

 nata, Lichtenstein, are both based upon Azara's " Becasina prima" 

 (No. 387) ; so that these names cannot be used for different species. 



The only two Snipes we have yet met with from La Plata, Pata- 

 gonia, and Chili are the present species and G. stricklandi. 



77. Rhynch^a semicollaris (Vieill.). 



Rh. hilarii, Burm. I. c. p. 504 ; Azara, no. 405. 

 One specimen. 



78. Aramides ypecaha (Vieill.). 

 Rallus ypecaha, Vieill. (ex Azara).
