Chapter III. 



Composition, distribution and relationships of the Fauna. 



There are no indigenous reptiles, amphibians, iVeshwater fishes or mammals 

 on the islands; of the introduced mammals, goats, rats and mice were naturalized 

 centuries ago and during the last 20 years also rabbits and Aasua rufa. 



Aves. 



LONNBERG {174); names in brackets used by Goodall-Johnson-Philippi {ijo). 



Indigenous land-birds. 



Tnrdus iiiagellanicus King (T. falklandii magellanicus). Both islands. North 

 Chile to Patagonia and Fuegia; according to 57. V. 224 not known to be migratory. 

 "More richly coloured with buff below than specimens from the mainland avail- 

 able to me", LoNNBERG wrote I.e. 3, a colouring characteristic of T.falldajidi- 

 cus (Ouoy et Gain), comp. 5/. V. pi. XIII. In no this is called T . f. falklandii ?LX\di 

 the island form is referred to magellanicus. 



Anaeretes fernandezianus (Phil.) (Spizitornis f.). Endemic on Masatierra. Anae- 

 retes is a neotropical genus of 7 species (Ecuador to N. Argentina and Chile). 

 A. fernandezianus is related to a Chilean species. 



Aphrastuva uiasafiierae Phil, et Landb. Endemic on Masafuera. A second 

 species ranges from Centr. Chile to Patagonia and Fuegia. 



Ci)iclodes oustaleti Scott ssp. haeckstroejnii Lonnb. Both islands, endemic but 

 very near the typical species (Antofagasta-Chiloe). A genus of 13 species (Ecuad. 

 to Argent., Patag., P'alkl. Is.). 



Eustephanus fernandensis (King as Trochilus) Gould (Thaumaste f.). Pandemic, 

 forming an endemic genus according to no. 300: "Coloracion totalmente diferente 

 de la de cualquier Picaflor que habita el continente." These authors leave open 

 the question whether or not E. leyboldi Gould of Masafuera is distinct but list it 

 as Th. f. leyboldi and the form from Masatierra as Th. f.fernaiulensis. LoNNBERG 

 p. 7 gave good reasons for considering them as identical. The humming-bird 

 seems to be extinct on Masafuera. 



Eiistephanus galeritus Mol. (as Trochilus; Orthorhyncha sephanoides Lesson 

 et Garnot 1827 — but Molina's name must be about 50 years older; Sephanoides 

 s., no). Masatierra and on the mainland from Centr. Chile to Fuegia. Said to 

 migrate to the coast and spend the winter there (/7^), a statement not quoted 

 by GOODALL.
