1923] Wetmore: New Subspecies of Birds from Patagonia 337 



Measurements. — ^dn millimeters) : Males (two specimens), \vinj2: 

 47.2-48.2, tail imperfect, culmen from base 8.4-9.0, tarsus 18.5-19.5. 



Type (sex not indicated), wing 49.7, tail 50.2, culmen from base 

 9.2, tarsus 18.4. 



Range. — Straits of Magellan (Punta Arenas and Mayne Harbor). 



Remarks. — The dull coloration of the dorsal surface distinguishes 

 this form from other described subspecies of Spizitornis parulus as 

 it is darker even than S. p. mquatorialis (Berlepsch and Tacza- 

 nowski [1884, p. 296]), from Ecuador and Peru. It agrees with 

 parulus and differs from patagonicus Hellmayr (1920, p. 51) from 

 Argentina in lack of well-marked wing bars. 



Two specimens of lippus from Punta Arenas, Chile, taken January 

 27, 1888, with tails imperfect through molt, are similar to the type 

 from Mayne Harbor. In the type specimen part of the crest is 

 missing. The three mentioned from the Straits of Magellan have been 

 compared with ten skins of typical parulus from Concon, Valparaiso, 

 and Concepcion Bay, Chile. 



It is supposed that S. p. lippus ranges through the humid region 

 of extreme southern Chile.
