332 MR. p. L. SCLATER ON CHILIAN BIRDS. [Mar. 28, 



Fam. ScoLOPACiD^. 



The South American Phalarope has heen regarded as specifically 

 distinct by some authors, and is the Lobipes antarcticus, Less., and 

 Stegmwpus tricolor, Vieill. (ex Azara). But Fraser (P. Z. S. 1843, 

 p. 118) and Pelzeln (Novara-Reise, Aves, p. 132) concur in iden- 

 tifying it with the northern bird, which Mr. Salvin has already traced 

 south as far as Guatemala. Schlegel also unites the two birds with- 

 out hesitation. 



Gallinago paraffuiee (Vieill.). 



Schlegel unites Scolopax magellanica. King, with this species, of 

 which he has Chilian specimens received from the Santiago Museum. 



Gallinago paludosa (Gm.). 



Schlegel unites Hartlaub's Scolopax spectabilis from Valdivia 

 (Naum. 1853, p. 216) with this species. 



Tringa bairdi, Coues. 



Mr. Salvin has received three skins of this bird from Herr Ley- 

 bold of Santiago. They are all of immature birds, but appear to 

 agree with other specimens from New Granada, Panama, Mexico, 

 and North America. This is probably the bird referred to by Cassin 

 as Tringa pectoralis, Gilliss's Exp. ii. p. 195. 



Tringa bonapartii, Schlegel. 



This is the species usually called Tringa or Schcenichis schinzii, 

 and so named in the British Museum 'Catalogue of Grallse, &c.,' 

 p. 105. Mr. Bridges obtained specimens of it in Chili; and there 

 are examples of it in the Leyden Museum, sent by Prof. Phihppi 

 from near Santiago (see Schlegel's Musee d. P.-B. Scolopaces, p. 42). 



Gambetta melanoleuca (Gm.). 



This widely diffused American species has already been recognized 

 as occurring in Chili (Cf. Gray, Cat. Gall., &c., p. 99, & Schlegel, 

 Mus. d. P.-B. Scolopaces, p. 69; Ilartlaub, Naum. 1853, p. 222). 

 A specimen of it, received by Mr. Salvin from Lcybold, is marked 

 Totanus chilensis, and is doubtless the species so described by Phi- 

 lippi (Wiegm. Arch. 1857, p. 264). 



Gambetta flavi'pes (Vieill.). 



Gay's Totanus stagnatilis may probably be intended for this 

 species, of which Salvm has a specimen received from Leybold of 

 Santiago ; and Dr. Segetho obtained examples in Chili during the 

 Novara Expedition*. Mr. Salvin has hkewise Brazihan specimens 

 of this species, collected by Natterer ; and Darwin records its occur- 

 rence at Monte Video (Zool. Voy. Beagle, iii. p. 129). 



Limosa hudsonica (Lath.). 



Chih (Bridges, P. Z. S. 1843. p. 118).
