which I have also lately received a skin from Lima*; (3) Anous inca 

 {Sterna inca, Less.) ; atid (4) Hydrochelidon Jissipes, Limi., spoken 

 of by Pelzeln (Novara-Reise, p. 155) as H. plumbea. I do not know 

 Sterna atro-fasciata, Ph. et Landb., Wiegm. Arch. 1863, p. 204,

Fam. PoDiciPiD^. 



Dr. Hartlanb, in describing Podi/t/mbus antarcticus (Podiceps 

 antarcticus, Less.) in his article in ' Naumannia,' does not appear to 

 be aware that it is the same as P. brevirostris of Gray's ' Genera.' 

 The error appears to have occurred from it not being stated on the 

 plate in the ' Genera ' that the figure of P. brevirostris is reduced 

 iu size. 



The typical specimens of P. brevirostris were obtained in Chili by 

 Mr. Bridges. I cannot find any difference between them and speci- 

 mens of a Podilymbus collected on the lake of Atitlan in Guatemala 

 by Mr. Salvin ; so that it would appear that this species ranges all 

 alona; the Andes into Central America.

Fam. Spheniscid.e. 



The only Penguin that I know of occurring on the Chilian coast 

 is Spheniscus humboldtii, Meyen, which ranges as far north as Peru, 

 and, according to Meyen, is common in the harbour of Callao. 



I conclude these notes with a nominal list of what I believe to be 

 the authentically determined species of Chilian birds, amounting iu 

 all to 209, namely —

II. Picariae 11

IV. Colurnbse 6
