45. Pholkoptynx cunicularia (MoL). 

 Catarindos valley. "Eye light yellow." 



-/-46. Glaucidium infuscatum (Teinin.). 

 Arequipa, one specimen, marked /"emale. 



47. Zenaida auriculata, Gray ; Bp. Consp. ii. p. 82. 



A single example from Arequipa, marked " male : eyes dark 

 brown." 



48. Metriopelia aymara, Knip et Prev. ; Bp. Consp. ii. p. 76. 

 One skin of this scarce species, from Salinas. 



49. Cham^epelia erythrothorax (Meyen). 



Two specimens from Arequipa. " Eyes dark blue." We believe 

 that this species, which has been hitherto called Chamcejjelia anais 

 (Less.)*, has an older name in CoJumba erythrothorax, Meyen, Acta 

 Leopoldino-Car. vol. xvi. Suppl. p. 98, t. 16 (Chamcepelia nio?ificola, 

 Tsch. F. P. pp. 45, 276; Columbula erythrothorax, Bp. ii. p. 80). 

 The only discrepancy to be discovered is that Meyen' s figure does 

 not show the naked eye. Meyen's specimen is stated to have been 

 obtained from the Andes above Arequipa. 



50. Cham^pelia cruziana (Knip et Prev.) ; Sclater, P. Z. S. 

 1866, p. 100. 



Columbula cruziana, Bp. Consp. ii. p. 80. 

 Several examples of both sexes from Arequipa. 



51. TiNAMOTis pentlandi. Vigors, P. Z. S. 1836, p. 79; Gray 

 & Mitch. Gen. of B. t. 138. 



One skin of this remarkable bird from Arequipa. 



52. Oreophilus ruficollis (Wagl.). 



Charadrius ruficollis, Wagler, Isis, 1829, p. 653. 

 Oreophilus totanirostris, Jard. & Selb. 111. Orn. iii. p. 151. 

 A single male specimen in adult plumage, from Islay. 



53. Thinocorus rumicivorus, Eschscholtz. 



A specimen of this bird from Islay is much smaller in dimensions 

 than Chilian and Argentine examples, and agrees in this respect with 

 a skin recently received by Sclater from Lima (Prof. Nation). It 

 is also rather paler in colouring. 



54. Thinocorus orbignyanus, GeofFr. et Less. Cent. Zool. 

 p. 137, t. A^, 49. 



Three examples of this species, from Salinas. Eyes of male speci- 

 men marked " dark hazel."
