Iris dark brown. 
This bird, which is very quick in its movements, builds a very 
delicate little nest, of a deep but very round cup-shape, formed of 
interlaced horsehair, so open and thin as to be seen through. It is 
abundant in the orchard trees around Buenos Aires, but sometimes 
may be seen pendent from maize-stalks, It is possessed of a nice 
song, and breeds very late, indeed quite up to the beginning of 
autumn. It lays three eggs in a clutch, of a pale bluish-green, 
mottled with small sepia blotches and spots, which, occurring more 
thickly in a central band, leave the ends somewhat free. 
Meas.: axis 18 millim., diam. 13 millim. 
35. PAROARIA CUCULLATA (Lath.). 
dg. Buenos Aires, Arg. Rep., Dec. 5, 1881. 
A tolerably common bird in the upper Riverine provinces ; and 
much kept asa cage-bird in Buenos Aires; as it has a very fine 
whistle, almost rivalling that of the English Blackbird in power, but 
not in variety. 
36. Paroaria cAprTata (Lafr. et d’Orb.). 
3. Argentine Republic, March 31, 1881. 
The exact locality of this species is unknown to me, as I obtained 
it alive from a bird-fancier in Buenos Aires ; but most probably it 
came from some part of the province of Corrientes. 
37. CORYPHOSPINGUS CRISTATUS (Gm.). 
. Oran, Salta, Arg. Rep., Nov. 15, 1880. 
Iris sepia.
