3. San Javier, Arg. Rep., June 8, 1881. 
This bird is found here at times in flocks, and makes a great deal 
of noise, but is exceedingly wild and difficult to shoot, so that I 
had to use ball-cartridge to secure this specimen.

Iris dark sepia. ' 
This bird was bagged in a vineyard; but it does not appear to be 
abundant at Andalgala, although in the scattered thorny woods of 
the sandy plains around San Pedro (Santiago del Estero), in Cordova, 
and other parts many are seen; and on one occasion I noticed a 
stray specimen as far south as the neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. 
Rarely are two observed together, as they seem each to appro- 
priate a plot of ground, and, if chased, return as soon as possible to 
that spot, of which they never lose sight. Perching on the top of a 
bush, they now and again dart to the ground for insects, or into the 
air for flies. I shot a pair on the outskirts of the cultivated ground, 
where they are usually found near houses; these were busy con- 
structing a nest of twigs and horsehair in the lower part of an 
algaroba tree. 
In Misiones the bird is rare.

several others, took refuge under the verandah of our house, and 
was captured by a boy. It is very rare,
