 ravines of Tacna, now within the frontiers of Chili.

ZonotricJiia pileata, Sharpe, Cat. B. xii. p. Gil. 

 Pica.

Obs. Affinis P. frutieeti, sed capite et dorso unicolore nigris 

 distinguendus. 



Two specimens of this bird are in the collection, both obtained at 

 an Estancia eight leagues from Sacaya, on the 20th March, 1890, 

 and marked as males. The second specimen is not quite in such full 

 plumage as the one described, and shows more cinereous colour on 

 the back and belly. 



The species is obviously nearly allied to P. fruticeti, but at once 

 recognizable by its much blacker coloration. 



7. Xenospingus concolor (d'Orb. et Lafr.). 



Xenospingus concolor, Sharpe, Cat. B. xii. p. 799. 



Five examples of both sexes from Pica. 



This remarkable Fringilline bird was discovered by d'Orbigny near 

 Arica, rather further north. Whitely obtained sj^ecimens of it in 

 the province of Arequipa (see P. Z. S. 1868, p. 174).
