428 Henry Durnford’s last Expedition. 
Little black Flycatcher, male, one shot, common; perches 
on low bushes. I believe also the brown Flycatcher is the 
same species, but the female of the above; one also shot. 
Zonotrichia pileata, two shot, very common everywhere. 
Little reddish Flycatcher, common, one shot,afemale. The 
male has a bright crimson crest. 
Little rufous Flycatcher, one shot. Lives in low trees; 
the male is black, I believe. 
June 23-25. During the two first days I remained at 
Campo Santo, or rather San Isidro, having an exceedingly 
pleasant time. The nights are cold, but the days delightfully 
warm. On the last-named date I left in the afternoon for 
San Bernardo, asmall hamlet on the property of Don Cornejo. 
We arrived in the evening, though only twelve miles, having 
many delays with the mules. It is to the east of San Isidro, 
at the foot of some low Sierras and close to the Rio Lavayer. 
June 26. Iam established at the house of Don Rudolpho 
Figaro, at San Bernardo. The woods here are very large 
and the verdure luxuriant. On some neighbouring Sierras, 
about five miles to the east, there is often snow, and fifteen 
miles to the west there is a range of Sierras whose tops are 
rarely without snow. 
Hawk, one shot, common, seen frequently durmg my 
journey from Cordova ; frequents same places and flies much 
the same as Tinnunculus sparverius. 
June 27. It is much colder here than at San Isidro. 
Every night we have a frost. The thermometer at 9 a.m. in 
the shade averages about 40°. At midday, or rather about 
2 p.M., it rises to 70°, and in the sun much higher. Skinned 
eight birds. 
Woodpecker, small, same as about Rio de las Piedras, com- 
mon ; frequents low trees. 
Woodpecker, red-headed, common in the monte; two shot. 
Flycatcher, two shot, common. 
Finch, two shot, common ; feeds on buds. 
June 28. Went out shooting and did collecting. The 
woods are good for small birds, containing many pools of 
water. Skinned six birds. Very cold at night, in the day 
very pleasant.
