28. Nycticorax obscurus, Bp. 

 Esam})les of these three Herons from Sacaya. 

 Only A. candidissima was in the former list. 



29. Phcenicopterus andinus, Philippi. 



Several examples of this Flamingo from the salt-marshes of 

 Canchosa. 



Mr. Lane did not meet with Ph.jamesi (P. Z. S. 1886, p. 399, 

 pi. xxxyi.), which probably only occurs at still higher altitudes, and 

 writes that he could obtain no intelligence of it. 



I observe that Dr. Phihppi includes two Flamingoes in his list 

 ('Ornis,' 1888, p. 160), but calls the second species P. ignipal- 

 liatus. 



30. Bernicla melanoptera, Eyton. 



Sacaya. Adult and young. 



" The Andean Goose builds in holes in banks or cliffs. I had 

 rather a job taking its nest. I lowered myself with a rope, and 

 hung for nearly an hour and a half before I could get at it. The 

 wind was so high and the dust so bad I could not see. The nest 

 and eggs were beyond my reach in a slight hollow ; however, after 

 some time I raked them out." — A^. A. L. in litt.
