Obs. E. E. aìbiceps dictae affinis sed multo minor, rostro 

 breviore, pilei pluniis minime cristatis, basi solummodo

 etc. A larger series is necessary to prove the constancy of 

 these characters. I have never seen specimens from Buenos 

 Aires, and am unable to state if they belong to E.parvirostris
