BIRDS. 89 



throat, chest, under surface of the shoulders, abdomen, and under tail-coverts 

 bright yellow : bill and feet brown. 



Habitat, Maldonado (May), and Valparaiso (September). 



Near Maldonado, I saw very large flocks of this species feeding on the open 

 grassy plains. When the whole flock rises, these birds utter alow but shrill chirp. 

 In Chile I obtained only one specimen.
