coverts, and the margins of the primaries, secondaries, and tail feathers, blue

black ; back yellowish-chestnut ; under tail coverts light-grey ; rump, breast, 
abdomen and flanks, deep wax-yellow ; bill bluish horn -colour ; feet light

Habitat, Tierra del Fuego ( December and February). 
This finch is common on the outskirts of the forests in Tierra del Fuego. 
Mr. Gould remarks, that it is nearly allied to F. Gayi, but it is much smaller, 
and is richer in its colouring.

I obtained specimens of this bird from Northern Chile, and Southern Pata- 
gonia. I saw it also in the Cordillera of Central Chile, at an elevation of at least 
eight thousand feet, near the upper limit of vegetation. In Patagonia it is not 
common, it frequents bushy valleys in small flocks, from six to ten in number. 
These birds sometimes move from thicket to thicket with a peculiar soaring flight: 
they occasionally utter very singular and pleasing notes.

I never saw this bird but once, and then it was in small flocks, on the most 
desert parts of the plains between the rivers Negro and Colorado, in Northern 
Patagonia.
