This volume contains the Passeres (19 Families) found in the above 
district, which is included in the Patagonian sub-region by Sclater. An 
important feature in the work is the Introduction [issued with vol. II in 
1889], where we find the chief characteristics of the avifauna well and 
clearly described, with a table of over- or under-representation, as com- 
pared with the whole Neotropical region, and a special account of each 
family. The Argentine list comprises 434 species in all, 229 of them 
being Passerine ; and among these again the FrlngilUdce, Dendrocolaptidcc, 
and Tyrannidce predominate, especially the last. * 10 gonera are believed to 
be peculiar to the country. The scientific portion, &c., is entirely due 
to Sclater, Hudson being responsible for the personal observations.
