N.B.—The nomenclature and arrangement of the present 
Tiist are, with few exceptions, the same as those of Sclater and 
Salvin’s ‘ Nomenclator Avium Neotropicalium ’ and Sclater and 
Hudson’s ‘ Argentine Ornithology.’ It contains only what the 
authors believe to be species that have been positively identified 
as occurring in Chili, and omits all those that are doubtful, or 
that have been erroneously introduced into previous lists. It 
includes in its scope all Chili, from the newly-acquired province 
of Tarapaca on the north to Chiloe on the south, but not the 
territory of Magellan.
