Mr. P. L. Sclater on the Neotropical Pipits. 
I with it on the steppes {i. e. campos) of Inner Brazil^ near 
I Cnrytiba^ and says that its song is different from that of the 
I Bio bird, which dwells in the swamps (i. e. the next species)"^. 
I In both my specimens the wings are not quite perfect; hut, 
so far as I can judge by them, the fifth primary is but very 
slightly shorter than the fourth (as in A. bogotensis); aud this 
is decidedly the case in the skin belonging to the Vienna 
Museum. 
I Tlie dimensions of the three sj^ecimens are as follows :— 
Long. tota. Alae. 
in. in. 
a. Mus. P. L. S. ex Mus. Berol. (iSello). . 4*9 2*8 
lb. - (Natt) . 0*2 2*9 
c. Mus. Vindob, (Natt.) . 4*9 2*9 
Dig. post. 
Oaudae. lin. dir. 
in. in. 
1*9 
2*2 *4, 
2*2 *4 
On the whole, I think it extremely probable that this species 
is the true Chii ” of Azara, as it is much more likely that 
this bird of the Pampas should occur in Paraguay than the 
next-following species, which has not yet been recognized so 
far south.
