following characters :—the wings are grey, wanting the 
broad white band so conspicuous in T. caudatus ; besides, 
the large rusty-fulvous patch in the middle of the lower part 
of the fore neck is wanting ; the breast is not slaty black 
as in T. caudatus , but fulvous white like the neck, and 
between this and the breast there is a grey transverse band, 
more or less broad; finally the hidden bases of the second¬ 
aries are not white. 
I have examined only three specimens of this species, 
all in the Turin Museum. One, from an unknown locality, 
and apparently the oldest of the three, has the upper 
parts grey, almost uniform, and the grey pectoral band 
not very distinct, being formed by grey feathers, tipped 
with fulvous-white, so that the band seems almost obsolete. 
Reichenbach has figured a similar bird, apparently with no 
pectoral band at all (op. cit. fig. 532). Besides, the above- 
mentioned bird is remarkable for having the feathered line 
along the middle of the throat confined to the upper part, 
while lower down the throat is entirely naked, even in the 
middle. 
The other two specimens examined by me are both from 
Chile, one sent by the Piedmontese consul Cav. Picollet, and 
the other (a male) obtained from the Museum of Santiago 
during the voyage of the ‘Magenta/ They are nearly 
similar, and differ from the preceding one in having the 
band along the middle of the throat entirely feathered, 
the feathers of the upper parts with a dark subapical 
spot quite distinct, the grey pectoral band broader, and 
the greater wing-coverts somewhat whitish. I think that 
both these birds are immature. 
The area of this species has been clearly described by 
Berlepsch and Stolzmann. It extends from Magellania to 
Chile and the western part of Peru as far north as lea 
and Chorillos. On the east it inhabits Patagonia, whence 
during winter it migrates into the southern part of Argen¬ 
tina, apparently as far north as the Province of Buenos 
Ayres (Hudson).
