Two clutches of eggs sent by Mr. Foster were collected 
in October. The ground-colour is ochraceous buff, spotted 
and blotched with black and chestnut-brown, with underlying 
spots of greyish purple. The measurements are : axis l - 75 
to 1*9 inches ; diameter 1*25 to P3. 
[Owing to the great difference between Argentine and 
Paraguayan territory, the Teru Teru is by no means abundant, 
and in the neighbourhood of Sapucay is quite a rare bird. The 
wide level camp-lands of the south give place to smaller 
patches of open lands here, and the high rank grasses make 
it no fit place for a runner such as the Teru Teru. It can 
still be met with sparingly in swampy districts, but in the 
wooded parts which are general throughout Central Paraguay, 
its call is but seldom heard.— W. F7\
