On comparing these specimens with the series in the 
British Museum, I find that the individuals from Uruguay 
and Lomas de Zamora (seven in number, six of which are 
males aud one female) have longer wings and measure from 
2*6 to 2*75 inches ; while thirteen others, nine of which are 
males and four females, from Mendoza, Rio Negro, Pata¬ 
gonia, Punta Lara, Cio Lijan, Conchitas, Belgrano, Ajo, and 
Paraguay, only measure 2*35 to 2‘5 inches.
