Show 320 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON CHILIAN BIRDS. [Mar. 28, The nomenclature used in this paper, unless the contrary is stated, is that of m y ' Catalogue of American Birds.' M y friend Mr. Osbert Salvin has gone through the whole of the Columbee, Grallee, and Anseres referred to in these notes, along with me, and has brought his series of specimens for comparison. The results arrived at under these heads are, therefore, as much his conclusions as m y own. Fam. TuRDiDiE. I have only seen two species of this family undoubtedly from Chili -namely, Turdus falklandicus (from Chiloe, teste Darwin, Voy. Beagle, Birds, p. 59; and Valdivia, Hartl. Naum. 1853, p. 212) and Mimus thenca. Turdus fuscater, Lafr. & D'Orb., is stated by Gay (Hist, de Chile, Zool. i. p. 331) to be one of the "commonest birds in Chili," but Gay's authority is utterly unreliable. Lieut, Gilliss (U. S. Naval Astr. Exp. ii. p. 184) also states it to be "extremely common," but does not say in what locality. Burmeister met with this bird in the neighbourhood of Mendoza ; but that is on the other side of the Andes. (4) " Kurze Beschreibung einer neuen Chilenischen Ealle, von Dr. E. A. Philippi," Wiegm.
