Show 1867.] MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. 989 45. PHOLEOPTYNX CUNICULARIA (Mol.). Catarindos valley. "Eye light yellow." 46. GLAUCIDIUM INFUSCATUM (Temm.). Arequipa, one specimen, marked female. 47. ZENAIDA AURICULATA, Gray; Bp. Consp. ii. p. 82. A single example from Arequipa, marked "male: eyes dark brown." 48. METRIOPELIA AYMARA, Knip etPrev.; Bp. Consp. ii. p. 76. One skin of this scarce species, from Salinas. 49. CHAMAPELIA ERYTHROTHORAX (Meyen). Two specimens from Arequipa. " Eyes dark blue." We believe that this species, which has been hitherto called Chameepelia anais (Less.)*, has an older name in Columba erythrothorax, Meyen, Acta Leopoldino-Car. vol. xvi. Suppl. p. 98, t. 16 (Chameepelia monticola, Tsch. F. P. pp. 45, 276 ; Columbida erythrothorax, Bp. ii. p. 80). The only discrepancy to be discovered is that Meyen's figure does not show the naked eye. Meyen's specimen is stated to have been obtained from the x\ndes above Arequipa. 50. CHAMAEPELIA CRUZIANA (Knip et Prev.) ; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1866, p. 100. Columbula cruziana, Bp. Consp. ii. p. 80. Several examples of both sexes from Arequipa. 51. TINAMOTIS PENTLANDI, Vigors, P. Z. S. 1836, p. 79; Gray & Mitch. Gen. of B. t. 138. One skin of this remarkable bird from Arequipa. 52. OREOPHILUS RUFICOLLIS (Wagl.). Charadrius ruficollis, Wagler, Isis, 1829, p. 653. Oreophilus totanirostris, Jard. & Selb. 111. Orn. iii. p. 1.51. A single male specimen in adult plumage, from Islay. 53. THINOCORUS RUMICIVORUS, Eschscholtz. A specimen of this bird from Islay is much smaller in dimensions than Chilian and Argentine examples, and agrees in this respect with a skin recently received by Sclater from Lima (Prof. Nation). It is also rather paler in colouring. 54. THINOCORUS ORBIGNYANUS, Geoffr. et Less. Cent. Zool. p. 137, t. 48, 49. Three examples of this species, from Salinas. Eyes of male specimen marked " dark hazel." * Cf. Sclater, P. Z. S. 1866, p. 100. |
