Show 144 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN [Feb. 13, 68. iEGIALITIS FALKLANDICA (Lath.). One specimen of this bird, which is not mentioned by Burmeister. 69. VANELLUS CAYENNENSIS (Gm.) ; Burm. 1. c. p. 502. 70. EUDROMIAS MODESTA (Licht.). Vanellus modestus, Burm. 1. c. p. 502. Four skins of this Plover in winter dress, and one in process of change to summer plumage. " Chorlito di inverno : a winter visitor.' - W . H. H. 71. HIMANTOPUS NIGRICOLLIS (Vieill.); Burm. I. c. p. 503. "Eye red: resident."-W. H. H. 72. GAMBETTA MELANOLEUCA (Gm.) ; Burm. I. c. p. 503. " Summer visitor. Becassina."-W. H. H. 73. GAMBETTA FLAVIPES (Gm.) ; Burm. I. c. p. 503. " Summer visitor."-W. H. H. 74. TRINGA BONAPARTII, Schlegel; Baird, Rev. A. B. p. 472. "Winter visitor."-W. H. II. Four skins of this species, which seems to be the " Chorlito pestorejo par do " of Azara. If this be so, the prior names Tringa fuscicollis (Vieill.) and T. campestris (Licht.) will be applicable to it. Burmeister does not mention it in his ' La- Plata-Reise ;' but it may be the Tringa campestris of his ' Syst. Ueb.' iii. p. 74. 75. TRINGA BAIRDI. Actodromas bairdi, Coues, Pr. Ac. Phil. 1851, p. 194. One skin of this species, which appears to be the " Chorlito lomo negro" of Azara; if so, Mr. Coues's name will have to give way to Tringa melanota, Vieill. (Tringa dorsalis, Meyen). 76. GALLINAGO PARAGUIAE (Vieill.) ; Schlegel, Mus. des P.-B. Scolopaces, p. 11. Scolopax frenata, Burm. I. c. p. 503. Schlegel makes this species different from his Gallinago frenata. But we may point out that Scolopax par•aguice, Vieillot, and S. frenata, Lichtenstein, are both based upon Azara's "Becasina prima" (No. 387) ; so that these names cannot be used for different species. The only two Snipes we have yet met with from La Plata, Patagonia, and Chili are the present species and G. stricklandi. 77• RHYNCHAEA SEMICOLLARIS (Vieill.). Rh. hilarii, Burm. I. c. p. 504 ; Azara, no. 405. One specimen. 78. ARAMIDES YPECAHA (Vieill.). Rallus ypecaha, Vieill. (ex Azara). |
