Show 1868.] ON BIRDS F R O M CONCHITAS. 145 Aramides gigas, Burm. I. c. p. 504; Schlegel, Mus. d. P.-B. Ralli,y>. 14. " Gal/inetta: eye yellow." This is certainly Vieillot's Rallus ypecaha, founded on Azara's Ypecaha, and appears to be the species indicated by Schlegel as A. gigas. W e have not yet met with the allied species, which he calls Aramides ypecaha. 79. RALLUS RHYTIRHYNCHUS, Vieill.; Scl. et Salv. P. Z. S. 1867, p. 990. Aramides rytirhynchus, Burm. I. c. p. 504. " Burito : a summer bird ; very scarce."-W. H. II. Two skins of this species, which we take to be the Rallus rhytirhynchus of Vieillot, founded upon Azara's "Ypecaha par do." Upon comparing them with Chilian specimens of Rallus sanguinolentus and the Peruvian skin of the same species obtained by Whitely (see P. Z. S. 1867, p. 990) it seems necessary to unite them all under the same name. The Chilian bird is certainly larger and has a longer beak; but Whitely's Peruvian skin is scarcely larger than one of the La Plata birds. 80. FULICA ARMILLATA, Vieill.; Burm. l.c. p. 505. One immature example, apparently, of this species. " Gallareta : eye hazel; very common."-W. H. H. 81. PARRA JACANA, Linn.; Burm. /. c. p. 506. Two examples of this wide-ranging species. 82. CHAUNA CHAVARIA (Linn.) ; Burm. 1. c. p. 506. " Chaja."-Vi. H. H. 83. BUTORIDES CYANURUS (Vieill.). Ardea cyanura, Vieill. N. D. xiv. p. 21, et E. M. p. 1120 (ex Azara). B. scapularis, Bp. Consp. ii. p. 128. " Summer visitor." Apparently not mentioned by Burmeister. 84. IBIS FALCINELLUS, Linn. T. chalcoptera, Burm. I. c. p. 511. " Summer visitor." Cf. Schlegel, Mus. d. P.-B. Lbides, p. 4, et v. Pelz. Novara-Reise, p. 125. 85. PLATALEA AJAJA (Linn.); Burm. l.c. p. 511. 86. PHCENICOPTERUS IGNIPALLIATUS, IS. Geoffr. ; Burm. /. c. p. 512. 87.
