(3) Notes on some Birds observed in the Chupat Valley, Patagonia, and in the Neighbouring District. Ibis, 1877, p. 27.
[Durnford first visited Chupat, on the river of the same name, in Eastern Patagonia (43 20' S. lat.), in October 1876; 62 species of birds are noted and commented upon.]
(4) Notes on the Birds of Central Patagonia. Ibis, 1878, p. 389.
[Durnford's second visit to Chupat extended from September 1877 to April 1878. The list of birds is now extended to 89, and it is not believed that many more will be found to occur in the district.]
(5) Last Expedition to Tuc.u.man and Salta. Ibis, 1880, p. 411, pl.
xii.
[This is an almost verbatim copy of Durnford's journal in 1878, during his expedition to Tuc.u.man and Salta. Many notes on birds are inserted.
Durnford died at Campo Santo, in the province of Salta, on July 13th, 1878. The collection made on this occasion was worked out by Mr. Salvin (Ibis, 1880, p. 351, see below).]
GIBSON, ERNEST.
Mr. Ernest Gibson, who has been resident in the Argentine Republic since about 1873, is an excellent observer in the field, and has written two very interesting papers on our subject, from which we have quoted largely in this work.
(1) Ornithological Notes from the Neighbourhood of Cape San Antonio, Buenos Ayres. Ibis, 1879, p. 405; 1880, pp. 1, 153.
Mr. Gibson's notes, which relate to 61 species, are in most cases very full and contain particulars of the breeding-habits, eggs, and nests.
Cape San Antonio is on the Atlantic coast, south of Buenos Ayres (36 20' S. lat.).
(2) Notes on the Birds of Paisandu, Republic of Uruguay.
(Communicated by J. J. Dalgleish.) Ibis, 1885, p. 275.
Field-notes on 52 species from this locality, which Mr. Gibson visited in 1883. The specimens were sent to Mr. J. J. Dalgleish and named by P.

GIEBEL, Prof. C. (of Halle, Germany).
Einige neue und wenig bekannte argentinische Vogel. Zeitschr. f. d.
ges. Naturwiss. x.x.xi. p. 11 (1868).
In this paper the author described two new Bolivian species and two Argentine species (_Troglodytes fasciolatus_ and _Geobamon rufipennis_), from specimens in the Halle Museum received from Dr. Burmeister.
GOULD, JOHN.
Gould determined the species in the collection made by Darwin during the voyage of the 'Beagle,' and drew up the scientific portion of the report on the birds, which forms vol. iii. of the "Zoology" of the voyage.
Owing to his departure for Australia the MS. was subsequently completed and edited by G. R. Gray (see DARWIN, C.).
HOLMBERG, Dr. E. L.

[Seventy-nine species of birds are given as occurring in the Sierra of Tandil, south of Buenos Ayres, and slight field-notes are added.]
HUDSON, WILLIAM HENRY, C.M.Z.S.
My fellow-author of the present work, though English in name and origin and now resident in London, is an Argentine citizen by birth. From his early childhood he was an observer of bird-life in the province of Buenos Ayres, and continued his investigations until he left the country for England a few years ago. Besides the pampas he explored the woods and marshes along the Plata, and the range of the Sierras from Cape Corrientes on the Atlantic to the Azul and Tapalquen, and made an expedition to the Rio Negro in 1871.
