Argentine Ornithology, Volume 2 (of 2): A descriptive catalogue of the birds of the Argentine Republic.
Hudson, W. H. (William Henry)
Birds -- Argentina
[This article contains the results of an examination of a second
collection from the same locality, likewise belonging to the Smithsonian
Institution, and adds 14 species to the former list. It also gives an
account of a collection made by Mr. Haslehurst near Buenos Ayres, which
contains examples of 10 species not up to that date transmitted by
Hudson.]
(3) Third List of Birds collected at Conchitas, Arg. Rep., by Mr. W.
H. Hudson. P. Z. S. 1869, p. 631.
[Hudson's third collection sent to the Smithsonian Institution contained
examples of 92 species, of which 33 were additional to those contained
in the two former lists. Thus the total number of species of the
district of Quilmes is raised to 143.]
WEISSHAUPT, ALBERT.
Herr Weisshaupt was a German collector at Santiago, Chili, who came
several times to London with fine collections of living animals (see P.
Z. S. 1870, p. 664, and 1871, p. 700). He made one or more excursions to
Mendoza from Santiago, and collected bird-skins in the vicinity of that
city. Many of these skins were acquired by Messrs. Salvin and Godman and
myself respectively and are in our collections.
WHITE, ERNEST WILLIAM.
Ernest William White was another active worker in Argentine ornithology,
whose untimely death we have lately had occasion to deplore[14]. During
five years' journeyings in the northern provinces of the Republic White
made very extensive collections and accumulated a mass of excellent
notes, which are published in the following papers:--
[14] For biographical notice of this naturalist see Ibis, 1885, p. 335.
(1) Notes on Birds collected in the Argentine Republic. With Notes by
P. L. Sclater, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S. P. Z. S. 1882, p. 591.
[This article contains field-notes on 201 species from various provinces
of Argentina, including Misiones and Oran. The species were mostly
determined by me, and I added some remarks.]
(2) Supplementary Notes on the Birds of the Argentine Republic. With
Remarks by P. L. Sclater. P. Z. S. 1883, p. 37.
[Contains remarks on 33 additional species, mostly from Cosquin, near
Cordova. I added some notes, and described _Poospiza whitii_ as new.]
(3) Further Notes on the Birds of the Argentine Republic. P. Z. S.
1883, p. 432.
[Gives the names of and notes upon 19 additional species, determined by
comparison of specimens with those in my collection and that of Messrs.
Salvin and Godman.]
Mr. White's 'Cameos from the Silverland' (2 vols., London, 1881-82)
should likewise be carefully studied by those who wish to become
acquainted with the natural history of the Argentine Republic.
WITHINGTON, FRANK.
On the Birds of the Lomas de Zamora, Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic.
By Frank Withington. With Notes by P. L. Sclater. Ibis, 1888,
p. 461.
