2. PELIDNA MINUTILLA. _Gould._ Tringa minutilla, _Vieill._ Ency. Meth. 1089. Galapagos Archipelago. Both the specimens which I procured here are smaller than the ordinary size of this bird, but do not differ in other respects. Vieillot says it ranges from the Antilles to Canada. RHYNCHÆA SEMICOLLARIS. _G. R. Gray._ Totanus semicollaris, _Vieill._, Ency. Meth. p. 1100. Rhynchæa Hilairea, _Valenc. Less._ Ill. de Zool. pl. 18. Rhynchæa occidentalis, _King_, Zool. Journ. iv. 94. Le chorlito a demi colliers blanc et noiratre, _Azara_, No. 409. Monte Video, Rio Plata. Frequents swamps; habits like the Scolopax Gallinago. 1. SCOLOPAX (TELMATIAS) PARAGUAIÆ. _Vieill._ Scolopax Paraguai, _Vieill._ Ency. Meth. p. 1160. —— Brasiliensis, _Swains_, Faun. Bor. Am. Birds, p. 400. Becassine 1st Espece, _Azara_. Valparaiso and Maldonado, Rio Plata. 2. SCOLOPAX (TELMETIAS) MAGELLANICUS. _King._ Scolopax Magellanicus, _King_, Zool. Journ. My specimens were obtained from Maldonado and East Falkland Island. Flight a very little less irregular and rapid than the English snipe. I several times in May observed this, as well as the foregoing species, flying in lofty circles, and suddenly stooping downwards, at the same time that it uttered a peculiar drumming noise, similar to that made by the English snipe in summer, when breeding. This species is most closely allied to the foregoing, but I have no doubt it is distinct; because at the time when I procured specimens of both at Maldonado, I perceived a difference between them. This species is there more abundant than the _S. Paraguaiæ_. Its beak is nearly three-tenths of an inch shorter, and the culmen rather broader. The plumage of its back is of a decidedly less dark tint; each separate feather having much less black in it. STREPSILAS INTERPRES. _Ill._ Tringa Morinellus, _L._ I obtained specimens from Iquique, on the coast of Peru, and from the Galapagos Archipelago. CREX LATERALIS. _Licht._ Crex lateralis, _Licht._, Cat. p. —— _Griff._ An. King. Aves. Maldonado, Rio Plata. On being disturbed readily takes wing. Base of the bill, especially of the lower mandible, bright green. 1.
