s on the east coast of Patagonia, and as farnorth as Buenos Ayres (Sclater & Salvin, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1868, p. 144) and Uraguay,where Darwin procured it during the voyage of the Beagle, I have an example collectedby Capt. Harrison at Santa Lucia, Rio de la Plate, which is unquestionably the Falkland-Island form. It arrives on the Falkland Islands early in September and leaves during April. It isan inland bird during the breeding-season, but on migration and during winter it becomesa shore bird, as might be inferred from the fact of its plain winter dress.
