It does not appear to extend much south of the Buenos Argentina Aires region in Argentina, though it breeds in the Chaco (Hartert and Venturi, 1909),and has been taken in Jujuy Province (Lonnberg, 1903). It has also been met with in Tucuman(Burmeister, 1860), in Cordoba (Schultz,^de Dabbene, 1910), rarely in the La Plata region (Sclaterand Hudson, 1889), and even in Buenos Aires (Durnford, 1878). East and north of the La Plata it is more abundant. It unquestionably inhabits Uruguay (Tre- moleros, 1920) and is found in southeastern Brazil in Rio Grande do Sul (H. and R. von Ihering, Yj 1907), in Parana (H. and R. von Ihering, 1907) and on the Rio Parana (von Pelzeln, 1868-71.

On the north coast it appears to be common in all the Guianas. TheMusee des Pays-Bas has aspecimen from Cayenne, and F. and A. Penard (1908-10) state that it is abundant and that it breedsin the interior of Dutch Guiana. It was found common also in British Guiana (R. p .Schomburgk, 1848; C. B.
