Specific characters. Geographi- cal distribu- tion. The South-American Painted Snipe may always be recognized by its small size, the wing from the carpal joint only measuring about four instead of about five inches. In adult plumage the large round white spots on the black wing-coverts are very conspicuous. It inhabits the Chilian subregion of the Neotropical Region. To the Straits of Magellan it is probably only a summer migrant, which occasionally wanders in winter as far north as Peru and Brazil. Capt. Markham obtained it at Coquimbo in Chili (about lat. 30° south), and it is recorded from Peru (Tschudi, Fauna Peruan. p. 300). I have examples collected by Capt. Harrison near Buenos Ayres, and it has been recorded from the province of San Paulo in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Seebohm, Henry, 1832-1895.
