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.
