Ernest William White was another active worker in Argentine ornithology,
whose untimely death we have lately had occasion to deplore[14]. During
five years' journeyings in the northern provinces of the Republic White
made very extensive collections and accumulated a mass of excellent
notes, which are published in the following papers:--
[14] For biographical notice of this naturalist see Ibis, 1885, p. 335.
(1) Notes on Birds collected in the Argentine Republic. With Notes by
P. L. Sclater, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S. P. Z. S. 1882, p. 591.
[This article contains field-notes on 201 species from various provinces
of Argentina, including Misiones and Oran. The species were mostly
determined by me, and I added some remarks.]
(2) Supplementary Notes on the Birds of the Argentine Republic. With
Remarks by P. L. Sclater. P. Z. S. 1883, p. 37.
[Contains remarks on 33 additional species, mostly from Cosquin, near
Cordova. I added some notes, and described _Poospiza whitii_ as new.]
(3) Further Notes on the Birds of the Argentine Republic. P. Z. S.
1883, p. 432.
[Gives the names of and notes upon 19 additional species, determined by
comparison of specimens with those in my collection and that of Messrs.
Salvin and Godman.]
Mr. White's 'Cameos from the Silverland' (2 vols., London, 1881-82)
should likewise be carefully studied by those who wish to become
acquainted with the natural history of the Argentine Republic.
