LÖNNBERG AND RENDAHL, ORNITHOLOGY OF ECUADOR. 5 



in the above list, have been found only just at the limit towards 

 the subtropical zone and a little below the same as well. We 

 have, however, incorporated them into the temperate zone, 

 because their distribution, as far is it is known to us, extends 

 more broadly into the temperate than into the subtropical 

 zone. 



With regard to both species of Gallinago it is to be observed, 

 that they have been recorded by Chapman for the Påramo 

 zone, but in the present collection they are only represented 

 by specimens from the temperate zone^, although in the inter- 

 Andean valley. No doubt they are equally at home in both 

 zones in suitable localities. 



Some of the waterbirds appear to be new to the fauna of 

 Ecuador as for instance Tantalus loculator, Nycticorax tayazu- 

 guira, Nyroca imtioni.

C means, that the species in question also is recorded 

 by Chapman for Colombia, and w the western, c the central, 

 and e the eastern parts of this country. P in a similar way 

 indicates, that the species is mentioned by the author quoted 

 for the Urubamba valley, Peru. It is evident that the greater 

 number of species from this zone is found in Colombia as well.
