The list recording our specimens from the tropical zone 

 of Eastern Ecuador proves very plainly, that the affinities 

 with the fauna of the »Amazonian» district of Colombia (Ce) 

 are very great. The remaining species, as far as they are not 

 endemic (marked with an asterisc), are found in Brazil or 

 eastern Peru, but not a single one is recorded from the western 

 side of the Andes. Although the number of tropical birds in 

 this collection is small, this may be considered as a general 



rule. 



The list of the species from the tropical zone of Western 

 Ecuador shows a rather great number (17) of endemic forms 

 (chiefly Colibris), and just as many are also at home in the 

 Pacific region of Colombia. Seven have a rather wide distribu- 

 tion and are found in Colombia as well. Two species have 

 ranged down from Central America and are hitherto not 

 recorded from Colombia nor from Ecuador. Three species 

 extend their distribution into Peru, but do not belong to 

 the Colombian fauna. 



These notes may be of certain interest, although the 

 present material from the tropical zone of Ecuador is far too 

 scanty to give any general view of the bird life there. 



In addition to the above lists of resident birds the f ollowing 

 enumeration of the migrants may be of interest:
