to 47 species, of wliich 11 are new to this avifauna. A 

 useful bibliography of previous authorities on tiie birds oE 

 these islands is given. It appears that Capt. Boyrl Alexander, 

 who has leeently written two articles on the subject (see Ibis, 

 1898, p. 14 and p. 277), has overlooked M. Oustalet's 

 " Description d'especes nouvelles d'Oiseaux provenant des 

 lies du Cap Yert" (Ann. Sc. Nat., Zool. ser. 6, xvi. art. v.), 

 in which Piijjinns edwardsi and Passer bruncoensis were de- 

 scribed as new. Count Salvadori considers the former to be 

 the same as Fuffinus niaria of Alexander, and the latter not 

 different from Passer jaguensis.

This third part brings to a conclusion Count Salvadori's 

 valuable memoir on Dr. E. Festa's splendid collection of the 

 birds of Ecuador. We have already (Ibis, 19rO, p. 393) 

 noticed the first and second parts, which were devoted to the 

 Oscines and Clamatores, and enumerated the 345 species of 

 Passeres represented in Dr. Festa's series. In the third part 

 the remaining Orders are treated of. They contain examples 

 of 268 species, 34 of which are new to the avifauna of 

 Ecuador. Four species are described as new to science — 

 Chloronerpes rubripileus, Capito aqiiatorialis, Pulsatrix fas- 

 ciativentris, and Penelope aquatorialis. 



In his concluding remarks the author states his views as 

 to the physical divisions of Ecuador, which he recognizes as 

 four in number — the Occidental, the Inter-Andean, the 

 Andean, and the Oriental, and states the principal forms of 

 bird-life typical of each of these divisions.
