tions are rapidly formed, that on these intelligent (individual) utilisation of ex- 

 perience is founded, that there is no evidence of instinctive knowledge; corre- 

 lation of impressions and ideas is not inherited , but co-ordination of activities, 

 which is rendered more perfect by intelligent guidance; imitation is an important 

 factor of mental development. The inherited activities are at first not guided, but 

 accompanied by consciousness.

Chapman, Frk. M., On the Birds of the Island of Trinidad, in : Bull. Amer. 

 Mus. Nat. Hist, Vol. VI. Art. L p. 1—86. 



During his trip to the island fFebr. 23 — May 7) the author identified 136 land- 

 and 15 water birds. He gives a list of 306 sp., of which Empidochaìies Cabanisi 

 canescens is new. The 199 land birds common to Trinidad and the continent show 

 that it belongs in the Colombian, rather than in the Amazonian region. 12 sp. are 

 peculiar to Trinidad or to Trinidad and Tobago. Tobago has 6 species, which are 

 as yet unknown from Trinidad. New to the fauna of Trinidad are Dysithamnus 

 mentalis spodionotus , Sclerurus albigularis , Sublegutus glabe)- , 3Iyiozetetes sul- 

 phur eus , Chlor ospingus Leotaudi. 10 species of North- American land-birds visit 

 Trinidad. Of the 5 north-american land-birds which visit the Bermudas three 

 [Ceryle alcyon, Chelidon erythrogaster, Seiurus noveboracensis) have been taken in 

 Trinidad. Remarks on nesting and on colours.
