most nearly akin to that of Celebes. 0£ tlie 50 species "whicli 

 remain^ after deducting those of wide distribution^ more than 

 half are restricted to the Sanghir group ; of the remainder^ 10 

 are also found in Celebes^ while only 3 are Philippine species. 

 Moreover^ the peculiar species in most cases have their nearest 

 allies in Celebes. 



Macropygia sanghirensis, Zosterops nehrhorni, and Criniger

32. Chapman on Birds from British Columbia. 



[On a Collection of Birds made by ]Mr. Clark P. Streator in British 

 Columbia, with Field Notes by the Collector. By Frank M. Chapman. 

 Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. iii. p. 123.] 



Mr. Streator went to British Columbia in 1889, and made 

 a collection of about 1000 specimens of birds for the 

 American Museum of Natural History. These are referred 

 by Mr. Chapman to 160 species, and the collector's field- 

 notes are given. Mr. Streator's seven localities were partly 

 on the coast, where the rainfall is excessive and the forest 

 is dense, and partly in the interior^ east of the coast-range, 

 where the climate is dry and the vegetation scanty. In the 

 prefatory remarks, Mr. Chapman makes some interesting 

 observations on the different avifaunas of these two districts, 

 and gives a comparative table of the coast-forms and their 

 representatives in the interior. In 31 cases these " north- 

 west-coast forms " have been differentiated from their con- 

 geners, and have become " darker and more richly coloured, 

 or more heavily barred or streaked." 



33. Clarke on Birds from Hudson's Bay. 



[On a Collection of Birds from Fort Chm-chill, Hudson's Bay. By W. 

 Eagle Clarke. ' The Auk,' vii. p. 319.] 



Mr. W. Eagle Clarke gives an account of a collection pre- 

 sented to the Edinburgh Museum in 1845 by Dr. Gillespie, 

 Jr., which had been made by him during his residence at 

 Fort Churchill, Hudson^s Bay, formerly the most northerly 

 outpost of civilized man's residence on the shores of this 

 great inland sea. The specimens are referred to 77 species, 

 and named according to the A. O. U. Check-list.
