commenced so far back as 1903. lu a prefatory note he 

 states that it lias been a labour of love, and hopes that his 

 readers will have as much pleasure in reading it as he has 

 had in writing it. The present part contains the additions 

 and corrections from the genus Sylvia to the end of the 

 Game-birds. These are naturally much more numerous for 

 the earlier A'olumcs and bring the whole work up to date. 

 There is also a complete and most useful index to all these 

 volumes. We regret to notice some misprints — such as 

 Bannermann (sic) on p. 2018, which we fear will not be well 

 received by our luembers. 



The influence that Dr. Hartert and the Vog. pal. Faun, 

 has exercised on the jounger generation of workers in 

 systematic ornithology is beyond all question, and this work 

 will remain for all time a monument of his accurate and 

 careful methods. We are sure that all our fellow-members 

 of the Union will join in offering hinj their warmest 

 congratulations on the completion of his long task. 



Lonnberg and Rendahl on the birds of Ecuador. 



[A contribution to the ornitliology of Ecuador. By Einar Lcinnberg 

 and Hiahnar Rendahl. Ark. Zool. Stockholm, vol. 14, no. 2o, 1922, 

 pp. 1-87.] 



The Museum at Stockholm has recently received a con- 

 siderable collection of birds from Ecuador, formed by 

 Mr. L. Soderstrom the well-known Swedish Consul at 

 Quito. The collection is a large one, comprising over 

 four hundred different forms of resident birds, all of which 

 were most carefully labelled with exact localities, and also, a 

 most important point in the case of Andean collections, with 

 the exact altitude. The introduction contains a discussion 

 of the zonal distribution of the birds, in which the facts are 

 carefully compared with those obtained bv ^Ir. Chapman in 

 Colombia and more recently in Peru. The tables given 

 bring out very clearly a great difference between the faunas 

 of the eastern and w( stern sides of the Andean range. 



Following the introduction is the enumeration of the 

 species and subspecies collected, with some valuable notes
