■which are frecjuently found there) are quite different from 

 the hirds of the adjoining forest, and belong to genera, and, 

 in many cases, even to species, which are of wide dis- 

 tribution in other parts of the South-American continent. 

 Madame Snethlage gives a list of more than forty species 

 belonging to the Avifauna of the campos of Amazonia in 

 which this is the case. 



105. IViiifje on fhe Birds captured at the Danish

Dr. Winge sends us a copy of the 28th report on the 

 birds taken or observed on the Danish Liglithouses 

 in 1910 ^ . Thirty-one of the Lighthouses sent their 

 specimens to the Zoological ]\Iuseum at Copenhagen. 

 These were altogether 1307 in number, and are referred 

 by Dr. Winge to 77 species, of which a list is given. The 

 Sky-Lark [Alauda c^-yewm) and the Starling [Sturnusvulgaris) 

 appear to have been among the most numerous victims, 

 1 hough the Song-Thrush {Tardus musicus) and Redwing 

 [T. iJiacus) were likewise abundant, as in former years. Of 

 Robins {Erithacus rubecula) 62 were sent in, but more were 

 captured. Numerous notes about the various localities, 

 a separate account of the birds met with at each Light- 

 house, and the dates of their occurrences are given. Only 

 one Muscicapa r/risola was met with, while 66 examples of 

 M. atricapilla were registered — the latter, we believe, being 

 by far the commoner species in Scandinavia. 



We venture to suggest to the Migration Committee of the 

 B.O.U. that a somewhat similar report on the occurrences 

 of the nocturnal visitors to St. Catherine's Ligiitiiouse 

 in the Isle of Wight might be of interest.
