An elaborate essay in which tlie author attempts to prove that the law 

 of distribution of non-migratory land-birds of the Philippines may be stated 

 as follows: "The genus is represented by but a single species in a place. 

 Or in more general terms as follows: No two species near eiwugh alike 

 structurally to be adapted to the same conditions -will occupy the same area." 

 On this subject see Worcester, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus. (1898), 20, 567.
