which are frequently found there) are quite different from 
the birds 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. Winge on the Birds captured at the Danish 
Lighthouses . 
[Fuglene ved de danske Fyr i 1910. 28de Aarsbiretning oni danske 
Fugle. Ved Herluf Winge. Vid. Meddel. fr. d. naturh. Foren. i 
Kobenhavn, 1911.]' 
Dr. Winge sends us a copy of the 28th report on the 
birds taken or observed on the Danish Lighthouses 
in 1910 *. Thirty-one of the Lighthouses sent their 
specimens to the Zoological Museum 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 ai'vensis) and the Starling (Sturnus vulgar is) 
appear to have been among the most numerous victims, 
though the Song-Thrush ( Tardus musicus ) and Redwing 
[T. iliacus) 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 grisola 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 Lighthouse 
in the Isle of Wight might be of interest.
