to 47 species, of which 11 are new to this avifauna. A 
useful bibliography of previous authorities on the birds of 
these islands is given. It appears that Capt. Boyd Alexander, 
who has recently written two articles on the subject (see Ibis, 
1898, p. 14 and p. 277), has overlooked M. Oustalet's 
ff Description d’especes nouvelles d’Oiseaux provenant des 
iles du Cap Vert” (Ann. Sc. Nat., Zool. ser. 6, xvi. art. v.), 
in which Puffinus edwardsi and Passer brancoensis were de¬ 
scribed as new. Count Salvadori considers the former to be 
the same as Puffinus marice of Alexander, and the latter not 
different from Passer jagoensis. 
98. Salvadori and Festa on the Birds of Ecuador (part 3). 
[Viaggio del Dr. Enrico Festa nell’ Ecuador. Uccelli. Parte 3.

This third part brings to a conclusion Count SalvadorFs 
valuable memoir on Dr. E. Festal splendid collection of the 
birds of Ecuador. We have already (Ibis, 19C0, p. 393) 
noticed the first and second parts, which were devoted to the 
Oscines and Clamatores, and enumerated the 345 species of 
Passeres represented in Dr. Festa's series. In the third part 
the remaining Orders are treated of. They contain examples 
of 268 species, 34 of which are new to the avifauna of 
Ecuador. Four species are described as new to science— 
Chloronerpes rubripileus , Capito cequatorialis , Pulsatrix fas - 
ciativentris , and Penelope cequatorialis. 
In his concluding remarks the author states his views as 
to the physical divisions of Ecuador, which he recognizes as 
four in number—the Occidental, the Inter-Andean, the 
Andean, and the Oriental, and states the principal forms of 
bird-life typical of each of these divisions.
