The richness of South* American bird-life Is due to tile presence of the Andes more than to any other one thing. It Is the nbsence of great mountain chains In Africa, which ac counts for the comparatively small numbers of species of birds In that continent. From base to summit, four distinct zones of life—tropical, sub tropical, temperate and alpine—are found In the higher Andes, and each zone lias species which are confined to It. It Is not only the height of the An des which afreets bird life. In places, for hundreds of miles, this gigantic range may appear as two or tln*ee chains, each not less than 10,000 ot 11.000 feet In height, and these cll- nmtlc walls are as Impassable to th« species living in the tropical or sub tropical vulle; s they Inclose as though they extended to the zenith. Isola- tion Is. therefore, added to the fac tors of climate ami sedentariness In the making of the species, nnd the three combined have produced a great er variety of bird life than is found In any area of similar extent In the world. The American museum of nat ural history Inaugurated in 1911 a bi ological survey of the Andean region with particular reference to Its bird life. As a result of the collections and field studies made, the museum Is now- In possession of large col lee- Hons nnd data from the more north- ern part of the chain. ———--------- you for your patronage requesting its c< ntinu- you Happiness, Health Prosperity A A Co-operative Finan c i al Organizad ni, Under State Supervision and Control 0 0 Would you he s itinfied with on your saving! if you had a good irst Mortgage on improv'd 'Jteal Estate for Security?
