MOUNTAINS AFFECT BIRD LIFE
Andes Said to Be Responsible for Num
ber of Species Found in
South America.
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.
