The four parts now published have treated the fossil record of all but one of the orders of birds (Passeriformes). They cover 132 families (38 extinct and 94 living), 744 genera (404 paleogenera and 340 neogenera), and 1,522 species (898 paleospecies and 624 neospecies). The following are proposed new taxa of ftssil birds: family Zygodactylidae for 7*godactylus Ballmann in order Piciformes; subfamily Apopempsidae and genus Apopempsis for Musophaga meini Ballmann in family Musophagidae, genus Eostfix for Protostrix mimica Wetmore in family Protostrigidae. Aegiatornis leehnardti Gaillard is emended to Aegiatornis teehhardti, as the specific name honors Prof. F. Leenhardt of the University ofToulouse. In the linear sequence the Cuculiformes precede the Psittaciformes to bring the parrots next to the owJs, with which tbey share many characteristics. On grounds of priority the following subfamily names replace those in Peters' Check-List: Ptilinopinae (Selby, 1835) for Treroninae Gray, 1840; Coc- cyginae (Swainson, 1837) for Phaenicophaeinae (Gray, 1840); Geococcyginae (Reichenow, 1882) fo Neomorphinae Shelley, 1891, Atelornithinae Bonaparte, 1854, for Brachypteractinae Sharpe, 1892. 1 The author is Professor of Biological Sciences and Zoology at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Manuscript received 1 April 1970 -Ed.

Tour Report Tour Participants: Marcus John (leaders) with six Naturetrek clients Summary The Gambia is an ideal destination for a relaxed holiday and offers a great introduction to the diverse and colourful birdlife of Africa. We spent the week at the stunning Mandina Lodges, a unique place that lies on a secluded mangrove-lined tributary of the mighty River Gambia. The lodges are situated next to the creek and within the Makasuto Forest, which comprises over a thousand acres of pristine, protected forest. Daily walks took us out through the woodland and into the rice fields and farmland beyond, where a great range of birds and butterflies can be found. It was sometimes hard to know where to look as parrots, turacos, rollers and bee-eaters all vied for our attention! Guinea Baboons are resident in the forest and were very approachable; Green Vervet Monkeys were seen nearly every day and we also found a group of long-limbed Patas Monkeys, the fastest primates in the world! Boat trips along the creek revealed a diverse selection of waders, kingfishers and other waterbirds; fourteen species of raptor were also seen during the week.

P.3 and Akpan, M2 1Department of Biological Sciences, Bingham University, P.M.B. 005, Karu, Nasarawa State, Nigeria Email:[email protected] 2Federal University of Technology, Yola, Nigeria, Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management. 3University of Maiduguri, Borno, Nigeria, Department of Biological Sciences ABSTRACT The diversity of frugivorous bird species in relation to tree species diversity was investigated in Designated and Reserved Green Areas of Abuja, Nigeria. The study estimated, investigated and examined trees species and avian frugivore in terms of their diversity. Point-Centered Quarter Method (PCQM) was used for vegetation analysis while random walk and focal observation was used for bird frugivore identification and enumeration. data was collected from six locations coinciding with the local administrative areas within the Federal Capital Territory. These were, the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Abaji, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje and Kwali. AMAC is designated as urban while the remaining five sites are designated as sub-urban. The highest number of fruit tree species was encountered in AMAC (30), followed by Abaji (29) while 27, 25, 19 and 11 fruit tree species were encountered in Kwali, Bwari Gwagwalada and Kuje respectively. The similarity or otherwise dissimilarity in fruit tree species composition between each pair of the enumerated sites showed Gwagwalada and Kuje as the most similar, and the similarity or otherwise dissimilarity in frugivorous bird species composition between each pair of the enumerated showed higher species similarity between the AMAC and each of the other sites, and between each pair of the sites than that of the fruit trees in the respective sites.

RO•WER TUE family Caprimulgidae consistsof about 73 speciesof nocturnal and crepuscularbirds commonly called nightjars from their persistent penetratingnocturnal calls. They are divided into. two subfamilies,the Chordeilinae,a group of 8 New World species,and the Caprimulginae,a group of approximately65 speciesoccurring in most of the warmer land areasof the world. The chordeilinesare largelycrepuscular in their habits, somespecies being active on overcastor, occasionally,sunny days; most of the caprimulginesare much more nocturnal than the chordeilines.The Chuck-will's-widow(Caprimulgus carolinensis) is the largestmember of its genus,which contains some 40. African, Eurasian,and New World species (Peters, 1940). It is a commonbreeding bird of the deciduousforests of the southern third of eastern North America, and winters largely in the Antilles, Central America,and the southernmostareas of eastern North America. The sequenceof molt has been describedfor several African and Eurasian caprimulgines(Verheyen, 1956; Stresemannand Stresemann, 1966) and partially describedfor the chordeilineCommon Nighthawk (Chordeilesminor) by Selander(1954).

  • Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Fact Sheet
    Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Fact Sheet Common Name: Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Scientific Name: Campephilus principalis Wild Status: Critically Endangered - heavily believed to be extinct Habitat: Pine Forests, thick hardwood swamp areas Country: Southeastern United States, and a subspecies native to Cuba Shelter: Trees Life Span: Unknown - some speculate up to 20 years or more Size: Weighs about 1 pound on average, total length roughly 20 inches, with a typical 30 inch wingspan Details The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is a very rare bird, native to the Southeast of the United States. They are one of the largest woodpeckers in the world, and noticeable by their distinct black and white pattern and red plumage near their head. Primarily due to habitat loss, as well as hunting to a lesser extent, the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is classified as critically endangered. However, many associations and biologists believe the species to be functionally extinct, as true sightings and evidence of living specimens has not been published in over 10 years. The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is believed to mate for life like many birds, and both parents would work together to create a nest for the young. Much of the woodpecker's diet consists of larvae and insects, as well as seeds and fruit. Cool Facts • They are sexually dimorphic - only the males have the red plumage on their head. • Four distinct vocal calls were noted in literature, and two of these calls were recorded in the 1930s. • While many unconfirmed reports still come in, this species was assessed as extinct in 1994. However, this was later altered to critically endangered on the belief that the species might have relocated from their native habitat.

Its primary purpose was to introduce the concept of a single-donkey ploughing system using a high-lift harness (i.e. one with a steep angle of pull -about 300 in contrast to the customary angle of 200 or less) in conjunction with a lightweight plough. This system offers reduced draught and greater efficiency compared with more 'conventional' systems. A high-lift harness and two lightweight ploughs of slightly differing constructions were taken to Bolivia for demonstration and evaluation for potential manufacture by CIFEMA. They performed convincingly, generating considerable interest in single animal working. Enthusiasm was such that on the first working day a horse was fitted with a high-lift harness and put to work with the donkey plough, confirming that the high-lift concept is equally applicable to horse use.
