The location,topography, climate, and vegetation of the area are discussed. An annotated list of 241 species arranged on the basis of their ethology is given. A discussion of the nesting behaviour of the community shows how the diversity of the ethology of such a large number of sympatric species results in their ecological displacement. Gives some indication of the phylogenetic pattern leading to this diversity.
