Abstract
For many years I have been interested in the zoo-geography of the Andes. While in Ecuador in 1938–39 I sent to Dr. Clarence H. Kennedy a few notes about the stations occupied by William Clarke-Macintyre in the Valley of the Rio Pastaza. Dr. Kennedy suggested that upon my return I write a longer paper covering as many of the stations that have been collecting points for entomologists in Ecuador as I could list. I here present that paper. It is not complete but it does cover a great many of the localities that to most students of zoology are merely funny names. I have tried to assign most of the places to some faunal zone. Where such information is omitted it is because I do not know what conditions prevail at the station and hesitate to guess. Ecuador is full of paradoxes. I hope I have not made any errors of commission, I know that I have made errors of omission. I will be grateful for any additional or correctional information that readers care to send me. Eastern Ecuador is one of the least known areas of its size in the Western Hemisphere.
