The Ecuadorean owl is the Bubo nigrescens.
Several lines were also projected, two to penetrate the Ecuadorean montana.
At the junction of 2 D the Cauches with that river, that Ecuadorean line descends the Chinchipe to the Maranon, and the Peruvian ascends to a point where it is intersected by a line following the eastern Cordillera northward to the head-waters of the Caqueta, or Japura, which forms the northern boundary down to the Brazilian frontier.
In 1903 there were encounters between small bodies of Peruvian and Ecuadorean troops on the disputed frontier.
Cayambe, or Cayembi, the second highest peak of the Ecuadorean Andes, has the noteworthy distinction of standing very nearly on the equator.
