168 Annals of the Carnegie Museum. 



San Juan. — An extensive tract of land in the eastern part of the 

 main island. The name is also applied, in a more restricted sense, to 

 the old Garcia homestead, the former headquarters of the tract. It 

 is mentioned by Messrs. Bangs and Zappey as a collecting-station. 



Santa Ana. — A tract of land about four miles west of Santa Rosalia, 

 where Mr. Link found a few species of water-birds at a small lagoon 

 on one occasion. 



Santa Barbara. — The name originally applied to a tract of about 

 fifteen thousand acres, lying west of the Rio de las Nuevas, but more 

 recently given to a settlement in its south-central part. As used by 

 Mr. Read, the name refers to the tract, but both the tract and the 

 town were formerly called West McKinley by the promoting land- 

 company. 



Santa Barbara Mountain. — See Cerro de Santa Barbara. 



Santa Ft. — The oldest settlement on the island, situated on the 

 river of the same name, in the east-central part. 



Santa Rosalia. — A town-site in the northeastern part of the island, 

 about halfway between Nueva Gerona and Santa Fe. 



Santa Rosalia Lagoon. — A large fresh-water lake, situated a short 

 distance northwest of Columbia, close to the Caballos Mountains. 

 The water is shallow, and during the dry season the lake is of course 

 much reduced in extent. The shores are muddy, and support a rank 

 growth of grasses and sedges. Several species of water-birds were 

 encountered here by Mr. Zappey and Mr. Link. 



Santa Sevilla. — This locality, mentioned by Messrs. Bangs and 

 Zappey, cannot be found on anj^ map consulted. Possibly it is an 

 error for " Santa Cecilia." 



Sierra de Caballos {Caballos Mountains). — A mountain ridge in the 

 northern part of the main island, east of Nueva Gerona, running north 

 and south, parallel with the Rio Sierra de Casas, and terminating 

 in a headland on the coast known as Punta del Colombo. For a fuller 

 description see page 149. 



Sierra de Casas ( Casas Mountains). — A ridge lying west of the town 

 of Nueva Gerona, and about two and one-half miles in length, from 

 north to south. See description on page 149. 



Sierra de la Canada ( Canada Mountains) . — An elevated ridge in the 

 southwestern part of the main island, rising to a height of nine 

 hundred and eighty-five feet {fide O. E. Jennings). For a further 

 description see page 149. Visited by both Mr. Read and Mr. Link.
