inally all heavily forested, but now with considerable cleared land. At 

 the time of Mr. Smith's visit there was only a small coffee plantation 

 there, where was secured his only specimen of Urubitornis solitarhis, 

 and a few other species. The junior author collected at this point 

 only on August 16, 191 1, and June 17, 1913, securing twenty specimens 

 in all. 



Alguacil. — An elevation south of San Sebastian, referred to by 

 Sievers, and evidently the same as the Mount Chinchicua of Simons, 

 who ascribes to it an elevation of 11,000 feet (10,000 feet on the 

 map). Its slopes are said to be heavily wooded, even on the south side. 



Aucha. — A river on the north slope of the Sierra Nevada, the upper 

 course of which is known as the Rio Macotama, along which are situ- 

 ated the Indian villages of Santa Cruz, San Miguel, Taquina, and 

 Macotama. 



Aracataca.—A village on the river of the same name, on the road 

 between Tucurinca and Fundacion, where Mr. J. Ujhelyi obtained the 

 types of the new forms described by Dr. von Madarasz in 1912 and 



I9I3- 



Arignanij — A river which rises above the village of Pueblo Viejo, 

 near where the southern spur of the Sierra Nevada terminates, and 

 flows southward into the Rio Cesar, of which it is the last affluent. 



Arihucca. — A small village situated but little above sea-level on the 

 Santa Marta Railway, not far from Rio Frio, and on a stream of the 

 same name. Simons collected a few birds here on March 7 and 8, 



1879- 



Arroya do Arenas. — A cattle-ranch and travelers' station on the road 

 from Rio Hacha to Barbacoas, a short distance north of the latter 

 place. It is in the Arid Tropical Zone, just at the edge of the flood- 

 plain of the Rio Camarones. A few birds were collected here on 

 July 25 and 26, 1920. 



Atariquez (or Atanques). — An Indian village of 800 or 1,000 in- 

 habitants, situated on the southern flank of the Sierra Nevada, about 

 fifteen miles northwest of Valle de Upar (not " four miles . . . N.E. " 

 of this point, as erroneously stated in the Ibis, 1879, 204). Simons 

 collected here on February 25 to 27 and March 9, 1878. Most of the 

 species he secured were taken at 2,700 feet, which is the approximate 

 altitude of the village itself, but a few, among them Campyloptcnts 

 phainopepluSj were taken in a mountain gorge at 4,000 feet.
