and Subtropical Zone species were taken here, so that possibly a some- 

 what greater range in altitude may have been involved. Mr. Brown 

 writes that it is " situated on a densely forested slope which extends 

 far down into a deep valley where there is a swiftly moving stream. 

 From this plantation one obtains a wonderful view of the country and 

 the distant Caribbean Sea." 



La Horqueta: — The name applied to a mountain with an altitude of 

 about 7,000 feet, situated on the north side of the San Lorenzo, to 

 which it is joined by a connecting ridge with an elevation of between 

 5,000 and 6,000 feet. It is a heavily forested and very humid region. 

 La Paz. — A locality referred to by Simons in connection with Ptero- 

 glossus torqiiatus. It is situated in the valley of the Rio Cesar, at the 

 western base of the Eastern Andes, and is, therefore, strictly speak- 

 ing, not in the Santa Marta region at all. 



La Tigrcra. — A point on the road from Mamatoco to Cincinnati 

 and San Lorenzo, situated about halfway between Mamatoco and 

 Minca, at an altitude of between 500 and 600 feet. It lies in the valley 

 of a small stream called the Quebra Tamocal, or Tamocal Creek, which 

 is used for irrigation purposes for the land to the south of Mamatoco. 

 This valley is narrow, with broken foothills on either side, and lies 

 near the upper edge of the semi-arid coastal belt. This locality was 

 visited by the junior author on two occasions in August and Septem- 

 ber, 191 1, and worked more thoroughly from April 29 to May 11, 

 1913, and was also visited again on November 6 of the same year. 



Las Nubcs. — A plantation on the northwest slope of La Horqueta, 

 about three miles south of Onaca, where Mr. Smith's party did some 

 collecting in November and December, 1898. While the plantation 

 itself is not over 4,500 feet, many of the birds came from higher eleva- 

 tions, up to 5,500 feet, and such are of course Subtropical Zone 

 forms. The locality has luxuriant mountain forest and clearings. 



Las Taguas. — A point lying on the south slope of the San Lorenzo, 

 at an altitude of about 5,000 feet, in the valley of one of the tributaries 

 of the Rio Cordova. It is a heavily forested, humid section, included 

 in the Subtropical Zone. Collections were made here by the junior 

 author on June 19 and 25-30, 191 1. 



Las Tinajas. — The name of a locality without houses on the open 

 mountain top, near the head of the Quebra Concha, at an altitude of 

 about 2,000 feet, with forest all around. Here Mr. Smith's party se- 

 cured a specimen of Penelope crquatorialis on January 11, 1901.
