118 Annals of the Carnegie Museum. 



The junior author collected in this same section at various intervals 

 during the month of April, 1914. 



Mamarongo. — A specimen of Saltator maximus collected by Mr. 

 Brown on March 25, 1899, bears the name of this locality. It is prob- 

 ably somewhere in the Macotama Valley, but its exact position is un- 

 known. 



Mamatoco. — A small village four miles east of Santa Marta. on the 

 Rio Manzanares, along the road to Bonda and Masinga. It is less than 

 fifty feet above sea-level, with low, rocky hills to the north and east, 

 and flat land to the south and west, much of which is under irrigation. 

 Along the river there are forests, swampy in parts ; on the higher 

 land the vegetation is scrubby. Mr. Smith's party did some work 

 here, beginning in February, 1899, and the junior author has also 

 worked the locality at frequent intervals from 191 1 to 191 3. Prac- 

 tically all the specimens bearing this locality name were taken from 

 one to two miles south of the village. 



Manaure. — A coffee-plantation at the foot of the Eastern Andes, at 

 an elevation of 2,700 feet, visited by Simons in May, 1878. In com- 

 mon with La Paz, this locality is not within the Santa Marta region 

 proper, and the records made there are included in the present paper 

 only because they are so closely bound up with the remainder of 

 Simons' records. Two species, Ramphastos ambiguus abbrci'iatus and 

 Sittasomus sylvioides levis, were secured here which have not yet been 

 taken in the Santa Marta region proper. 



Manzanares. — A river in the western coastal section, discharging into 

 the sea at Santa Marta. Along its course are Bonda, Mamatoco, 

 Masinga, and other places frequently referred to in the present paper. 



Marocaso: — A " quiet village of about 150 inhabitants, a day's march 

 from San Juan, on the banks of the Rancheria," 2,000 feet above 

 sea-level, where Simons secured a specimen of Troglodytes tcsseHatus 

 on January 26, 1878. (In Salvin and Godman's paper the name is 

 misspelled "Maricosa.") 



Masinga. — A village on the Rio Manzanares, two miles above Bonda, 

 and presenting the same conditions as that place. Masinga Vieja is 

 the site of an old village, three miles farther up the river. Mr. 

 Smith's expedition collected a few birds at both places. 



Matajira. — A stream which joins the Rio Manzanares near Bonda, 

 coming in on the opposite or north side. The Matajira forms a long
