List of Localities Referred to by Simons, Broiun, Smith, Carriker, cvid the 

 University of Michigan Expeditions. 



Alto de las Minus. I*oint on the trail between Valencia de Jesas and 

 Fundacion, where it crosses the lower extremity of the great southwest 

 spur ridge of the Sierra Nevada. Probably not more than 600 feet above 

 sea-level, and three days' journey from Fiuidacion. 



ArigiMni. A cattle ranch of considerable extent which has been opened 

 up on the Rio Ariguani at the point where the Valle de Upar trail crosses 

 it. It is in the heart of the great lowland forest^ about thirty miles south 

 of Fundacion, and at no great distance from the lower edge of the foothills. 



Aqua Duke. Plantation on San Lorenzo, altitude about 3,000 feet. 



Arroyo de Arenas. A cattle ranch and regular stopping place for pack 

 trains and travellers journeying between Riohacha and Fonseca. It is a 

 long, hard day's march from Riohacha, and the first point at which good 

 water and forage can be obtained. It lies at the edge of the flood-plain of 

 the Rio Camarones (called Barbacoas here) and is probably about 500 feet 

 above sea-level. Outside of the flood-plain forest the vegetation consists 

 of low woodland of the dry forest type, acacias and cacti being conspicuous. 



Badillo. Once a flourishing little town, but now a miserable collection 

 of huts, situated on the trail between Fonseca and San Juan de Cesar, and 

 near the Badillo River. To the southwest of the town lies the heavy wood- 

 land of the river flood-plain, while to the north the vegetation consists of 

 drv acacia-like scrub and cacti, interspersed with patches of open savanna- 

 like areas. The foothills are but a few miles distant. 



Barbacoas. A tiny hamlet at the crossing of the Rio Barbacoas, about 

 two miles south of Arroyo de Arenas. 



Bolivar. A small farm and lowland station of the Santa Marta Cofifee 

 Company, from which pack mules start for the hacienda Cincinnati. It is 

 about five and a half miles from Santa Marta, a mile and a half from 

 Mamatoco, and about 100 feet above sea-level. The prevailing vegetation, 

 outside of the irrigated areas, consists of low, semi-arid woodland, acacias 

 and cacti. The nearby Jamonaca Creek Valley is rather heavily wooded and 

 offers good collecting ground. 



CacaguaUto. A small farm, now abandoned, at which Mr. Smith col- 

 lected. It lies on the trail between Bonda and the north coast, by way of 

 the Quebrada Jordan and the Rio Piedras. It is between 800 and 1,000 

 feet above sea-level, on the ridge separating the valley of the Matajiro and 

 Jordan, and lies in the foot-hills section of the semi-arid coast belt. 



Camperucho. A small settlement of scattered houses on the trail 

 between Valencia de Jesus and Alto de las Minas, a hard day's journey 

 from Valencia. It is in a rolling, hilly region, on a remnant of the same 

 ridge as 7\lto de las Minas, and not more than 400 to 500 feet above sea- 

 level. It is largely a region of savannas and scattered clumps of scrubby 

 woodland.
