fine collecting field, and has been visited by all naturalists who have come 

 to Santa Marta. The plantation is about nineteen miles from Santa Marta. 

 and is reached by the road leading out through Mamatoco, Tigrera and 

 Minca. 



Concha. A small bay southeast of Santa Marta, also the short creek 

 and valley emptying into it. There is a small stock farm there belonging 

 to a resident of Santa Marta. It is the first indentation of the coast beyond 

 Taganga, and the second from Santa Marta Bay. 



Copei. A stopping place for travellers and pack trains on the trail 

 between Ariguani and Camperucho, about fifteen miles south of Ariguani. 

 It is in the heavy lowland forest. 



Corasones. A little hamlet near Valle de Upar, between that town and 

 Badilla, and not far from the Rio Guatipuri. It lies just between the Guati- 

 puri flood-plain forest and the dry scrub of the open country. 



Dihiilla. A squalid village on the coast about half-way between Santa 

 Marta and Riohacha, and about three miles east of the point where the trail 

 leaves the coast for the Sierra Nevada, by way of Pueblo Vie jo and San 

 Miguel. 



Donama. A small farm, now nearly abandoned, lying on the divide 

 between the head of the Matagiro Valley and the Rio Piedras, at an eleva- 

 tion of about 1,500 feet. It is on the trail between Bonda and the planta- 

 tion Las Vegas. It is just between the "dry forest" area of the Santa Marta 

 coast belt and the humid forest of the north slopes of the Sierras, the valley 

 of the Rio Piedras being largely in the latter zone. 



Don Diego. An old plantation (now practically abandoned) belonging 

 to a French company, and situated on the north coast at the mouth of the 

 Don Diego River, one of the largest rivers draining the north slopes. There 

 is a trail leading to it from Santa Marta, going out by way of Mamatoco, 

 Bonda, Calabaso, Jordan, thence down the Rio Piedras to the coast, and 

 then following the beach. This trail is almost impassable through disuse 

 and lack of repair. The place is much more easily reached by sea from 

 Santa Marta. The region around Don Diego is heavily forested, has a 

 heavy rainfall and is very rich in animal life. 



Donjaca. A flag station and passing point for trains on the Santa 

 Marta Railway between Gaira and Cienega. It is on the coast, and lies in 

 the semi-arid coast belt of scrub and cacti. 



El Libano. A name used by Mr. Smith for a point on the northwest 

 slope of San Lorenzo with an altitude given by him of 6,000 feet. It is in 

 the upper part of what is now known as the plantation of La Victoria, 

 which adjoins Cincinnati on the east. Conditions are practically the same 

 as around Cincinnati. 



Bl Lorenzo (see San Lorenzo). 



Bl Mammon. A locality at which Mr. Brown collected in the Sierra 

 Nevada, and given by Dr. Allen as having an altitude of 8,000 feet. It is 

 on the south slopes of the Sierras, a short distance above San Sebastian.
