Amphip.iaxs and Reptilks of Santa ^Iarta 39 



in the bay of the same name, close to Santa Marta harbor and only separated 

 from it by a low range of hills. Name used by Smith. 



Tanibor Ridge (see Cerros de Caracas). This was the name used by 

 the writer on his labels before the correct name of the locality had been 

 ascertained. 



Taquina. A small Indian hamlet nearly midway between San Miguel 

 and Macotama. on the west bank of the river, on a beautiful large bench 

 several hundred feet above the river bed. Mr. Brown does not use the 

 name, which is rather strange. Just below the village a small mountain 

 stream enters the Macotama from the west, called by the Indians Se-kai-en, 

 which I meant to explore, but was not able to do so for lack of time. It 

 evidently rises in the snow, and has a lake at its source, according to the 

 Indians. 



Ticrra Nneva. A point on the Rio Aracataca about five or six miles 

 above its mouth at the Cienega Grande. It is the first high ground met 

 with in ascending the river — that is, ground that is not submerged by the 

 overflow from the Cienega during the period of high water. It is a region 

 of heavy humid forest with much tangled undergrowth. 



Tigrera or La Tigrcra. A point on the road from Santa ]\Iarta to the 

 hacienda Cincinnati, about seven miles above Mamatoco. The new cart 

 road extending from Mamatoco up towards San Lorenzo has now reached 

 a point about four miles above La Tigrera, in the valley of the Jamonaca. 

 Tigrera is about 600 feet above sea-level and lies in the lower reaches of 

 the foothills, in the narrow valley of the Jamonaca. 



Trojas dc Catdca. A small and very unique fishing village on the edge 

 of Cienega Grande at the mouth of the Rio Aracataca. The houses are built 

 on piles driven into the mud over four to five feet of water. The inhabit- 

 ants subsist entirely by fishing, selling the fish in the towns of Cienega and 

 Barranquilla. It is reached only by boat from Cienega or Pueblo Vie jo. 



Tiicurinca. A banana plantation belonging to the United Fruit Com- 

 pany, on the Santa Marta Railway between Sevilla and Aracataca, at which 

 the writer collected. 



Valencia de Jesus. A small, wretched-looking village, surrounded by 

 second-growth scrub, about twenty-five miles southwest of Valle de Upar 

 on the main trail which encircles the Sierras on the south side. It is in the 

 heart of a considerable forest belt. Simons mentions this locality, while 

 the L'niversity of Michigan Expedition did considerable collecting at Man- 

 zanares, about six miles southwest of it. 



Valparaiso (see Cincinnati). 



Valle de Upar (often spelled Valle Dupar, though the correct spelling 

 is that given at the margin). The principal town of the lowland district 

 between the Sierra Nevada and the eastern Andes. It is on the Rio Guata- 

 puri, a short distance above its confluence with the Rio Cesar, and is one 

 of the oldest settlements of Colombia, having been established by the Span- 

 iards shortly after the foiuiding of Santa Marta, early in the sixteenth cen-
