4. Tatarenda, near Caiza, in the Bolivian Chaco, on the 

 border between the tropical forest and the "dry" woods. 

 The latter consist of low trees, which shed their foliage 

 during the dry season, so that the ground is then thickly 

 covered with withered leaves. In the woods there are many 

 open places, which are marshy during the rainy season, but 

 are afterwards dry and covered with grass. At one place 

 there is a forest of palms (Copernicia serrifera) extending 

 over an area about five kilometres in length, but elsewhere 

 no palms are to be seen. 



5. Colon ia or Fortin Crevaux, Bolivian Chaco, on the 

 Pilcomayo. — Along the river are dense woods of Salix 

 humboldtiana and of a tree called " bubu " belonging- to the 

 Composite, besides a number of smaller trees and shrubs. 

 In some places there grows a gigantic Phragmites. The river 

 forms a number of small lakes. 



[These localities are mostly shown in the map on p. 443, 

 which has been kindly lent to us by the Royal Geographical 

 Society. It was prepared to illustrate Baron Erland 

 Nordenskiold's account of his expedition. See Geogr. 

 Journ. xxi. p. 513, May 1903.— Edd.] 



II. Birds of Quinta, Province of Jujuy, Argentine 

 Republic 



When the expedition was at work at Quinta, Mr. G. 

 von Hofsten had not joined the party, so that the specimens 

 collected were few in number. Most of them were shot 

 in or near the Laguna del Sauzal, a small lake surrounded 

 by luxuriant tropical forest. The species met with may, 

 however, be considered characteristic of the fauna of this 

 tract. They were as follows : — 



1. Gallinula galeata {Licht.). 



2. Aramides chiricote ( Vieillot). 



3. Larus cirrhocephalus Vieillot. 



4. Vauellus chilensis ( Molina)*. 



5. - Kgialitis collaris {Vieillot). 



6. Himantopus melanuras Vieillot. 



7. Totanus flavipes (Gm.). 



8. Parra ja§ana Linn. 



9. Plegadis guarauna {Latham). 



10. Cairiaa naoschata {Linn.).
