arrival at Santa Marta he was laid up with a nearly fatal illness, 

 and for the last year his work has been almost wholly suspended 

 in consequence of the disturbed condition of the region, due to a 

 violent insurrection in his immediate neighborhood. Although 

 further shipments are expected from Mr. Smith, nothing has been 

 received from him for many months, and it has therefore seemed 

 desirable to place on record the results of his first shipments of 

 birds, numbering, as already stated, nearly 3000 specimens, and 

 to collate them with the published results of other collectors in 

 this limited area, as recorded in the following papers :

Only two collections of birds of any considerable importance 

 appear to have been made in the Santa Marta region of Colombia 

 prior to the Smith collection. The first of these, made by Simons 

 in 1878-79, was reported upon by Salvin and Godman in 1879- 

 80, as above noted, the number of species recorded being 160. 

 (The number of specimens in the collection is not stated.) Ap- 

 parently two ' other species were overlooked, or not reported in 

 the Salvin-Godman paper, as shown by the record of the Salvin- 



1 Doleromyia fallax (Bourc.) and Heliochera rubrocristnta (d'Orb. & Lafr.).
