1. Santa Maria: City in a bay of the same name, north of the 

 Manzanares River; the bay is backed by salt plains and surrounded 

 by dry hills covered with a scrubby growth (dry-forest species). 

 Considerable tracts of the lower lands are irrigated. 



2. Bonda: Village on the river Manzanares, 7 miles eas,t of Santa 

 Marta. This was our head quarters during the greater part of our 

 stay in Colombia. The village itself is only 150 feet above sea-level, 

 but most collections were made in somewhat higher land. The 

 country is hilly, covered in great part with dry forest with intervals 

 of open grass land in the ridges. A thin line of mountain forest 

 adjoins the river. 



3. Mamatoco: Village on the Manzanares, 2 miles below Bonda; 

 elevation 100 feet; vegetation as at Bonda, but with more scrubby 

 growth on the hills and some small tracts of swamp. Cantilito is a 

 small plantation between the two villages, adjoining Quebra Mojada, a 

 stream and ravine. 



4. El Libano: Plantation i mile south of Mamatoco; elevation 

 150 feet. This must not be confounded with the locality of the same 

 name among the mountains. 



5. Masinga: Valley on the Manzanares, i mile above Bonda. 

 Elevation 250 feet; vegetation as at Bonda. 



6. Masinga Vieja: On the Manzanares, about 4 miles above 

 Bonda, at 600 feet; it is the site of an Indian village, now abandoned. 

 The line of mountain forest along the river has here become broader; 

 the neighboring ridges rise to 1000 feet and are generally open and 

 grassy. 



7. Onaca: Plantation, 18 miles E. S. E. of Santa Marta, at the lower 

 border of the main mountain forest, which here adjoins the open 

 lands. Elevation 2000 feet. 



8. Jiracasaca: Plantation near Onaca, and at about the same 



level. 



9. Las Nubes: Plantation 3 miles south of Onaca, at 450 feet; 

 large clearings in the mountain forest. Alto de Cielo is a locality and 

 clearing near it, at 5000 feet. 



10. Don Amo: Plantation 18 miles east of Santa Marta, in a moun- 

 tain valley, at 1500 feet; large clearings in mountain forest, with 

 adjoining dry forest and open lands. Don Amo Viejo is a locality 



near it. 



11. Cacagualito: Plantation 20 miles east of Santa Marta, 1500 

 feet;' vegetation principally mountain forest, which here extends to a 

 lower level. Jordan is a 'plantation 2 miles further east, in a valley, 

 at 1000 feet. 



12. Taganga: Fishing village on a bay of the same name, 2 

 northeast of Santa Marta, surrounded by low mountain ridges; the 

 country is very dry, with a scrubby growth (dry-forest species) and
