1. Allen on Birds from Santa Marta, Colombia. 



[Supplementary Notes on Birds collected in the Santa Marta District^ 

 Colombia, by Herbert A. Smith, with Descriptions of Nests and Eggs. 

 By J. A. Allen. Bull. A. M. Nat. Hist. vol. xxi. pp. 275-295 (1905).] 



In 1900 Dr. Allen published in the ' Bulletin of the 

 American Museum of Natural History ' (xiii. p. 115; see 

 1 Ibis/ 1901, p. 319) a list of the birds collected by Mr. Herbert 

 Smith in the Santa Marta district of Colombia. A more 

 recent shipment received from the same district, also made 

 by Mr. Smith, contained about 350 bird-skins and a 

 large collection of nests and eggs. With these the total 

 number of species now recorded from Santa Marta is 

 392. The present paper contains additions and corrections 

 to the former list, and descriptions of the nests and eggs 

 forwarded by Mr. Smith, as already mentioned. Only those 

 identified in a "fairly positive" manner are dealt with.
