Pueblo Viejo. — A village of Colombians situated on the north slope 

 of the Sierra Nevada, at an altitude of 2,000 feet. It is nearly a two 

 days' journey with pack-animals from the coast at Dibulla, and is just 

 at the edge of the " Indian country," very few if any Indians living 

 below this point. The whole country below the village, to the east- 

 ward, is still forested, except for occasional small clearings or tracts 

 of second-growth. To the eastward lies the Chirua Valley, still 

 wooded in many parts, while to the west and north little except grass- 

 covered mountains can be seen. Mrs Brown collected at this point 

 during the latter half of March, 1898. He gives the altitude of the 

 place as 8,000 feet, which is of course a mistake, since San Antonio, 

 farther up the valley, is only 3,700 feet above the sea. Many Sub- 

 tropical Zone birds are recorded by him from this place, and the ex- 

 perience of the junior author at this same locality in March, 1914. 

 would seem to indicate that some of the forms of this zone reach a 

 lower level here than elsewhere in the Santa .Marta region. 



Pueblo Viejo. — An Indian village in the southern Sierra Nevada, 

 on the trail from Valle de Upar to San Sebastian, mentioned by 

 Simons. Mr. Brown also passed through it, but did no collecting at 

 this point. (Dr. Allen, in his list of localities, has confused this 

 Pueblo Viejo with the place of the same name on the northern slope 

 of the mountains.) 



Punto Caiman (or Playa . Caiman) . — A point on the coast of the 

 Isla de Salamanca, on the northwest corner of the Cienaga Grande. 

 Water birds of various kinds are abundant here, while several species 

 of small land birds inhabit the mangroves and shrubbery. The most 

 abundant inhabitants of all are the omnipresent mosquito and sand-fly, 

 which make the life of a collector a misery at all hours of the day 

 and night. The junior author collected here from September 27 to 

 October 2, 1913, and trusts that his visit will not have to be repeated. 



Quebra^^ Concha. — See Concha. 



Quebra (or Quebrada) Tamocal. — An affluent of the Rio Manza- 

 nares, rising very close to the Rio Gaira at Minca. It drains a narrow 

 valley, the upper part of which has steep and broken slopes, but below 

 La Tigrera.it widens out considerably. Its valley and slopes are 

 covered with semi-arid woodland and savanna, except in the immediate 

 vicinity of the stream, where the trees are large and dense. 



22 A contraction for " Quebrada."
