formerly located about two miles above Pueblo Viejo, on the north 

 slope of the Sierra Nevada, at an altitude of 3,700 feet. It was de- 

 stroyed by the Conservative army in the last Colombian revolution, 

 because the Indians had taken up arms with the Liberals. Nothing 

 remains today of this village, and its inhabitants were scattered among 

 the Indian hamlets higher up in the Sierra. San Antonio is the type- 

 locality of Trochilus floriceps, described by Gould in 1853, and Simons 

 refers to it under the head of Rhamphocoelus dimidiatus, which he 

 took there August 28, 1878. Mr. Brown also did some collecting at 

 this locality, in the spring of 1899. 



San Francisco. — A small- Indian hamlet in the valley of the Rio 

 Ancha, a few miles above Pueblo Viejo. The lower mountain slopes 

 on both sides are bare of forest, those on the right-hand side, indeed, 

 being very precipitous and rocky. On the left-hand side the higher 

 slopes are still wooded for a considerable distance. The locality ap- 

 pears among those at which Mr. Brown collected in the spring of 

 1898, hut the altitude he assigns for it, 6,000 feet, is certainly entirely 

 too high, although it appears to lie within the Subtropical Zone. Prob- 

 ably 4,000 feet would be nearer the truth. 



San Jose. — " A new Indian village, built in 1874 by order of the 

 Government, on the banks of the Guatapuri, at an elevation of 5,000 

 feet, is wholly composed of Indians, about 120 in number." Simons 

 collected a few birds here on March 14 and 15, 1879, and again on 

 June 8 and 9 of the same year, obtaining on his second visit the type- 

 specimen of Basileuterus conspicillatus. 



San Juan de Cesar. — A village near the head of the Rio Cesar Val- 

 ley, along the road from Fonseca to Valle de Upar.

San Lorenzo {de Santa Marta). — The name of an immense semi- 

 isolated mountain mass, lying to the northwest of the main Sierra 

 Nevada range, with which it is connected by a ridge having a minimum 

 altitude of about 5,000 feet. The whtile mountain (except the western 

 end), down to the lower edges of the foothills, is covered with forest, 

 heavier and more humid on the east and south exposures. The crest 

 is in the form of a sharp ridge running nearly west and east for 

 several miles, and then swinging off to the northward. The eastern 

 part of the ridge attains a height of 9,300 feet, while the western end, 

 known as the Cerro Quemado, is a thousand feet less. Almost all the
