descending the north slope. A specimen of Diglossa aterrima, how- 

 ever, dated June 30, 1878, may have been taken on his first trip from 

 San Sebastian, to the Sierra, on which, he failed to get across. The 

 junior author has also used the locality "Sierra Nevada" on the labels 

 of his specimens in a restricted sense for want of a better designation. 

 His numbers from 10,762 to 10,840, between March 19 and April 5, 

 1912, werethus labelled with the altitude added; they were all taken 

 on the crest or near it on both slopes of the ridge which connects the 

 San Lorenzo with the main mass of the Sierra Nevada, just behind 

 the former; where conditions are the same, namely, virgin, unbroken, 

 Subtropical Zone forest. 



Snozv Peaks. — See Paramo de Chiruqua. 



Summit Lake.- — See Paramo de Chiruqua. 



Taganga. — (Misspelled "Tayanga" in Dr. Allen's list). A fish- 

 ing village situated at the head of the bay of the same name, being 

 the next indentation on the coast to the north of the harbor of Santa 

 Marta. The coast at this point is generally rocky and precipitous, 

 with numerous caves; back of the village there are rocky hills running 

 up to 500 feet. The character of the vegetation is the same as at 

 Santa Marta. The name occurs on the label of a specimen of Cross- 

 ophthalmus gymnophthalmos sent in by Mr. Smith. 



Taquina. — A small Indian hamlet on the fight bank (as one ascends) 

 of the Rio Macotama, between San Miguel and Macotama, at an alti- 

 tude of 6,000 ^^ feet. It is situated on a large grass-covered plateau 

 just above the junction of the Rio Macotama with a small stream 

 coming in from the north, which the Indians call "Siquaiin" (pro- 

 nounced "Se-ki-en"). Its valley is narrow, with abruptly rising 

 grass-clad slopes on either side. The intention of the junior author 

 was to ascend this stream to its source, said by the Indians to be a 

 lake lying off in the direction of the Snow Peaks, but this intention 

 had to be foregone for lack of time. A few birds were collected at 

 this point on March 29, April 6 and 9, 1914. Mr. Brown, oddly 

 enough, does not use the name at all. 



Templado. — An Indian plantation on the east slope of the southern 

 Sierra Nevada, lying at an elevation of 5,700 feet, about seven miles 

 northeast of San Sebastian. When Mr. Brown had his headquarters 



23 7,021 feet, according to Sievers.^W. E. C. T.
