Valparaiso. — The old Spanish name for the hacienda on the west 

 slope of the San Lorenzo now kiiown as Cincinnati. In the present 

 paper the older name has been retained to designate specimens col- 

 lected at this point by Mr. Smith's expedition. (See Cincinnati.) 



Valle de Upar. — (Often incorrectly spelled "Valle Dupar").. A 

 town in the lower valley of the Rio Guatapuri, 700 feet above the sea. 

 " On the northwest the snowy regions of the Nevada are plainly 

 visible, while on the east and southeast the wooded slopes of the 

 Andes rise like a wall." Simons, from whom this quotation is taken, 

 spent considerable time in this region in 1878 and 1879, if one may 

 judge correctly from the dates attached to his specimens as given by 

 Salvin and Godman. Valle de Upar is also notable as the type-lo- 

 cality of Furnarius agnatus and Ortalida ruficrissa, obtained by Mr. 

 G. Joad, F. Z. S., in 1870. 



" Yista Nieve." — The name of the hacienda or plantation of the 

 junior author, situated on the south flank of the Cerro Quemado, 

 SQUtheast of Cincinnati, at an altitude of 4,000 feet. 



List of Species. 



As in previous papers on neotropical birds by the authors, the 

 classification here adopted is that set forth by Mr. Ridgway in his 

 " Birds of North and Middle America," but the actual sequence of the 

 species has been reversed, so as to bring it into accord with present- 

 day usage, while the groups not treated by that author have been ar- 

 ranged accordingly. Such species as do not seem to be properly 

 authenticated as birds of this region are inserted in their proper places, 

 but are printed in smaller type, and without a number prefixed. For 

 reasons stated elsewhere, the records by earlier authors have not been 

 accepted unless supported by later authentic work. The references 

 under each species are strictly confined to those bearing upon the re- 

 gion as here restricted, and all of them have been personally verified 

 by the senior author. In every case the page quoted is that where the 

 name occurs. Different spellings of the same name, as a rule, do not 

 appear under separate heads. 



The localities are not specified under every reference, being covered 

 by the expression •" Santa Marta references and localities.'' The 

 names of localities are given in corrected form ; in the list of specimens 

 under each species they appear usually, but not invariably, in the order
