Bahro Blanco. — (Alt. 7200 ft.) A station in the northern part of the Central 

 Andes east of Sta. Elena, at the base of a ridge bordering a well-cultivated 

 plateau. The original forest seems to have disappeared. (No. 39.) 

 Expedition No. 8; November 25-29, 1914; 88 specimens. 



Baudo Mts. — A range on the Pacific coast west of Quibd6. *Our 86 specimens from 

 these mountains were all collected by Mrs. Kerr, none at a higher altitude than 

 2500 feet. The exact locality is not stated. Collections from the summit of 

 this range are greatly to be desired. 



Boca de Chimi. — A place on the lower Magdalena River two days sail above Cala- 

 mar. (No. 124.) 



Expedition No. 8; November 6, 1914; 10 specimens. 



BogotjC.— (Lat. 4° 35', long. 74° 10'; alt. 8750 ft.) Capital of Colombia situated 

 on the Savanna of the same at the foot of the mountains which enclose the 

 Savanna on the east. For about eighty years it has been the shipping point for 

 birds' skins very few of which seem to have been taken near the city itself. The 

 Savanna, indeed, has evidently been but little worked by the native collectors. 

 I shot the types of three new forms in or near the Suba marshes, within sight of 

 the city, in one morning, and the types of two more have since been secured 

 there for us by Hermano Apoliaar Maria. The surrounding country is com- 

 posed largely of pastures and planted fields, with some marshes, chiefly during 

 the rains. There are no trees except the introduced eucalyptus. Bogotd as a 

 definite locahty is referred to as Savanna at Bogotd. (No. 179.) 

 Expedition No. 7; February 14^18, 1913; 80 specimens. 



BogotX. — A generahzed regional name applied to native-made skins shipped from 

 the city of Bogotd. By far the greater number of these skins are secured within 

 the area lying between the Magdalena Valley and the Uanos at the base of the 

 Andes on the east, and boundaries of the Department of Cundinamarca at the 

 north and south (but see further details under "Bogota collections'' in the 

 Review of Colombian Ornithology). 



BoNDA.— (Lat. 11° 17', long. 74° 2'; alt. 150-250 ft.) Seven miles east of Santa 

 Marta on the Rio Manzanares. Smith's principal station. (No. 141.) 



Btjcaramanga.— (Lat. 6° 52', long. 73° 34'; alt. 3000 ft.) A city in the Eastern 

 Andes situated on a savanna and surrounded by mountains. Berlepsch has 

 reported on a collection of native-made skins from this region, and Wyatt 

 collected some specimens here. (No. 108.) 



Btjenaventtjea. — (Lat. 3° 53', long. 77° 10'; alt. 0). The principal port on the 

 Pacific coast of Colombia at the head of Buenaventura Bay, 14 miles from the 

 sea. The surroundings are low and wooded, the shores being everywhere lined 

 with mangroves. Few specimens appear to have been collected here by the 

 naturalists who have worked in this region. (No. 19.) 

 Expedition No. 1; March 23-28, 1911; 35 specimens. 



Bubna Vista. — (Alt. 4500 ft.) A posada on the crest of the most eastern ridge of 

 the Eastern Andes on the trail from Bogotd to Villavicencio and some 3000 feet 

 above the last-named town. To the east the country descends abruptly to the 

 llanos; to the west, to the Rio Negro. Both slopes are heavily wooded with 

 virgiii forest broken by clearings. The region is a favorite one for native col- 

 lectors and many so-caUed 'Bogotd,' skins have been taken here. (No. 165.) 

 Expedition No. 7; Feb. 28-Mch. 15, 1913; 408 specunens. 



Bttenavista. — (Alt. 1200 ft.) A station in the humid Tropical Zone in the Depart-
