1917.] Chapman, Distribution of Bird-life in Colombia. 643 



ment of Narifio, southwestern Colombia. Not to be confused with Buena Vista 

 above Villavicencio near the eastern base of the Eastern Andes. (No. 30.) 

 Expedition No. 6; Oct. 1-7, 1912; 108 specimens. 



Cacagualito. — (Alt. 1500 ft.) In the Santa Marta region, twenty miles east of 

 Santa Marta; "vegetation chiefly mountain forest." Visited by the Smith 

 Expedition. 



Calamah.— (Alt., near sea-level.) A town on the lower Magdalena River in the 

 Arid Coastal Zone. It is surrounded by open savannas with some chapparal- 

 like growth and occasional marshes. Birds are exceedingly abundant; our col- 

 lections were made while the steamer stopped to discharge and load at the pier 

 of the railway line for Carthagena. (No. 128.) 



Expedition Nos. 1, 7, and 8; June 3, 1911; Jan. 21, 22, 1913; Nov. 4, 1914; 

 112 specimens. 



Caldas. — (Alt. 2560 ft.) A small town on the railway from Buenaventura to Cali, 

 in the Caldas basin on the upper Dagua River. The immediately surrounding 

 country is bare and arid. There is some growth along the river but the hills 

 are grass-grown with occasional cacti and small acaciarlike trees. The bird-life 

 appears to have been derived from the Cauca Valley. (No. 22.) 

 Expedition No. 1; Nov. 10-24, 1910, 128 specimens. 



Call— (Lat. 3° 25', long. 76° 45'; alt. 3500 ft.) The most important town of the 

 Cauca region and base of the American Museum's expeditions for somewhat 

 more than a year. The surroundings are largely open pastures and afford poor 

 collecting, but the marshes bordering the Cauca River, distant three miles, 

 contain many interesting water-birds. Here the rare Duck {Marila nationi) 

 previously known only from two specimens taken near Lima, Peru, was found 

 to be common. (No. 53.) 



Expedition No. 1; Dec. 19-31, 1910; May 8-11, 1911; Expedition No. 2, 

 Jan. 25-Feb. 8, 1912; 313 specimens. 



Canuto.— (Lat. 7° 35'; long. 73° 28'; alt. 6000 ft.) A "hut" three days' out on 

 the trail from Ocana to Bucaramanga, visited by Wyatt. The surrounding 

 country is forested. (No. 113.) 



Cakthagena. — (Lat. 10° 25', long. 75° 40'; alt. sea-level.) A city in northern Colom- 

 bia at which various collectors have worked, but no large, exhaustive collection 

 has been made here. It is the t3'pe-locahty of a number of Cabanis's species, 

 and was visited by the Michler Expedition, Dr. Detwiler, and Mrs. Kerr (see 

 Turbaco). The surrounding country is semi-arid with open savannas and 

 scrubby-growths. (No. 132). 



Catamucho. — "A little village situated on the banks of the Magdalena about 100 

 miles from BarranquiUa" at which Wyatt collected several specimens. (No. 125.) 



Cauca Valley. — A term properly applied to that region traversed by the Cauca 

 River lying between the foothills north of Popayan and the vicinity of Cartago. 

 It is sometimes misapplied to the region bordering the lower Cauca River in 

 Antioquia, which is here referred to as the lower Cauca Valley, though it has 

 no real connection with the Cauca Valley proper. Some of Salmon's specimens 

 are labeled merely "Cauca," indicating, doubtless, that they were taken some- 

 where along the Cauca River in Antioquia. 



Cebeo MtTNCHiQtJE. — • (Alt. 8325 ft.) A camp in the forest of the Subtropical Zone 

 on the eastern slope of the Western Andes west of Popayan. (No. 57.) 

 Expedition No. 2; May 22-June 24, 1911; 311 specimens.
