Los Mangos. — (See Los Cisneros.) 



LoMA Hbbmosa. — A locality on the headwaters of the Rio San Juan visited by 

 Palmer. 



Los Cisneros. — (Lat. 3° 49', long. 76° 40'; alt. 1005 ft.) A small town (also 

 called Juntas) on the railroad from Buenaventura to Cali, at the junction of the 

 Dagua and Las Petitas. The surroundings, fauna, and collecting conditions are 

 essentially like those found at San Josi5. Visited by Delattre, Rosenberg, and 

 Hopke. (No. 21.) 

 Expedition No. 1, Mch. 10-21, 1911; 82 specimens. 



Macotama. — (Alt. 8000 ft.) A station in the Santa Marta group visited by Brown. 



Malena. — (Alt. 450 ft.) The first station on the railway line toward Medelhn 

 west of Puerto Berrio. It is in the heart of the virgin, bottomland forest. (No. 

 102; the number should be placed between Nos. 100 and 101.) 

 Expedition No. 8, March 9-11, 1915; 100 specimens. 



Mamotoco.— (Lat. 11° 15', long. 74° 17'; alt. 62 ft.) A village three miles east of 

 Santa Marta. 



Manaurb.— (Lat. 10° 17', long. 73° 16'; alt. 2600 ft.) A station twenty miles 

 southeast of Valle Dupar, at the western base of the Western Andes. Visited 

 by Simons. (No. 158.) 



Masinqa Vibja.— (Lat. 11° 16', long. 73° 58'; alt. 600 ft.) A station on the Rio 

 Manzanares, about four miles above Bonda. (No. 142.) 



Matisuga.— (Lat. 7° 8', long. 73° 8'; alt. 8500 ft.) A village in the Eastern Andes 

 northeast of Bucaramanga visited by Wyatt. (No. 163.) 



Mbdbllin. — (Lat. 6° 8', long. 75° 54'; alt. 4839 ft.) A city in the upper semi-arid 

 Tropical Zone, the surroundings of which have been largely altered by human 

 occupation. It was long the residence of Salmon and doubtless many of his 

 specimens were collected in the immediate vicinity; but it is obvious that in 

 many cases the name has a regional rather than definitely local value. (No. 37.) 



Minca.— (Lat. 11° 12', long 74° 2'; alt. 2000 ft.) A locality in the Santa Marta 

 group fifteen miles from the coast at the head of the Rio Gairu, visited by 

 Simons and by Smith. (No. 140.) 



MiEAFLOHES. — (Alt. 6800 ft.) Name of a bungalow of Mr. Chas. J. Eder on the 

 western slope of the Central Andes slightly north of east from Palmira. It is 

 situated at the lower border of the cloud forest of the Subtropical Zone at its 

 junction with the upper border of the here semi-arid and treeless Tropical Zone. 

 Its faunal position is thus similar to that of our station at San Antonio in the 

 Western Andes. To the east the forest extends to the summit of this ridge 

 (8100 ft.) to the bottom of the succeeding valley, and summit of the following 

 ridge, beyond which we did not penetrate. (No. 52.) 

 Expedition No. 1; April 18-30, 1911; 456 specimens. 



Montana de Esmeralda. — (Alt. 8336 ft.) A locaUty in the Bogotd, region at 

 which Manuel Gonzalez collected. 



Monteredondo. — (Alt. 4500 ft.) A posada in the Eastern Andes on the trail from 

 Bogota to ViUavicencio, a few miles east of Quetame. The valley of the Rio 

 Negro here widens and more tree-growth occurs than at any point along the trail 

 toward Bogotd, until one reaches the Temperate Zone forest above Chipaque. 

 The tops of the higher ridges, however, are crowned with the cloud forest of the 

 Subtropical Zone and would repay collecting. (No. 167.) 

 Expedition No. 7, February 28, March 1, 20 specimens.
