Andalucia. — (Alt. 7000 ft.) A station at the summit of the trail leading from 



Guadeloupe in the upper Magdalena Valley to the Caquet^ region. The range 



is here heavily forested, the forest on the western side extended downward to 



about 3500 feet. Collections were made chiefly on the western slope. (No. 67.) 



Expedition No. 5, June 1-16, 1912; 248 specimens. 



Andes w. of Popatan. — (Alt. 10340 ft.) A camp on the Micai trail on the crest 



of the first ridge of the Western Andes, w. of Popayan. The fauna is typically 



representative of the Temperate Zone. Vegetation, Miller writes, "is scarce, 



scrubby and stunted." ' Here Diglossa gloriosissima was discovered. (No. 58.) 



Expedition No. 2, July 10-23, 1911; 235 specimens. 



Anolaima. — A locality in the Bogota region lying just below the border of the 

 tableland west of Facatativd. Since the early days of the trade in 'Bogota' 

 skins, it has been a favorite collecting ground for native collectors who still 

 frequent it. (No. 85.) 



Antioqitia. — (Lat. 6° 24', long. 76° 11'; alt. 2000 ft.) A town on the eastern slope 

 of the Western Andes at and near which Salmon collected. Except when ap- 

 plied to Salmon's specimens the name generally applies to the Department of 

 Antioquia. (No. 36.) 



Antioquia. — An important Department of northern Colombia which extends from 

 the Atrato to the Magdalena rivers. Trade skins which have been shipped from 

 this region in small numbers and are spoken of as Antioquian, doubtless come 

 largely from the vicinity of Medellin. 



Aeacataca. — (Lat. 10° 40', long. 74° 10'; alt. 60 ft.) A village at the western 

 base of the Santa Marta group from which Madaraz described several new 

 forms. (No. 136.) 



Ahehueca. — Coast of Santa Marta region, three miles south of Cienaga. 

 Visited by Simons. (No. 135.) 



Atanques.— (Lat. 10° 32', long. 73° 37'; alt. 2800 ft.) About ten miles north of 

 Valle Dupar, Santa Marta region. Visited by Simons. (No. 155.) 



Atrato River. — ^The most important river of western Colombia. The Michler 

 expedition coUeoted ia the lower Atrato Valley, and, in addition to specimens 

 secured at stated points on the Atrato or its tributaries, Mrs. Kerr has sent us 

 58 specimens labeled simply 'Atrato'. 



Bagado. — (Lat. 5° 18', long. 76° 24'; alt. 650 ft.) A locaUty near the sources of 

 the Atrato at which Mrs. Kerr collected 71 specimens. (No. 9.) 



Barbacoas. — (Lat. 1° 54', long. 78° 17'; alt. 68 ft.) A town in southwestern 

 Colombia on the Telembi River. It is surrounded by "thick forest and im- 

 penetrable jungle." Collections made at and near this place added many 

 Ecuadorian species to Colombia's known avifauna. (No. 29.) 

 Expedition No. 6; September 10-October 7, 1912; 491 specimens. 



Barranquilla. — (Lat. 11°, long. 74° 40'; alt. 0.) A city of some 40,000 inhabitants, 

 about 20 miles from the mouth of the Magdalena. Point of departure for 

 steamers up that river. The surrounding country is typical of the semi-arid 

 tropics and there are also lagoons and marshes connected with the river. No 

 large collection of birds appears to have been made here but most of the collec- 

 tors who enter the Magdalena region secure a few specimens near Barranquilla. 

 (No. 130.) 



Bahrigon. — A locality at the head of navigation on the Meta River, in river forest, 

 at which Manuel Gonzalez collected. (No. 169.) '■ ' • -
