wood collected there in 1908. The bird-fauna is about the same as 

 at Buenos Aires, and, with a few exceptions, the same as at Boruca. 



Grande de Tdrcoles (Rio) : — A large river rising in the Valley of 

 San Jose and after receiving many branches emptying into the Gulf of 

 Nicoya about twenty miles southeast of Puntarenas. This valley seems 

 to form the dividing line between two classes of birds, those coming 

 down the Pacific coast from the north and those going up from Panama. 



Grande de Pirris (Rio) : — A large river rising partly in the south- 

 ern slopes of the Candelaria Mountains, and partly in the Dota Moun- 

 tains, and emptying into the Pacific Ocean about twenty-five miles 

 southeast of the entrance to the Gulf of Nicoya. 



Grande de Terraba (Rio) : — The large river draining the Terraba 

 Valley is called Rio Grande from the Junction of the General and Ceibo, 

 to the Pacific Ocean. An older name, but not used in late years, is 

 Rio Diquis. This name still appears on some maps. 



Grecia : — A city of considerable importance situated about twelve 

 miles northwest of Alajuela, on the lower slopes of the Volcan de Poas, 

 at an altitude of about 3,500 feet. It is mentioned chiefly by Alfaro 

 and Zeledon. 



Guacimo or Guasimo : — A small town on the " Linea Vieja," situ- 

 ated on a river of the same name. It is fourteen miles from La Junta 

 and eight miles from Guapiles, at an elevation of about 600 feet. It 

 lies just on the lower edge of the foot-hills of the northern slope of the 

 Volcan de Turrialba, and has a very rich bird-fauna. Messrs. Lan- 

 kester, Crawford, and myself are the only collectors who have worked 

 at this point. 



Guadaloupe : — A village or rather town of about two thousand in- 

 habitants situated two miles northeast of San Jose, on the road to La 

 Palma. The name is practically synonymous with San Jose. 



Guaitil : — A point in the valley of a little river of that name, 

 rising in the Candelaria Mountains and flowing into the Rio Grande 

 de Pirris. It is just off the road from San Jose to Pozo Azul de Pirris 

 and not far beyond San Ignacio. F. Carmiol was the first to collect 

 at this point. Frantzius also worked there, while I obtained a few 

 specimens in the vicinity while en route to Pozo Azul. 



Guanacaste : — The name of the Province embracing the whole of 

 the peninsula of Nicoya and the Pacific slope, up to Nicaragua, but 

 generally applied (by collectors) to the Tempisque Valley and the 

 vicinity of the Volcan de Miravalles and Tenorio.
