lecting trips to this point, while I spent over two months there in 1902 

 with Mr. Underwood. 



Pozo Pital : — A point on the Rio Naranjo (between the Rio Grande 

 de Terraba and the Rio Grande de Pirris), with the exact location of 

 which I am not acquainted, but from the species of birds taken there I 

 should judge that it is at about the same altitude and has the same con- 

 ditions surrounding it as Pozo Azul de Pirris. Only Mr. Cherrie has 

 collected there. 



Pozo (El, de Terraba) : — At the head of tide-water on the Rio 

 Grande de Terraba, and about twelve miles from the ocean (following 

 the course of the river). The whole surrounding country is a per- 

 fect wilderness of forest, birds and game being abundant. Mr. Under- 

 wood and myself made large collections at the place. 



Puente de Tierra : — One of three hamlets making up the village of 

 Sabanilla del Mojon, three miles northeast of San Pedro del Mojon. 

 Name used by Underwood. 



Puntarenas : — The Pacific seaport of Costa Rica, situated on a 

 long point of sand running out into the Gulf of Nicoya, from which it 

 takes its name. Very little collecting has been done in the place it- 

 self, and this only in the forest and mangrove-growths of the adjacent 

 mainland. 



It was here that Salvin and Dow took the type of Vireo pollens, and 

 Boucard that of Agyrtria boucardi. 



Puriscal : — The word Puriscal is very likely used as an abbreviation 

 of Santiago de Puriscal, for Puriscal is the name of the canton, and 

 not of the town. It is situated twenty-eight miles southwest of San 

 Jose, at an altitude of 4,000 feet and has a population of about fifteen 

 hundred. It lies at the foot of the range of low mountains known as 

 Los Cerros de Puriscal. 



Quebrada Honda : — Name of the locality through which passes a 

 small stream of the same name, emptying into the Reventazon about 

 two miles above Juan Vinas and just below Las Mesas. The stream 

 rises on the lower slopes of the Volcan de Turrialba, the cart-road 

 from Juan Vinas to Cartago crossing it at an altitude of about 4,000 

 feet. This locality is referred to by Frantzius. 



Reventazon : — Name of one of the largest rivers of Costa Rica, up 

 the valley of which the railway runs from La Junta to Cartago, only 

 leaving the side of the gorge at a point between Las Mesas and Paraiso 

 and running thence over the table-land to Cartago. The name as
