Carriker : List of the Birds ok Costa Rica. 353 



San Vicente : — I am unable to locate this point, but it is probably 

 some small hamlet in the region lying between San Jose and Alajuela 

 on the central plateau. 



Santa Ana (de Escazu) : — There are two other villages of the same 

 name, in widely different parts of the country, but the present one is 

 doubtless referred to by Frantzius and Zeledon. It lies at the foot of 

 the Candelaria Mountains, five miles from San Jose in a southwesterly 

 direction and is a beautiful spot. 



Santa Clara : — This name was used only by Frantzius, and at that 

 time could not refer to the Santa Clara Valley of the Caribbean low- 

 lands, so must refer to either a small stream near Zarcero, flowing into 

 the Balsa, or to a hamlet near Esparta, but most probably the former, 

 as both Carmiol and Frantzius collected along the Rio Balsa. 



Santa Rosa: — A small village near Santo Domingo de Heredia, 

 traversed by the railway from San Jose to Alajuela, and with conditions 

 the same as those of Heredia. The name is used by Carmiol, so can- 

 not refer to Santa Rosa of the Caribbean lowlands. 



Santa Maria de Data ; — (See Dota. ) 



Santa Domingo (de San Mateo): — I think all references to this 

 name refer to Santo Domingo de San Mateo and not to Santo Domingo 

 de Heredia, which is near San Jose. It is about two miles from San 

 Mateo, is the present terminus of the Ferrocarril al Pacifico, and has 

 an altitude of about 1,000 feet with a very hot climate. It overlooks 

 the valley of the Rio Grande de Tarcoles, and is surrounded by culti- 

 vated lands producing coffee, rice, corn, beans, etc. Many collectors 

 have worked in the vicinity. 



Sarapiqui : — Name of one of the largest rivers in the country, rising 

 on the northern slopes of Poas and Barba and emptying into the San 

 Juan. The name as used by collectors refers to the region of Cari- 

 blanco de Sarapiqui. 



Sarchi : — Referred to as Sarchi de Grecia and Sarchi de Alajuela, 

 both meaning the same place. It lies between Grecia and Naranjo, 

 with conditions similar to both of those places. 



Sibahue : — This name has been used by Mr. Underwood, but it is 

 not on the list of localities which he furnished me and I can find no 

 reference to it. 



Sicsola or Sixola : — A large river in the southeastern part of Costa 

 Rica, draining the whole of the Talamanca region. I have used the 

 term " Rio Sicsola " for a point at which I collected on the river
