about midway between Cuabre and its mouth, where it is very little 

 above sea-level, but with high hills just to the south, in which some of 

 the specimens were taken. 



Sipurio : — The Government headquarters in the Talamanca district, 

 situated on the Rio Uren, a tributary of the Sicsola, and reached by 

 canoe or trail from Cuabre, or by a trail going in from the Rio 

 Estrella or North River below Banana River. Prof. Gabb did most 

 of his collecting in Talamanca at this point. It is in a flat, forest- 

 covered plain of considerable extent, and not more than 800 to 1,000 

 feet above the sea. 



Siquirres : — A town of some importance on the railway from Limon 

 to San Jose, at which point change of cars is made for the Old Line 

 division. It is one mile east of the Rio Reventazon and on a small 

 stream of the same name as the town. 



Sucio (Rio) : — A large river rising at the northern foot of the 

 Volcan de Irazu and emptying into the Rio Sarapiqui. At the mouth 

 of the gorge of this river, at the point where it breaks out of the foot- 

 hills into the plain, is situated Carrillo. The name appears on some 

 of Cooper's labels.

 I cannot locate, and to which I find no other reference.

 Costa Rica, from the Caribbean to the crest of the main Cordillera, 

 but as used by ornithologists it applies probably only to the region 

 around Sipurio. 



Tambor : — A small stream on the slopes of the Volcan Barba, ris- 

 ing near Vara Blanca and flowing southwestward into the Rio Itiquis, 

 thence into the Rio Grande de Tarcoles. Underwood and Alfaro use 

 the name on some of their labels. 



Tarrazii : — The name of a canton of the province of San Jose, 

 lying in the Dota Mountains. The name as used on labels probably 

 refers to the part known as Bajos de Tarrazu, near San Marcos, and at 

 an altitude of about 4,000 feet. 



Tempate : — A village in the Peninsula of Nicoya, lying between 

 Nicoya and Santa Cruz. The altitude is low and the climate hot. 

 Arce collected there in the sixties. 



Terraba: — A small, and rapidly disappearing Indian village in the 

 Terraba Valley, situated on the plateau above the Rio Grande, about
