Carriker : List of the Birds of Costa Rica. 355 



five miles from Boruca in a northeasterly direction. There is a very- 

 old Catholic mission church there with a resident missionary priest. 

 Conditions are the same as at Boruca, although birds seem much 

 scarcer. Mr. Cherrie collected there in 189 1-2, but neither Mr. 

 Underwood nor I stopped at the place, the people being so poor and 

 few in numbers that it is impossible to procure food from them. The 

 name also applies to the whole region, also called Las Llanuras de 

 Terraba. 



Tierra Blanco, : — A beautiful and very picturesque village on the 

 southern slope of the Vol can de Irazu, at an altitude of about 6,500 

 feet, through which passes the road, which leads from Cartago to the 

 summit of the volcano, and to the large dairy-farm of Sefior don 

 Ricardo Jimenez. It is about five or six miles from Cartago. 



Tiribi (Rio) : — A small river rising on the western side of El Alto 

 de Ochomogo, near Tres Rios, and flowing westward past San Jose, 

 emptying into the Rio Virilla. This name is used by Frantzius, but 

 by no other collectors, so far as I have noticed. 



Tobosi (San Juan de): — A small village situated four miles south- 

 west of Cartago, at the same altitude (a little higher), and on the 

 eastern side of the continental divide. There are a few skins in the 

 Carnegie Museum collected by Francisco Ulloa Cooper, with the name 

 of this locality attached. 



Tres Rios : — A small town between San Jose and El Alto de 

 Ochomogo, nearer the latter place, through which the railway and 

 the main cart-road from San Jose to Cartago pass. 



Trojas (Las): — I am not able to exactly locate this place as its 

 name is used by Zeledon. It is on the Pacific coast, probably at some 

 point on the eastern side of the Gulf of Nicoya, and not far from Pun- 

 tarenas, for I have seen it referred to as Las Trojas de Puntarenas. 



Jucurriqui : — This place was made quite famous from an ornitho- 

 logical standpoint by Arce, who took many rare things there, getting 

 the types of twelve species on a single trip, among which are Myrmeciza 

 Icemos/icla, Hylopezus dives, Piprites griseiceps, Carpodectes nilidus, 

 Lanio leucothorax, Aphantoiriccus capitalis, and others. It was at that 

 time only an Indian village, situated in a little valley on the southern 

 side of the Reventazon, nearly opposite to the present town of Juan 

 Vinas, and exactly opposite the railway station of Tucurriqui. It has 

 an altitude of about 2,500 feet, but is surrounded on three sides by 

 mountains rising to a height of not less than 4,000 feet. Zeledon 

 also collected there, and some others.
