COMMENTS: The manuscript notes on the Olalla collecting localities in the Department of Ornithology have the brothers at this locality 26–28 February and 1–9 March 1929. It is listed only as “Rio Orinoco, Mte. Duida.” In an effort to place La Laja more exactly, we consulted the journals of G. H. H. Tate, leader of the Tyler Duida Expedition, housed in the Department of Mammalogy, AMNH. Tate was at higher altitude camps during much of the expedition, but made many trips up and down Mt. Duida to keep in touch with the Olallas. In his letter of 23 February 1929, Tate noted “Water in camp at Grand Savannah had dried up and [the Olallas] had crossed to Fish Cano [= Cano Pescado on the right bank of the Orinoco].... I... told [Olalla] to move out to the bank of the Orinoco to a station [La Laja] a little way down the river. There is a flat rock expanse there, and an abandoned house.” We read this as meaning that La Laja is also on the right bank, as it was shown on Gilliard’s (1941: 454) map.
