Marshall, 1942
General Account
Jan. 15 Mt. Cacagnathine, Dept. Morazan, El Salvador
slope of Mt. " Oak forest down about
1000 ft. Coll. Brasremon in brush
under oak at lower edge of oak
growth - then it gives way to
a type of high dense brush
on the steep slope which goes
in a blanket down to the farms
& cornfields 1000 ft or more below.
This brush is not a chaparral but
is composed of straight shoots mostly
& mostly of flowering plants now in
bloom - Hummers in immense
numbers - mostly Archilochus colubris.
Many Tolmie Warblers & Paleolaled Warblers
heard a chat?, Zoro Leptoptila,
sara pigeon, many s-b. thrushes.
Where the ridge levels off below
are cornfields - where I got Amigulus
(also seen in cactus hedges around
houses). Violet-green Swallows
common at this level. Tucker
(botanist) says this brush is not
natural - these slopes were probably
cleared for cornfields once. No swiffts! (along
summit).
Jan. 16 Collected Termites for D. Kirby this am. around
edge of finca in old stumps - Original
