Seib, R. 1984 Tehuantepec to Cerro Paul, Chiapas, Mexico 16 Oct bromeliad. Attempted to sleep. Cerro Paul to Arriaga, Chiapas, México 17 Oct Woke up very early. Since we drank all our sodas during the night, we had to hike down to the road to fill the bottles with water. We got lost at least 3 or 4 times on the way down. After hiking back up, we cut open bromeliads for 5 hours, employing the services of 2 Indians. In 20 person hours, we collected another 8 Bolitoglossa. I found 4 in 4 different bromeliads, as did one of the Indians. I also found 4 Idyla and a Barisia and Allison found an Anolis. Hiked back down to the car and drove to Rizo de Oro. The truck lost its right torsion bar 3 km from the town. The right side of the lift kit no longer lifted the wheel well above the tire, so I could not turn more than a few degrees, by fastening the torsion bar to the underside of the truck with rope, I managed to limp into Arriaga, where the truck was fixed at a Ford dealership. Slept at Hotel El Parador.
