august 29 Pie de la Cuesta, 20ft., Guerrero, Mexico.
I do not believe that C. humilis occurs in the
"monte" but will check with Dr. Storer on this.
Noted a single Megaceryle torquata and several white-winged
doves . Also saw 3 milletes flying swiftly along the
crest of the breaker [illegible] along the beach. No
nighthawks seen, although we were out until
dusk.
Following is a complete list of species ob-
served during our stay at Pie de la Cuesta,
aug. 21 - aug. 28 ; including those seen at "Montesa"
Island in the Laguna . My hunting was con-
fined exclusively to the lowlands , with no
visit to the foothill vegetation (i.e. the "monte").
