R.K. Selander, 1952 56 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"). Grebe sp. (2 on aug. 21) Pelecanus occidentalis Phalacrocorax olivaceus Anhinga anhinga Fregata magnificens Butorides virescens Dichromassa rufescens Casmerodius albus Egret sp. Heron sp. Hydranassa tricolor Myatonia americana (Ajaia ajaia??)
