.K.Selander, 1953 30 Oct. 15 4 mi South of Tuxtla Gutierrez, +2800ft., Chis., Mexico there but saw none. It is fair habitat for nighthawks however. Alvarez reports them up there. Skinned birds in afternoon and evening. Oct. 17 Alvarez has talked with a native worker at the Botanical garden in Tuxtla - Sr. Enrique Lopez - who is from the San Fernando area and who is acquainted with that region, including the animals there. This man told Alvarez that there is a place - San Pedro Muniz - about 3 hours on horse NE of San Fernando where one can reach the Rio Grijalva (=Rio Chiapa). The place apparently is north of the Sincledero Gorge since he says it is a flat area near the river. There is a forested slope just before you reach the river. Many fruit trees said to be there (bananas and oranges, I imagine) with coffee plantations. It is probably at a fairly low altitude. This man collected a Harpy Eagle there for Alvarez some time ago. Brown Jays and Calocitta are said to be common at this place, but Alvarez got nothing specific on this. I would expect Psilorchinus if the area is low - Calocitta there would be unusual. This is all the information I have at present on this locality. More information is available on the patch of rain forest NW of San Fernando. There is a place - El Cascajo - 8 km. NW San Fernando where the forest is now made up of large trees & climate is very moist.
