R.K. Selander, 1953 41 San Pedro Muniz, 3000ft., Chiapas, Mexico Oct. 19 to that in real "rain forest" but fewer ferns a "elephant-ears"; no palms. Got two specimens with one shot as the birds were perched on a branch along the water. Other bird of flock got away. As we returned to camp a flock of birds flew into a tall dead tree - about [illegible] 75 feet above the ground. Shot one - rose-breated grosbeak. Also took a Saltator atriceps. These very common in emergreen forest throughout the area. Returned to camp, had dinner of Spam and laid the sack. We are located near a nest of small red-ants which are really mean. Doesn't much matter since I am already one solid ant bite from the camp at Santa Rita. A few mosquitos about. I got the following info. on trails, vegetation, etc. from the guide and from Bonifacio, mostly the former: 1) Soteapa is a small settlement located on the Rio Chijalve in a fairly level area which is " soco". Calouetta only is there. (I learned late from Alvrong that a rock slide had just recently covered the trail from Soteapa to San Pedro Muniz so that it is "impossible" to get from over one place to the other, but I did not know this at the time, nor did the guide). No coffee or bananas at Soteapa. No brown japs. 2) From Soteapa there is a trail (not for horses)
