Oct. 25 SE side of Tonala, 180 ft., Chiapas, Mexico
Bearded - specimen yesterday - Common.
Calyptta formosa - few - one flock of 3.
Helosylas chiapanensis
Polioptila sp. - few
Dendroica petechia - ? shot but not prepared.
Setaria virginea - fairly common; specimen.
Cassiculus melanicterus - common.
Cassidix mexicanus - extremely abundant in town
and on edges of town with cattle.
Setorus gularis - common
Chondastes grammacus - 2 seen - one of which
was shot but not prepared.
Rain in afternoon but clear by about 5:00 P.M.
Went to see the Presidente at about 5:30 P.M.
but he wasn't in. Looked for him at his office
above the jail but he wasn't there. A soldier said
he will be in at 10:00 A.M. tomorrow and that the
policeman who acted as our guide would be
in at 9:00 A.M. tomorrow.
Got some info. on train schedules between
here and Mojarra, one train - probably the "crock
express" doesn't stop at Mojarra or any other towns
between. There is however, a train which has the
following daily schedule - I have been warned
that it is uncertain as to time this train leaves
the various stops - i.e. it is highly irregular.
