R.K.Selander, 1953 65 Oct.26 Tonalá to 6 mi. S Tonalá, 180 ft., Chis., México Rented two horses (10 pesos each per day) and rode out along road toward Puertos Arista. Road probably OK for truck in dry season but not now. At a point about 3 miles S Tonalá we began finding numerous H. chiapensis. Took 19 specimens and then returned to Tonalá, arriving at about 1:00 P.M. Picked up letter from Pitelka containing 4 $25 checks. Put birds on ice, skinned until 8:30 and then went to bed. Oct.27 Skinning birds most of the day. Presidente of Tonalá promised a letter of introduction to the Presidente of Mojarros. Plan to collect at Mojarros tomorrow. Boy brought another C. chiapensis he got here in town. Oct.28 [Bonifacio's address in Tuxtla Gutiérrez =] [No. 83 Primera Poniente] Bonifacio just checked on train to Mojarros today. Someone told him it leaves Tonalá at 12:00 PM. - This doesn't agree with the schedule I- get from the printed time-table a few days ago. The Presidente of Tonalá gave me a letter of introduction and recommendation to the Agentes Municipales around Tonalá. I copied a map of the Tonalá-Mojarros region which the Presidente had stored away in a cabinet - apparently an old map - blue-print type. The Presidente's name is Lic. Juan Trinidad López.
