? K.Selander, 1953 H.chiapensis 12 3-6 mi. S Tonala', 180ft., Chie., Mexico Oct. 26 Ceiba, Mango, Guanacaste, Primavera, Mora, Totoposte - all of these by my guide? Will get specimens for identification by Miranda. The vegetation is mixed deciduous - evergreen with more of the former. Many good-looking milk cows grazing in fields - apparently big business here. Noted no real change in vegetation as compared to Tonala' outskirts except fenceless thickets -- trees perhaps larger but perhaps not. Will take some more looking. In any event the trees are much larger than those found in the forest on the foothills to the north of Tonala'. Miranda calls the foothill region his "Selvas Bajas Deciduas" while the Tonala' vicinity is "Sabanas y selvas altas sub-deciduas" According to Miranda's map there is a zone of "selvas bajas deciduas" along the coast south of Tonala' and then zones of Palmares and Manglares. Also Miranda shows the "Selvas Altas Siempre Verdes" on the hills to the north-west of Tonala'. Must investigate this forest. H.chiapensis should be there. Still no sign of herindis! Native boy brought me 3 specimens he took about 1/2 miles NW of the Hotel Gonzalez - in the town - apparently with a flipper. Paid him 4 pesos for each.
