R.K.Selander, 1954 Oaxaca, Mexico March 16 off the road and camped at 6:00 P.M. at a point about 5 miles W Tequisistlan in a stand of cactus, then bush, and deciduous trees. Here we noted lenticulous woodpeckers, a yellow-bellied trogon (sp?), a large flycatcher. No C. preciosus seen or heard but the habitat would seem to me to be suitable. Skinned two Calocitta formosa which I shot 10 mi. W of Tequisistlan. March 17 Group of 5 Calocitta formosa passed thru camp at 6:15 A.M. Parrots flying over just after, 6:30. Doves of several type calling all around camp. No worn noises of any type heard early this morning. Drove to a point 1.5 mi. NE Los Amates, 2600 ft., where we found Chester Lamb camped in a fully culvert at the edge of a stand of pines. Lamb has two Mexican helpers with him - one "Sedelio," whom he had two years ago. Lamb said he had seen cactus wrens here several years ago but later he said that he wasn't sure of this. I hunted around camp for 2 hours and took a Piranga flava, 3 leptostyla verruuxi, a Pirang ludoviciana, and 2 Thryothorus pleurostictus. I noted that Lamb had collected Xiphorhynchus florigaster, Saltator atriceps, Turdus grayi, acorn- storring woodpecker. Saw one flock of about 5 Xanthoura yucos. Lamb has taken one Thryothorus felix here but I didn't find it in my hunting. Late in the afternoon I collected one Glaucidium which was called to attention
