R.K. Selanders, 1954 18 9 mi. SE San Cristobal, 9300ft., Chia, Mexico April 21 to hunt east up the canyon. A short distance from the car I found a nest in an oak, located +- 25 feet above the ground on a large, nearly horizontal branch. Blue mockingbird seen in the thick, thorny thickets beneath the oaks - collected one. I returned to the car where Bonnie had collected one near a large pine tree - I collected another in about the same spot. We heard various pairs calling and saw several more long flights from high in a tree, across the road to another slope. Returned to San Cristobal late in afternoon to pre- pare specimens. Heavy rain until a little hail late in afternoon but clear during the night. April 22 Working in the worn-area 9 mi. SE where we collected a large series of specimens. At 3:00 P.M. we drove to the Hotel Colon near San Cristobal and stayed the night, skinning specimens in our room. April 23 Returned to Tuxtla Gutierrez and stayed at the Hotel Bonampak. Had truck greased and oil changed and other minor repairs. April 24 Had rear door fixed at the Anza Garage. Address of Ezgi Matuda: Mineria No. 88 B. Escandon.
