R.K.Selander, 1954 22 Villa Allende, 2000ft., Chiapas, México April 25 hills above the town, a "norther" having blown in yesterday afternoon and lost night. However, it isn't raining so I will be able to get up to Santa Rita and beyond, provided the weather doesn't get any worse. It is cooler here than in Tuxtla and a cold wind is blowing down the canyon from the north. Prepared two birds (which we collected last night) while we waited for Ruben Díaz to return from Santa Rita. at 3:00 P.M. I hunted .5 mi. N of town and collected one C. zonatus, plus Saitator atriceps and cseruleocens, Thraspis albius, Passerina sp., Contopus sp. Saltator atriceps is fairly common along the gulleys where there are pockets of mixed deciduous - evergreen forest. Other birds seen were Isthmicultures, Cassidix mexicanus, Crotaphaga, Amulycerous, Icterus sp., and a small sparow which I could not identify. It stays close to the ground in dense thickets and will not come to my calls. Skinned 6 birds just before dark. It is a bit chilly tonight and the clouds continue blowing low over the surrounding hills from the north.
