R.K.Selander, 1953 13 Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico Oct. 3 of specimens from him. One specimen of each species of kind from around Tuxtla, I believe. His price is $ 2.00 for small birds, $3.00 for medium-sized, and $ 5.00 for large birds. He has had other offers from other museums, 5. BrodKorb stayed in Tuxtla a month this summer - hunting around the town - collecting mostly skeletons according to Alvarez. 6. Alvarez has a MS on the Birds of Tuxtla which includes a colored plate of each species by Alvarez himself - but he can't get it published, 7. Alvarez has hunted at Arriaga and Tonala, the Ocozocuatla area, and in the San Fernando (= Villa Allende) area - but apparently has not visited many other places in Chiapas. 8. Joly Dori visited here and took recordings of some of his museum birds. 9. Alvarez has never heard of Lamb or Brown!!! 10. I met Dr. F. Miranda - no English at all. Got the impression that he thinks he is a big operator - Alvarez apparently thinks so - as least to judge from the way he acts around Miranda. Miranda is obviously top-man in Tuxtla with Alvarez a poor second. I can't stomach Miranda at all, I asked him for a copy of his "Vegetacion de Chiapas" and he told me I could buy it at the book-store - all the while about 50 copies were sitting on his desk!
