R. K. Selander, 1954 80 Tonalá to Tres Picos, Chiapas, Mexico April 12 if there is significance in the remaining dry forest - only a few pairs could be along many of the floors in the plate beyond La Polka. As the train turns the plain is a bit wider - 1/2 mile or so - the hills are very dry. A few long tolopastes on the plate and shrubly second growth in fields which have been cleared of the low deciduous forest. Neb is correct in Cero Vernal area. At Cabana the plain is perhaps 1 mile wide. Took picture #11 from Cabana looking at Cero Vernal. Some deciduous forest covered Cero Vernal which is 2-3000 feet high. Much evidence of clearing around Cabana. Fair stand of long tolopaste, guancaste and amate in a small patch beyond town Cabana near foot of hills. A mile or so beyond town plain narrows to 1 block! All has been farmed. Guanacastes anda few big oaks beyond the tip of the hill. Topastes & amates form little pockets where wrens could occur - a few pair in each perhaps - small low palms on hill before Mugarras.
