R.K. Selander, 1954 81 Tonalá to Tres Picos, Chiapas, México April 12 as hill comes to water's edge !! Dry and rocky hill with nothing much more than the small dry palms. Just around point plain broadens a little - getting a few Totoposte & guaracaste , amatle , small trees in cultivated area before town of Mojarras . Much burning and clearing here . Mangoes at Mojarras . Plain is less than 1 block at Mojarras but nearly wide but beyond it narrows a lot. I can see where there is habitat around the houses for a few pairs of small wrens and maybe the riparian vegetation is good habitat - it should be, (Barifio says xela, primavera , lemonillos on the plain northtown). Also guanacaste - much. Plain narrows to a few yds beyond town about 1/2 mile - then we left hills behind. Stand of palms just beyond narrow point - Big fan typha. Totoposte - dry deciduous forest on hills - same as around Texulla Tonalá Fan palms , Totoposte on the flats - Big totoposte trees . Palms growing in cleared areas. A forest of fan palms - tall.
