Santa Cruz Barillas, Huehuetenango.
26 June pine that Paul knew which we thought
might be good for Chiroptodonism - About 1/2
mile before it we stopped at a brook ?
tore up rocks - nothing. The patch of woods is
at ~ ft. el. and is very similar in
appearance to the C. cochleatum locality.
Apparently there is a large stony forest of
mixed madrone-pine which the road cuts
through. In general along the road the
madrone seems to go up to the fog line
& into it occasionally, as was apparently
the case here. The woods looked like they were
cleared near the road a long time ago -
maybe 50-100 years. The logs were frequently
very rotten, a good boule was at a premium.
Inside stumps & under bark especially of
old stumps, we got 12-15 B. rootrata.
They basically look like the others, but
there is a predominance of a red color phase,
with only one solid middorsal stripe of
a chestnut-brown-red. However, the other 1/2-striped
phase was also present. No Chirgys were
found, I just don't know why. We worked for
a good hour then moved on. We stopped very
briefly (~3 minutes) at a high plateau
field, then went on to San Mateo, where
