Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico
April 27
Looked up a canyon on the north side of Ensenada
Bocchilango in search of a reported hot cave. Didn't
find it. Got one Salpymus clarki and a Hrozemua
ornatae. Again no lita taylors.
(Sue oloma)
Went out with Bleedel to the island, and left him
two to set his nets and returned to Bocchilango.
Drove about 20 miles of highway north of Guaymas without
seeing a snake or lizard, alive or dead. After returning,
I went back to the island (with the man who rented
us the boat pilot) and picked up Bleedel and
20 Pirngys.
April 30
En route Guaymas to Tucson. Left Hwy Bocchilango
at 9:00 PM, arrived Nogales at about 2:30 AM.
Only two BOR snakes were seen, a Salodra hosalgia
14 road miles N Buris and a Tumorhodoa
loulida 17 road miles N Buris. Neither was in fit
condition to be saved. This was a chilly region with
many mosquito trees.
In Arizona, along BOR Masticophis flagellum was
found 5 mi. SW Continental, Pima County. The anterior
fourth of the body is black, but shows traces of the
piped rings which characterize a new race from south
of this region to be described by Jones & Woodin.
