Dec 23 Guadalajara, Jalisco to Manzanillo, Colima
this hill. I woke up to the dewy, dewy cold and
spent an hour trying to stay warm. Then Elvey told me
there were some butterflies, and I got up and
went collecting. I got many Nathaliidae, a ?salome,
and blues. A [illegible] miles from the junction of 15-80
I got 2 odd (Phrycoides vesta), and Elvey saw a snake.
Gary caught a Sceloporus dugesii. About 5 miles
beyond Cocula we got many small Eleutherodactylid
frogs under stones at the edge of a lake and
Gary got a Natrix. I got a Phrycoides auda a
fatima. About 3.4 mi further down we stopped
for John Ralph. I got a hirstreak and ?solones
and a dogface. Gary saw a snake and got a rough
shed skin. We stopped farther down to eat
lunch. Here I got a satyr and some [illegible].
Nate & heugot a funny Eleutherodactylid frog
under a clumpish stone. Later I got a small
Cnemidophorus under a stone. From here we went down
to Tecolotlan and got some gasoline, and lost
Gene, temporarily. We stopped at a stream some
distance beyond Tecolotlan to look for frogs, but
only got a R. pipiens. I got a gemmed satyr
and a patch. From here on we went straight
to Manzanillo, stopping to get 3 goatsuckers that were
blinded by our spot light. The country here is all
hilly scrubby forest, and there are lots of nymphs
in it. At Colima we heard lots of specimens
