Paul DeBenedicti 1960 San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico About Dec 28 many good opportunites. [illegible] 1A.M. While Dec 29 putting everything away I discovered that two of the Eleutherodactylus we got at Manzanillos were in copula, and there were many eggs in the jar. I pickled the eggs, and moved the frogs in hopes of getting more. I have got almost everything pickled now, that should be, except some Anolis. In the morning - [illegible] to bed about 3A.M. I finished pickling and packing. We got out of San Blas about noon, after everyone else had left us with more baggage than we could carry. At the iguana trees at the entrance to San Blas I caught a pair of white Peacocks in copula. Gary discovered he forgot to check out of the hotel. We stopped once on the road and Gary took some pictures. I got a Gulf fruit. Then we stopped at the stream where we got the frogs yesterday. Gary, Steve, Hardy, and Brian went herp collecting. Gary got another frog, an Anolis and a Sceloporus and Gene got 1 Anolis. I saw some beautiful specimens of Anolis but had no snake bags and couldn't collect. No one got any Kinasteron. Butterfly collecting was good. I saw 4 hairstreaks and got 2. One that I missed looked like an M-album. I also got an Euptychia and another type of large satyr and one Adelpha. I saw many small satyrs, Papilios, some Myscalcas, and one Calico that landed about 50 feet up in a tree. I missed another malachite
