Paul DeBenedictis 1961 Jan 15 (Dec 23) memories and recollections - Mex. trip) Elvey and Harry Burr have been collecting scorpions, and Gary suggested a new way - smash them with a stone, and then impale them with a long stick. They didn't like the method. Scorpions were everywhere here. The site was in very dry, open thorny- brush covered mountains. However under a rock under the shade of a clump of leguminous trees Nate Cohen got an odd frog (Syrrhopus or Tonocadtylus). A little later I got a Caemidophorus under a more exposed stone. Past Tecotolan Teddy picked up a D.O.P. Hastico- phis b. lineatus. We stopped where the highway crossed a small stream and went frog hunting but only got a Rana pipiens. We saw two satyrs in the trees along the creek and got one with Gary's hat (this is about the first time I haven't had a net with me). I got the net and then got a Chlosyne , but saw no more satyrs. It was getting quite dark by this time.
