livera 1941 9 Monte Cristo Mine, too, left Moran, El Salvador. Dec. 21, 1941. To the water, & swam back under the bank, which was cut under. Stirton pinned it against the bank with his geologic pick and then picked it up. It was in perfect shape when he brought it back. I skinned it & saved the skeleton com- plete. It was highly parasitized. The mesentery along the spinal column was shot with nemas- tode worms, & there were 3 large yellow tapeworms in the left lung. One of the worms had actually perforated the lung. The stomach was empty. Some native names for reptiles & amphibians:- Frog rana Toad sapo Gray Colubrid sumbadora Spilotes pullatus Micasola Corophis lineatus Guarda Camino (this name also applies to a second species of snake which I have not seen yet) Trotalus sp.
