1 slope Mt. Lacagnatique, 4600', dept. Morgan, El Salvador Jan. 7, 1942. "Sumbadora", the same as the 2 large dark gray colubrids we caught at Monte Cristo, but this snake has a dark median dorsal stripe, is olive green above, & yellow green below. I do not think that it is a young individual of the "Sumbadora". Jan. 8, 1942. Took a Guatemala Azure-crowned Hummingbird (1070) near the house, then spent the rest of the a.m. reptile hunting without results. Came back to find that Hildebrand had shot 3 Long-tailed Owl, of which I skinned one (1019). Went out hunting for the rest of the p.m., but virtually all I saw was Black-throated Green Warblers, which are everywhere in the oak & coffee. Shot a Turdus grayi (1071), my attention was attrac- ted to it by several throaty "chirps", which sounded just like the note given by our Robin when alarmed. The bird was about 25' up in an oak. Went night- hunting with Stinson. We went down to about 3400'. Virtually no owls cal- ling. Stit shot a fox. Lowery day. Jan. 9, 1942 Went bird-hunting in a.m. Took the trail south of camp while leads to the ridge.
