Lake 'Romeo', Zoo', dep't. San Miguel, El Salvador Feb. 20, 1942. Marshall shot a Spilotes which he gave me. It is of normal black + yellow coloration. This snake was found near a farmhouse about 1 1/4 miles west of Camp, in some thick brush. The ones that I saw were in the dense jungle forest. Hunted in a small canyon about 1/4 mile east of Camp. This is well wooded, but the west wall thins out into more open grassland forest at the summit. In this open forest shot a Blue-Growed Thrush and a Western Tanager. Saw nothing else within range in this canyon all morning. Ten-tailed Warblers and But Tanagers which I had seen here on every previous visit, were conspicuous by their absence. On the way down, saw a King Vulture and several Turkey Vultures circling. They finally lit well below me but when I got about 2 hundred yards from them the King flew down the canyon and lit again. A couple or three Turkeys flushed at my approach, and flew to where the King was, but the remaining Turkeys stayed where they were. I again made for the king, but the same thing happened, and again the King, together with the other vultures, flew down canyon. This happened still a third time, but the Sarcoramphus soared high into the air and flew out of sight over the hills, while the Turkey Vultures remained where they were. In none of these flushing flocks did I see or smell anything in the way of animal
