Lake Olomega, Zoo', Dept. San Miguel, El Salvador Feb. 23, 1942. Short-tailed Forest Lince and Hood-billed Kite. See species accounts for both of these. On the way home, I saw a pair of Ground cuckoos walking through on the ground under the mimosa bushes. These birds walk in a deliberate manner, peering from side to side as they progress. So distinctive is this method of walking that they have been nicknamed "Jesus-creepers" by the members of the party. Very often the bird will remain poised on one foot, the other being held against the abdomen. This contracted foot is then slowly placed to the ground, and the creeping continues. I shot one bird whereupon the other made a short, low flight out of sight behind some Mimosa bushes. Remembering what Van Rossem had said, that when startled this bird disappears, only to return again to satisfy its curiosity, I coiled the bird where I had dropped it. As I rose to leave, there was the other bird, creeping about me in a wide arc, staring at me. I collected it. In the p. m. natives brought in 2 snakes, which I have accurately identified as "Trimorphodon". The natives called them "vibora castellana". Feb. 24 - Feb. 26. Spend this time packing & breaking camp. Moved to the town of Olomega a m. Feb. 26. After retiring the night of Feb. 26, was awakened by a native who wanted to sell me a snake. It was a live Boa about 6' long,
