Metapan - San Salvador - Finca Las Cruces April 8, 9, 10, 1942 1 mi. N.E Cerro de los Barajjos, 5200', Depto. Santa Ana, El Salvador April 11, 1942. We are camped in a house on the finca of Colonel Vides. The country all around here is given over almost entirely to coffee-growing up to about 5000 feet. To the SW is a sharp cone, the Cerro de los Barajjos, rising to about 6000'. Our house lies directly at the base of a peak to the SE, also rising to about 6000'. To the NW about 1/2 mile lie the westernmost peaks of the Cerro de Agula. This cerro is composed of a chain of 3 peaks of about 6000', with saddles between the peaks. Coffee has been planted on all peaks above Cerro de los Barajjos. This alone is relatively untouched, with dense forest running from about 5100' to the top. The other peaks all have coffee to about 5300'. Above this, there has been extensive clearing & burning, the original cloud forest being confined to the very summits of the peaks, even there not at all extensive. On the Cerro de Agula, much of the cleared upper slopes has been reforested with cypress, which comprises a very dense, low, extensive artificial forest. In the A.M. I hunted in the cloud forest at the top of the peak behind our camp. This locality I have given as 1 mi. E Cerro de los Barajjos, 5900'. Collected several lizards, which were the only reptiles seen. They seemed to favor predilection for turn-over woodland, which is in the process of being made into fields for cultivation. There are numerous turned over patches near
