The Davis - 1941. July 8. Miami, Dade Co., Florida - Tampa, Hillsborough Co., Florida. Drove from Miami to Tampa, where we stayed for the night. There was a shallow pool series of pools behind our cabin, from which I collected 1 Bufo terrestris, 2 Bufo fuscicus, +1 Gastrothrype Carolinensis. Gastrothrype was very numerous but very hard to catch. July 9-11. Tampa, Florida - Brownsville, Texas, via Panama City, Florida, New Orleans, La., Lake Charles, La., Houston, Texas, and Harlingen, Texas. We came to Harlingen the night of July 11, and went to see Mr. L. Derby Davis, an expert on birds of the Brownsville region, and birds of Mexico. Had a talk with him before we proceeded to Brownville. July 12. Collected at around Brownsville. Stayed in Raymondville, Texas. July 13. Went birding with Davis. He showed us a lot of new birds, and some good spots for seeing the local avifauna. There are more birds here than I have seen in any area for sometime. We have seen 75 species, and numbers of individuals are high. July 14. Went over to Matamoros, on the Mexican side, saw the town, and found out about carrying specimens through the U.S. Customs. Anything goes that doesn't have feathers. Spent the night at home of L. Derby Davis -
