5 mi. E of Terote, 8700 ft., Vera Cruz, Mex. July 7, 1946 Mountain. Tree line appears to be about 500 ft below the peak. The vegetation up to snow-line appears to be either scrub of some type, or seedling pines. July 8, 1946 Left camp at 7:15 a.m. and walked down to a point 2 mi. N of Terote, 7800 ft., where I spent the rest of the a.m. hunting P. fusca. Returned to camp around 2 p.m. The pines extend in long stands down to about 8200 ft., and in between these stands the grain fields extend up to about 8500 ft. Junco phaeonotus was abundant above 8000 ft., being found in the pines, out in the grain fields, and in the Baccharis scrub around the grain fields. Apelocoma jays were heard but not seen. Plagiospiza superciliosa and green-backed goldfinches were common all the way down. Skinned in p.m. July 9, 1946 Hunted fowkles in a.m. In the afternoon we went down to Jalapa (Jalapa = Mexican spelling) to get water and supplies. Stayed overnight at the Hotel Salmones. July 10, 1946 We did not leave Jalapa until about 1:30 p.m.
