Temascaltepec, Mexico, Mex. to Zacaqu, Michoacan, Mex. July 30, 1946 Hotel del Jardin (not recommended) and eating at the Cafe Chon (pretty good). Zacaqu, Michoacan, Mex. to Patzcuaro, Michoacan, Mex. July 31, 1946 Left Zacaqu at about 1a.m. and drove to Quiroga for breakfast, collecting 2 P. fuscus on the way (Sibley & each 1). Then drove to the town of Patzcuaro, and out to Tacambaro, 34 mi. SE of Patzcuaro. Then returned to Patzcuaro, putting up at Hotel Lago de Patzcuaro (very good). On the way back from Tacambaro, Chuck shot 2 P. fuscus for me, and I collected 2 P. ocai for him. Patzcuaro, Michoacan, Mex. to Mruapan, Michoacan, Mex. August 1, 1946 Returned to our locality 2 mi. SE of Patzcuaro, 7700 ft, where we collected P. ocai yesterday, and between us collected 6 P. ocai and 6 P. fuscus. I took a crossbill feeding on pine cones about 8 ft up in a tree by the edge of a field. The bird fed in an upside down position and looked like a Para- keet. The following is a list of birds observed near Patzcuaro, from the lake shore to the high pine country above town: Great Blue Heron, Ameri- can Egret, Turkey Vulture, Sparrow Hawk, Road- runner, Hairy Woodpecker, Acorn-Storage Wood- pecker, Flicker, Empidonax fuliginosus, Nygia- Chaves Pertinax, Barn Swallow, Raphelbrowa
