The valley leading through Tarafan continues through Zamora, dropping in elevation. It is mostly farming and grazing land. Tuna and canelabra lacti, and bull ton acacia, and mimosa, are common. 4.6 mi. W of Jacona 2 P. fuscus were noted. 12.7 mi.

W of the Jalisco line, P. fuscus noted. 18 mi. W of the Jalisco line, P.
