No large game was seen, the
only mammals being
2 gray squirrels + a
turpial.
Many of the
birds seen in the pass
were species different
from those of the route
we have followed thus
far. At the very
summit stands a
few huts & there grew,
a large banana plant
growing, evidence of
absence of frost.
The cochenut was here
grown in fields, also red
peppers, corn, buckwheat
& taro. We reached at
12:20 P.M.
