another G. egans was caught after I had finished with my round of traps I went down the trail that leads to the coast plain into the grassland. you pass through on the way what appears to be a fringe of composed of travelers trees and a plant that looks like this as near as I can draw it: - I grows to a height of 6 or 7 ft. and has at intervals along large leaf the stalk & stem are green. After passing through this you come out on a grass ridge you can be following a ridge most of the way down. On the draws leading down from the ridge to dry valleys the forested areas composed of travelers trees and scrubby trees. In the morning there was a lot of swifts 40 or 50 I would say though I made no effort no effort to count them; I collected two. The swift appears to be very rare know of till now only from type. I also got one yellow throat. In the afternoon I returned and decided to set some trap in the grass as the swifts had all left. As I was coming out of a thicket I saw a hawk he was quite large and his wing were shaped something like this though some bird.
