leaves, my boy. I shot a brown pigeon and a dove, probably Coa cristato. One passes through this forest for about twenty five kilometers. After that one immerses you flat through the flat grass land until one gets to about 50 Km. from Tulcar. Here one descends into a canyon immediately after entering the forest. The Canyon whose floor is forested, rises abruptly for about 150 meters and is full of small grottos. At the 30 km mark one emerges onto the Tichenona River, which on- goes to whose banks the road clings for the next 20 Km. About 10 Km. from Tulcar the valley widens abruptly and the road goes directly across its delta country through several small villages and fields to Tulcar. It was about 4:30 p.m. when we arrived. August 30, 1929 In the morning I skinned the birds that I shot "en route" yest the 29th. What is I skinned the brown pigeon & the dove. The rest went bad on the account of the heat. After lunch I changed hotel as the wood was in was too dirty and took a short drive. The weather was fine and warm.
