Hauken, James 1975 Journal Mexico trip : Ahuacatlan area 4 May (cout'd) horizontal seams visible on the walls. et was 5-10' wide and ~20 yds deep with a smooth floor. It was easily traversed and salamanders were readily found walling on the vertical cave walls and inside the horizontal cracks. The other connecting cave was much narrower with steeper walls and was less-easily traversed (the other section had been used in past times illegally for religious services when they had been otherwise forbidden by law); I did not enter it but saw did. In addition to finding salamanders, Allen found an individual on a wall next to a line of eggs ~ 20 eggs laying end-to-end. The eggs were ~ 1/8" in diameter. These were collected. After many parting words (most not understood) and "good-bye's" we said bid adieu to the crowd which had gathered and continued E out of Ahuacatlan, down off the tall steep modulari ridge, and on to Pindado Valley, San Luis Potosi where we are spending the night at the Hotel Valle.
