Hauken, James 1975 Journal Mexico trip: Puerto de la Zorro -> Cd. Valles 10 May 1100 hrs rescuing a coral snake (Micrurus). However, (cort'd) it appears as though it may be another specimen of the coral-mimic found earlier on the trip, Lampropeltis triangulum. N of the town of Tamazunchale we stopped several times to look for Anelytropsis Orange groves in particular were sought because they comprise a good deal of the few habitats which seemingly have a sufficient quantity of leaf litter. However, no Anelytropsis were found, including a stop at a reported former locality 14.2 mile N of Tamazunchale (now occupied by orange groves. An additional stop at 0.1 Mi. S of El Hamel, San Luis Potosi, on Mex Hwy 85 to investigate a large stand of tropical deciduous forest with abundant, thick leaf litter and fallen, even somewhat moist logs beside a small stream failed to produce any Anelytropsis, although Sam did collect two Anolis sp. Tonight at the Hotel Valles Sam collected 15 more Gehyra mutilatus from walls & ceilings of the hotel building, making this the best locality for the trip this far.
