Hanken, James 1975 Journal Mexico Trip 10 May Arose at ~ 0630 hrs. and left soon after. Continuing W on route 60, we headed N on Mex 57 at San Roberto and continued on this road to our border crossing at Pedras Negras at ~ 3 PM. Drove essentially straight thru stopping only for gas, etc, and @ to pick up a DOR Rhinoclemys lescoutei (SSS #) along Mex Hwy 57, 0.8 mi. S Acatita access road, Coahuila. The border crossing was of little trouble: the officials cared less about permits for our specimens than about the possibility of our having marijuana. From Eagle Pass Texas we headed N on US Hwy 277 to Del Rio and then switched to (ST #1/25) Texas Hwy 90N. One Rhynoclemys cornutum was found active along the highway just N of Eagle Pass at the jct of Texas farm road 1588 & US 277. We drove the road N of Del Rio just after sunset and had an opportunity to do some night driving. Rains had finally fallen the previous night: no rain fell exactly in Del Rio, but points 125 mi. N had 5" the previous night. Standing water was evident alongside the road and we were later to find small pools etc near the road with calling frogs. Between [illegible]
