Hankau, James 1976 Journal 29 Jan Hotel "Pepsi" Fortin Est Veracruz, Mexico S of the Mex Hwy 150, 9.5 Km W (by road) of the centrally located church in Rio Frio, Est. Mexico, and 1.8 Km W (by road) of the cleared area with a few buildings and dwellings indicating Parque Nacional Togoan. This area was primarily pines with a few scattered oaks. Some evidence of logging in the past was seen in the form of isolated chopped tree trunks and some fallen logs were cleared. There was little understory adjacent to the road, but as one progressed up the hill S of the road a thick humide grass cover was conspicuous. Brad and I walked No Bromeliads were evident here but pine others had been seen abundant in the forest fringing the road at lower elevations to the West. Brad and I worked the area for ~ 1 1/2 hrs. turning logs + rocks, peeling bark, etc. Six Sceloporus were found (M2789-M2794) all inactive under bark on fallen logs, and Brad found two Baerisnia under a log. The Baerisia show a strong resemblance to Gerdonotus coombs with the white vertical barring laterally and longitudinal ventral dark striping. Most interesting of all was a salamander
