Vera Cruz, Mexico 2 February from the xeric-adapted vegetation (yucca + desert-like shrubs) and today ground that this area receives little vegetation. From San Felipe the road climbs to the E-sloping hills covered with a pine-shrub forest, although still quite dry. Continuing E the forest becomes denser with mixed pinot oak and moss on fallen trunks. Our first locality was at a clearing ~12 km along the road from San Felipe with fields cleared and planted to potatoes and others used for cattle grazing. The steep slopes formed a canyon and were covered with mixed pine and chaparral. A heavy fog made the exposed surfaces wet but most logs and rocks were dry underneath. However, a few logs and rocks, and wood chips were moist underneath and here salamanders were found. In total 38 Thorius and 11 Pseudoeurycea were found, often together under the same log. Some were also found under logs in the canyon bottom under pine trees which contributed much fog drip. Four Bologonus were also found under bark on stumps. Returning towards San Felipe we stopped at a more mesic area in pine-oak forest to work the forest and road bank. 836 Thorius were taken in ~45 min, all from under bark or
