Hanken, James 1976 Journal Hotel Porega, Pachuca, Est. Hidalgo, Mexico 10 July and we found only a few Saloporus and slugs (Sincella) under rocks but did find two salamanders, possibly Pseudoeurycea galanae. Doug found one under a rock at the base of a tree while I found one on the surface of a rock under some wet moss. We turned at least a hundred other rocks which seemed suitable for sals but found no others. We left Ciudad del Maiz for Mex Hwy 57 and continued onto Mexico City via Queretaro (including a rather intense thunder storm) and arrived at the Hotel de Carlo at 4AM Hotel Quinta Chilla, Tamazunchale, Est. San Luis Potosi, Mexico 11 July Doug Edkins and I drove from Pachuca to Tango Tamazunchale via Mex Hwy 85 yesterday stopping to look for Chiropetracon in caves in the town of Durango. Approaching Durango from the SW one passes through rather steep pine-covered pine + oak- covered slopes at levels off of greater than 700'. Durango itself lies in a basin with extensive limestone outcrops. We did not stop en route to Durango although the forests SW of town seem suitable habitat for sals, but instead tried to look for caves in town.
