Hanken, James 1976 Journal Hotel Primavera, Oaxaca, Est. Oaxaca, Mexico 18 July is cutting trees for making charcoal. The slope uphill and facing the front and facing the road at this point was relatively drier than the slope on the other side of the crest of the slope which had moss growing conspicuously on the cacti which were the dominant tree. Epiphytes, especially bromeliads, were abundant. We worked this locality for over 2-2½ hrs and yet found only one Thorius (found by Julie Feder under a piece of bark in the drier slope) and two P. cochranae. Martin found an attractively colored snake (dark ground color with yellow dorsolateral stripes) inside a rolling (cactus?) and Jim Lynch found a juvenile Abronia mixteca inside a bromeliad on a relatively exposed tree on the ridge. Several Sceloporus were also taken. Restaurant at El Machin, Est. Oaxaca, Mexico 19 July After doing some errands in Oaxaca in the AM Bongand I left Navo Mex Hwy 175 for Vacery. Dimplan is to spend three days collecting between Cerro San Felipe and Vista Hermosa to pinpoint the ranges of the various Thorius species in this region. We visited one locality N of Cerro San Felipe before dropping down to the river just S of Ocelotao. This locality was 17.4 mi.
