Hanken, James 1976 Journal Hotel Mayorga, Fortin de las Flores, Est., Veracruz, Mexico 25 July There have been no journal entries since I literally stopped in mid-sentence on 20 July. We have been on the go continuously, or using evening hours to preserve and freeze specimens leaving no time for Doug nor I to write notes. I'll try to summarize the last few days below: 20 July - Continued working the area between Llano de las Flores and the top of Cerro Pelon, stopping every few miles to try to get a Thorius sample. In an effort attempt to pinpoint the type locality for T. macdougalli we drove to the town of Maquiltlianguis, SW of Cerro Pelon. I inquired at the restaurant at Machin as to the whereabouts of the road to the town, and was directed to a turnoff from Mex. Hwy 175 1.2 mi. (by road) S of Machin, contrary to the Oaxaca State map which has this road leaving from Machin (although this road will also get you to Maquiltlianguis via Comaltepec). The road quickly drops in elevation from the main Hwy to the town of Maquiltlianguis at 6750 ft. Once in the town I asked where Cerro Thor Humo was, and everyone pointed back to Cerro Pelon and said it was right next to Cerro Pelon. Apparently, Macdougall got the Thorius on or adjacent to Cerro Pelon at a high elevation
