Hanken, James 1976 Journal Hotel Mayorga, Fortín de las Flores, Est. Veracruz, Mexico 25 July and used Maquiltianguis as a reference locality (cont'd) because it was the largest town in the vicinity, possibly along the main route to Oaxaca City from Cerro Pelon. We proceeded to loop back to Machin via the town of Comaltepec on a relatively good dirt road which was being repaired while we traveled on it . From Comaltepec there is a road leading towards Santos Reyes Papalo into another ridge. We tried taking this road but couldn't get more than a couple miles because of a flood-swollen stream which crossed the road. This would be a good road to take in the dry season as it would allow entry to area localities upstream between Cerro Pelon and Santos Reyes Papalo to the NW. A map of the road follows : Cerro Pelon 6.1 mi. Machin river 2.2 mi. to Yolox <- 0.4 mi. Comaltepec -> 1.2 Mi. 4.7 mi. turn off to 5.8 mi. Maquiltianguis Maquiltianguis Oaxaca
