Hauken, James 1974 Journal Hotel Mayorga, Fatin de la Flores, Est. Veracruz, Mexico 25 July Been in January in the "Dry" season. (cont'd) 25 July - No collecting !! Day of Rest — 26 July Doug and I visited Roy McDiarmid's localities on either side of Huatusco where he collected one or two Thelma several years ago. One locality is 4 3/4 mi SW (Huatusco), the other ~1 mi NE. Both localities are pastoral-looking areas w/scattered large oak trees scattered among lush green grass used for grazing cattle. It reminds one of the inner-coast ranges in Napa or Mendocino Co's but that generally disappear when you look more closely and see the abundant bromeliad on the trees and that realize that these areas have been previously cleared from denser forest as is present nearby. We spent 1/2 hr looking at each locality and found no amphibians whatsoever, the ground feeling relatively dry compared to the Cuallapan area. We did find a few Sceloporus, one Scincella, and several small slender snakes w/dark ground color and a yellow neck ring. This is compared to McDiarmid's taking only amphibian when he collected here. From Huatusco we continued on
