Hanken, James 1976 Journal Southwestern Research Station, Chiracahua Mtns, Portal, Arizona 1 Aug 6 August (cont'd) via Acagüela and Atoyac. Thorius presumably are found there as Adler has collected 3 new salamanders, 2 Pseudot + 1 Bolitoglossa, and Howard Freeman has spent time in the area. Unfortunately I panicked about the fate of our liquid nitrogen which was low on in Veracruz and decided it was best to leave Guerrero with the one sample which we had and not risk losing all the others in the container. Hopefully Ted will get a sample from Puerco del Callo when he is in Teopan looking for Biges. We spent ~1 hr. with Ted and Bob at Maria's Bike Biper locality along the Rio Balsas before continuing on to Veracruz. We stopped ~ 40 mi. N of Chilpancingo to try to capture a Ctenosaurus which we saw from the road but were unsuccessful. Doug, however, did find a small gecko under a rock. We went to Veracruz via Acaxtle and Cuyuca de Matacotes, avoiding the mountains around Mexico City as well as the city itself. Arriving in Cuautitlan into evening to collect one jar. We received 2 Xenosaurus and one B. platydactyla which René Grou collected for us around Miguel's house. We paid for them and returned to Fortin
