Hankel, James 1978 Journal attempt to visit Santo Tomas Teipan, Oaxaca, Mexico 30 June-1 July terista in myself made us decide to return to Oaxaca that morning. By Santo Tomas Teipan is apparently a dry season locality 10 miles W of San Vicente Lachigiro 2 July My aforementioned case of terista blossomed sweetly upon our return to Oaxaca, and we thought it best that I stay in " today and recover while Brad visited San Vicente alone. He had poor luck, collecting only 4 animals where 2 years ago Walz, Lynch, etc. collected over 60. What gives? He said that the locality is good for salamander collecting: abundant fallen logs, bark, etc, as a result of lumbering. Also, the road is OK. He did get 4 lizards (similar to those from W of Teapila), a couple of Gerrhonotus (Barine?) snakes, and several snakes, and a shrew. See his notes for details. 3-4 July vicinity of Toltepec (out of Milla), Oaxaca, Mexico We left yesterday to visit several localities supplied by Jonathan Campbell of U of Texas where he, last April, collected thorns and seeds, including an aquatic fern. One gets there by taking the Pan-American Highway (Mex 13) out of Oaxaca
