Kaulen, James 1978 Journal vicinity of Totontepec (out of Milla) Oaxaca, Mexico 3.4 July ~ 30 miles to Milla . Heading through Milla , one then continues on a dirt road towards Zicatapa Mixes (or referred to as Mex Hwy 190). The road is graded dirt , and one stays on it for ~ 54 miles through several towns a sign indicating a left turn towards Totontepec . From here another dirt road climbs a bit , and then begins its descent to the Caribbean lowlands . Totontepec lies ~ 15 mi NE of the turnoff , at 1955 m. Ascending to the turnoff (2570 m) one passes from the arid Oaxaca Valley through pine - tan oak forest (reminiscent of that on C. San Felipe ), especially around the town of Tamazulapan (2130 m el ) and finally to increasingly wetter , more dense, taller cloud forest, very similar to C. Pelon . Dropping down to Totontepec one passes through the wet cloud forest and passes several waterfalls and creeks draining the mountain . Here and there the road gets very muddy . On the afternoon Yesterday afternoon we worked at a slope in the rain at 13.6 mi NE Tamazulapan (2570 m.) and found nothing . This is also the site of a stream crossing the road and a clear pool 10-20' across. This might be one of Campbell's aquatic species localities but we never had a chance to return here last night, although we searched it in vain today .
