W. Rainer 1950 Journal 5 Apr. Mexico: Chiapas: 28 mi. ESE Comitan, 4900 ft., San Jose track certainly impassable in wet weather but firm and dry today. It is used by just enough vehicles to keep it evident as a road in many places. Beyond Comitan it passes through overgrazed grasslands and pine-grass parkland. This parkland must be very beautiful in the late wet season. At present it is dry and brownish. Near San Jose it adds a tropical touch in the form of islands of jingly vegetation and such is present especially along the water courses. Beyond Comitan the weather was very strange in that a high but dense haze hung over the entire landscape making the hills only about five miles distant nearly invisible. Just a dusk a heavy downpour occurred at camp turning the road to slippery mud. The rain lasted perhaps a half-hour or slightly more. Immediately prior to the rain I took two sorts of Hylla in camp. After the rain found a Ranit in a stream pool. 7 Apr. In morning worked downstream toward lake to our N. Did not go far. Took an Aphelecoma unicolor, Coloptes cafer, Myiarchus and a Contopus pertinax. Weather was cloudy and poor for reptiles
