W. Riemer 1950 Journal 13 apr. Mexico: Chiapas: 28 mi. ESE Comitan, 4900 ft., San Jose large plants (3 ft. in dia.) and about a half- dozzen smaller plants. Found no vertebrates. Had set a string of 10 museum special traps near stream course in dense jungle growth near camp. No catch by bedtime, 14 apr. Camp guard and coole today. Put up skins all day. Saw a Eunicea in semi-shade in grass in camp during mid-day hour but could not catch. Found freshwater crab under rock in dry pool in stream. No catch in traps this morning though one trap sprung and dragged a short distance. 15 apr. At dawn Koford and I walked to jungle area beyond Montebello. Arrived about 0900. Hunted until shortly before 1300 in jungle growth and then returned to camp to put up skins. In jungle I took a solitaire, a toucan and a sparrow feeding on branches of tree (Arenocopa) On return to camp took two Sceloporus of two species and two Anolis in mixed semi- open woods. Also took two cactus wrens, No catch in trap line by stream bed. 16 apr. Spent day in camp shriming birds. Pitelka brought in a green coluber for me. Koford and I set out new trap line in dry stream bed a short distance downstream from camp. A native informs us that a terrapin lives in one of the nearby lakes.
