W.Reiner 1950 Journal 25 Apr. Mexico: Dayaca: — Broke camp near Diftan because of lack of suitable spot in which to camp away from the hordes of people. Spot near Cerro San Felipe selected as new camp but abandoned in a few hours because of unfavorable steep terrain, heavy population and excessive agricul- tural use of land. Drove in afternoon to spot 150 mi. from Puebla where camped for night. 26 Apr. Mexico: Distrito Federal: — Drove into Puebla and on to Mexico City in morning stopping only to pick up a Pittoophis near Mexico City. Stayed in city for night. 27 Apr. Mexico: Guerrero: 3 mi. W Omiltepe, 8200 ft. Leaving Mexico City early, drove S directly to Chilpancingo, then west on a very rough steep dirt road to this locality on the ridge above Omiltepe. Between Mexico City and Cuernavaca one climbs over a ridge & mountains with much good pine forest and tall grasses. Beyond Cuernavaca the terrain is all overworked and overgrazed. The road, though paved, is not smooth anywhere. Chilpancingo lies in an arid valley of almost barren land. Rising up on the way to this locality one passes quickly into a palmetto zone which persists some time until one reaches oaks and pines. Omiltepe is a lumber mill town well up in the pines.
