W. Primmer 1950 Journal 1 May Mexico: Guerrero: 3 mi. W O miltena, 8200 ft. Guard and cook today. Put up two rats taken in trap line and two garter snakes taken by Pitetha in areas below camp. I found and [illegible] in camp while looking for a mouse skull I accidentally tossed out. Just before dark Koford and I reset our joint trap line a short distance downstream and partly a short distance up slope from original. Again 25 specials, 3 Schmuglers, 1 steel. After dark I found one more of the Batrochrops-like salamanders in a rotten log and together we found five amurs in and near stream, of two species. 2 May In morning before leaving this locality I put up a rat taken in our new trap line and also a very young Gerhornotus taken in camp area. These Gerhornotus are very reminiscent of coruleus of the Bay Area. About noon drove to Chilpancingo taking two new Sceloporus near O miltena and a still different salamander near Chilpancingo. Then continued on to Acapulco for night. On way to coast captured an Oxybelis on the road. Between Chilpancingo and Acapulco one passes through arid forest and thorn scrub - much like chapparal (very brown and dry at this season). Acapulco itself appears much like Hermosa Beach or Newport in So. Calif.
