W. Riemer 1953 Journal 29 June Meyico: Chilulvalua; 7 mi. S W El Vergel (Elaguinta), 7800 ft. During evening local lumbermen and their Indian helpers visited for several hours and exchanged songs. 30 June Entire morning spent in putting up mammals and birds. During late afternoon a search of stream and will side areas down canyon produced 1 Hyla arenicolor, Sceloporus jarrovi, Buflo sp., a Thamnophis rufipunctatus and another elegans-like species, a Cuneates and Hyla spinia. A single junco was taken. In the camp area Zweifel took a Eleutherdactylus after dawn in a rocky out crop. A nativie brought in a S. poinssetti. Today the first rain heavy enough to moisten all of surface soil occurred. Showers are short but on this occasion heavy. We are hoping more rains will come to bring out animals. 1 July - 5 July Camp was maintained at same site in Arroyo Cuevo Blanco. On 3 July Zweifel & I drove to end of road (at Lomas Lomas Ranch). This road is eventually supposed to proceed to Rio Verde (town)? and then to Guadalupe y Calvo according to a construction sign at El Vergel. During walks down tributary arroyo of the Rio Verde we collect only a small group of snakes, (3 Thamnophis) and a water ouzel. S. jarrovi were everywhere
