W. Riner 1953 Journal 9 July Mexico: Durango: 6mi. WSW to Adajuntas, 8588 ft. in openings of forest. A Phrynozoma be found on forest floor. Rains fell in late afternoon and no anphibian calls heard during evening. 10 July My day as campguard. Hunting during morning by other party members netted only a few Scalopous and one R. pipiens. Poor hunting due probably to low temperatures caused by half-heated sun shining through high overcast. Rains skipped mid afternoon and waited until early evening and fell for the first time during the night. Afternoon hunting produced a large C. triseriata, 2 piquy muthatches, one large flycatcher. In evening captured Peromyscus in tent and later 2 more. 11 July Mexico: Durango & Sinaloa Morning spent preparing specimens and breaking camp. During afternoon drove west toward Magatlan. Many places to camp near streams, rocky ledges, meadows and similar spots present beyond our camp at El Borango. Road currently passes through La Cuidad before reaching crest. Extremely heavy rains falling at La Cuidad and just prior to the town and rain we spent several minutes collecting in an extensive meadow area and its pine-forest edges. Hyla eximia abundant
