D.A Good 1980 Journal 18 December Huixtla to Berriozabal, Chiapas Up 0630. We left Huixtla ca. 0700 + followed the following route: Huixtla to Annaga, Chiapas on Rte 200, then N from Annaga to Rte 190. Then E on Rte 190 to Berriozabal. From Berriozabal we drove N to "el pozo de petroleo" (to which we had to ask directions). The exact locality is given in the catalogue. We arrived here ca. 1530 after having made stops along the route for ice, food, etc. On arriving at the site, which consists of fairly mature tropical forest in the process of being destroyed, Ed and Duke set out traps and I looked for lizards until dusk. I found 2 Bolitoglossa sp. under banana stales (DAG 304 +305). I also came across 1 lizard (Sceloporus sp?) under the bank of a fallen tree but it escaped. I hope to get more Salamanders and lizards tomorrow. After dusk we set up camp + had supper, etc.; etc. We also set up 1 bat net and by the time these moths were written (2030) we caught [illegible] Birds seen today at el pozo de petroleo are only Wilson's Walter and Stripe-tailed Hummingbird. Several other birds were heard but not seen and I was quite busy looking for salamanders. While walking back to the car about dusk, I heard an alarm note of some bird and on looking up I caught a glimpse of a medium size owl flying off with what looked like something in its talons. The temp. here in the evening at least is quite cool. After writing the above note, I stepped outside the tent + heard several Pauraque calling from various directions.
