San Cristobal to Bochil, Chiapas
1 December
(cont)
To Tuxtla Gutierrez to look for gas. We arrived here 1410 and, as it turned out, could only find Nova which we were forced to accept for lack of anything else. We then drove back up E from Tuxtla on Pte 190 and then N on the road to Villa Hermosa.
As it was approaching time to set out traps, we stopped at Bochil (villacity) 1510. Duke + Ed then set out traps (40 each) while I looked for lizards (+ found more). I returned 1700 + Duke + Ed soon afterward. We then skinned mice, had supper, finished preparing specimens, and wrote field notes. I skinned the Arthribius from Berroyábol.
I saw only 1 Pink-headed Warbler at the San Cristobal locality and nothing this afternoon after we stopped.
Weather this morning cold w/ stiff breeze from the E, clear. This afternoon + evening cool, cloudy, windy.
Habitat at Bochil pine forest w/ dense shrubby understory. Dense shrubs at margins as well, slopes of 30-40°. Pine forest ± cut over. We camped on a large pile of gravel.
Bochil to Rayon, Chiapas
22 December
Up 0700 and out to look for salamanders in bromeliads, I found more and returned 0750. As soon as Duke + Ed returned with the traps and their catch (several Beremypus oaxacensis and a Reithrodontiums) we packed up + left since it was miserable weather. We drove N toward Villa Hermosa and stopped 0950 for breakfast 5.3 mi. S of Rayon (see catalogue). Duke then decided to stay there and skin mice while we did until ca. 1430. Ca. 1300 Duke took a break
