Rayon, chipus to Acayucan, Veracruz:
23 December (cont') we found a hotel ca. 1800. After supper we sheinned
the few mice that had died during the day (out of the ca.
98 we were carrying).
Weather ± clean this morning, cool w/some wind.
Warm but not stiffling in the lowlands.
The marshlands of Tabasco and Veracruz were laden
with egrets, herons, jacanas, snail kites, roadside hawks,
etc.
Checked the salamanders this evening-all seem to be
doing well.
Acayucan, Veracruz
24 December Stayed in the hotel + leanyotyped + prepared specimens all
day.
Acayucan to Playa Escondida, Catemaco, Veracruz
25 December Up 0830 and packed car + burned mice till ca. 1100.(check
out time was 1200). We then left + drove W to Catemaco
where we stopped for gas + fruit and then on to Playa
Escondida which we reached mid-afternoon. We had something
to eat at the restaurant and then, since it was raining + cold,
we decided to stay inside + prepare specimens instead of
set traps. We therefore worked until ca. 2100 and prepared
21 specimens.
