Ojo de Agua, Veracruz
31 December (cont).
checked them for birds. We caught more although this
was not unexpected since they were set out for bats later in
the evening and were not in a good place for birds—too
much in the open. After supper (ca. 1845) I went out with
a lantern looking for salamanders + Basiliscus but, as usual,
found none although Dave, on an earlier trip, had found [illegible] a
Basiliscus here. Toward evening several locals came down
out of the hills with loads of palm fruits (?) and ca. 1730
a group of locals from Fortín de las Flores (including one American)
came up to swim in the pool at the source of the Atzoyuc. They
left again shortly after dark.
