December 28, 1926 - Today we spent seven hours on mule back going from Divisaderos to the Manzanilla Estate, now the hacienda of LA Swanquist. We had lunch at Santa Rosa and reached our destination after dark. December 29, 1926 - George D. Stilton and our mose Jose rode due west of the Hacienda house to Serio Mogote mountain where Jose had killed Canis No. 18258 several days ago. I rode south with a native hunter and guide to a wooded mountain area supposed to be inhabited by picaries. We followed the rocky ravines from one water hole to another all day and only once did I see a place where it looked as if something had wallowed in the mud. This was under a low shady bush or tree near a water hole. I saw many deer tracks but saw no deer. While resting near a water hole I saw a squirrel Sciurus v. variogatosides. It rained a few drops during the P.M.
