1927
Volcano Santa Ana, Dept, Sonsonate, Salvador
May 1-5 - from Hacienda
Chilata to Volcano Santa Ana.
May 6, 1927 - Yesterday
we reached Santa Ana and
went up to the finca Las Cruces
where I took a mule and
rode on up to the finca Santa
Maita where our camp was
located. The region through
which I passed is the
oldest coffee region in Salvado.
Santa Maita is located at
an altitude of 4500 feet on
a more or less plateau region
which is dotted with steep
round wooded hills which
were undoubtedly at one
time volcanos like Santa Ana
and Hualco are now. Cerro
Los Naranjos is the nearest
of these mountains to the
finca Santa Maita. This
mountain is very damp and at
this time of the year, it is
quite heavily wooded but
not covered parasitic growths
and ferns like Los Escamiles.
Also, the trees are not as
large. Nyctomys No. 12891, and
Peromyscus, Nos. 12892 to 12897 inclusive
were taken on Cerro Los Naranjos
today. Last night I heard
bats flying in our room, so
I got up and closed the door.
