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.
