O. Stacey 1977 98. Dec. contd. Dry scrub to moist tropical forest is abrupt. Saw some flowering trees in this area. Arrived in Cuatlapan at 2:30 and saw Carlos Carron, delivering Dave Wake's Christmas gift. We (tried to) talk for some few minutes, then he accom- pañied us to the Diphylla cave part way up Cerro Clucacuatla. According to him, the name is La Cueva de la Tempiquigle - named after a local tree. We approached this time from below the cave - a much easier way to find it. I discovered that I had only a 1 ½ volt "Holly Battery" with me so was left with only a faint orange glow 2" from the bulb. We managed to net 6 Desmodes, one a suckling of a ?. It looked as if much dirt had washed in as the ceiling was much lower than I remembered. Returned to town & had a coke. Paid Carlos $50 for his help then left ~ 3:45. Drove into Fortin for gas & got goodies to eat. Returned out the Fortin libre Rd. to the bridge over Barranca de San Miguel where we went R onto a dirt road leading into Cuhatemac Park. 2.3 km up this a slight road leads off to the R, where we set 4:30 net (see facing). This done by 6:15 when it was all but dark. The area is second growth, 3 story wet forest w/ many trees in fruit at this time of year. It grades to open.
