70. Straney 1977 103 11 Dee, cont'd. and one dead Spilogale - not a bad mammal road! 12 Dee. Arraga, Mex. to Tuxtla Gutierrez, this- up at 7:40, Sam awakened earlier by a screaming vito in the next room. Breakfast at the hotel. Then drove up to Tuxtla rising abruptly into the Altos. The forest above Arraga is tropical deciduous forest. Once on the "Plateau" of the Altos, ran into a torch carrying relay with boys spread every 100 ft. and a bus picking them off & dropping them off up ahead. Arrived Tuxtla around noon. Got a lunzalow at Hotel Bonompek for $155 and then a rather expensive lunch. Went back up to Berruzabal to drive up to Jerry Johnson's salamander site in cloud forest. The road is difficult to find leaving the town, but is the road to "La Pera", and oil well site 8mi byrd N of Berruzabal (see map). Got there ~2 and I processed while Sam started with the nets. I helped later & all nets up by 5. I continued to process until 1/2 hr past sunset. All beats caught in one net (lowest down on main trail (one in another net), All beats caught by 7:30. Very dissapointed in the turn out. Nets up by 8:30 & returned to Tuxtla. Sam had eaten some beans from the field at "La Pera" and
