LIDICKER 1958 (July 19 cont.) Liomya - 1 (Lady & Shelly are in bottom) Shot a Cremidophorus around camp. After skinning Naomi & I drove the car to La Palma: 1.4 mi. off Arroyo Soto turnoff to S for .5 mi to La Palma. Here we parked the wagon & walked 5 out of town. We continued S 40 min. or more. Collected a Cremidophorus about 1 mi. S La Palma, 13 mi NE Jalpa, Zac. We talked to a number of local residents in this area & none of them knew of any cave nearby although a couple thought there might be some much further to the S in the mountains - which could be seen but were much further than an afternoon walk away. We returned to camp & then walked to Arroyo Soto for a lunch. Earlier another fellow named A. Soto stopped in a blue pickup & chatted. He had lived in Brawley, Calif., & + knew some English. He now lived in Coliillo. Set out 30 trips in canyon & along slopes: 15 trips along a rock wall; 1 set trip by a fresh looking hole along a path; 35 additional trips in the canyon but those mostly in tropical area with lush vegetation; 1 trap by dips looking hole on grossy flat; + finally 20 traps on dry gravelly hillside with some yuccas. Total. traps = 102. Did not see any bats in evening. Saw 1 Catellus variegatus along edge of canyon in afternoon.
