Journal Hafner, M.S. 1977 Monte Albán, 1850 m., Oaxaca, Mexico 8 August 0630 awoke and drove to check traps. Results: 7 Liomys irroratus (1 released) 1 Baiomys sp. musculus (released) Success: 8/100 The liomys were captured in some of the densest vegetation on the hillside. They were caught in 'clusters' of 2-3 individuals also. The dominant vegetation was thorn-forest type (Mesquite, Acacia, Opuntia) and much dense annual grass in places. 0745 drove further up the road to the Monte Albán ruins (Zapotec & Mixtec cultures) to take photographs. We were the only visitors to the entire ruins for the first ½ hours so we had the opportunity to take some nice photographs uncluttered by people. 0900 drove back into Oaxaca, where we had breakfast - typical slow, unconcerned service. We then exchanged money at a local bank. Upon our return to the car we found that a VW had pinned-us-in by double-parking behind us.
