E. Heske 1980 Journal San Cristobal to 3.9 mi NE Bochil, Chiapas, Mexico. dec. cont. Glance - seemed to be some mature pine/broadleaf forest patches (although lots of agricultural activity nearby). However, the pines proved to be thinly scattered and the vegetation around camp was mostly very dense secondary growth (brush, vines, young broadleaf trees). I set 40 traps in the secondary growth near camp (w/ much difficulty) in a line towards the forest, but never reached it. Duke also set 40 traps - Shermans baited w/ hen scratch, as usual. 10 were set in the secondary growth, 30 were set in the woods on the opposite side of camp from where I set my traps. He says the pines were still very thin, lots of dense understory, not many logs or rocks - see D.S. Rogel's notes for fuller description. After dinner, prepared study specimens from the 9 dead Peromyscus w/ Duke + David. Heavy overcast again; full moon sometimes seen through break in clouds. Warmer than last night, ~15°C. Turned in ~2130. Elev. here is about 1200 m. 39 mi NE Bochil to 4.9 mi SE of Rayón, Chiapas, Mexico December Arose ~0630. Heavy mist, slight rain. Everything is soaking wet (ie. tent sleeping bag, + soon to be me.) Traplines in dense secondary only yielded 4 Peromyscus. Species difficult to discern, may be oaxacensis. Duke caught 1 Reithrodontomys fulvescens and
