Feb. 5 Los Reyes, Michoacan, 
We moved today from Patamban to Los Reyes, a distance of about 12 leagues in a southerly course. 
Road skirted the north-west base of the Cerro de Patamban for a number of miles and then descended gradually to Tinguindin. From Tinguindin we continued to descend through pine and oak woods of rather confusing species which appear to end only a short distance above Los Reyes. There was little to indicate zone boundaries. Los Reyes is tropical and at Tinguindin, bananas, coffee, aguacates, and other tropical fruits are raised. 
Sialia Along base of Cerro de Patamban.
Volcanic cones. A member of volcanic, cone shaped hills with broken out crater, could be seen in the valleys below us.
