I took our camp man and made a long day's ride around the west end of the ridge called the Cerro de Tancitaro to look for moist tropical [[canons?]] issuing from the south side. We went nearly to the town of Tancitaro without finding any [[canons?]]. The total distance covered was between 50 and 60 miles.

Road led about three leagues to the town of Periban, situated in nearly tropical country at the lower edge of the pines on the north slope of the Cerro de Tancitaro. From Periban we climbed gradually for about two hours to the little indian town of Apo, at the base of the west end of the main mountain mass, [[thence?]] we continued nearly to Tancitaro, close to the base of the south slope. 

Feb. 20. Periban, Michoacan.
Left Los Reyes about 9 A.M. with outfit and moved to Periban from which point we hope to be able to work the Cerro de Tancitaro. Arrived about noon.

In the afternoon I rode up the easy slope back of the town, nearly to the base of the mountain mass, and set two gopher traps.

Feb. 21. Remained at Peribau.
A trip was made, up on the north slope, of the Cerro de Tancitaro to set traps. It took us two hours to reach the base of the main mountain and about an hour more to ascend to about 10000 feet altitude among the firs, oaks and pines. Traps were set in the forest among the lower firs and we returned to Peribau late in the afternoon.
