May 8, Near Copala, Guerrero. Made a trip today about 10 miles in a south-easterly course to a place called Las Salinas on the coast where I found several of the round houses and a black population. Large quantities of salt are being made at Las Salinas. I secured the photos and started back at 4:15 P.M. and spent the night near Copola.

Diplopterus
Sturnella Two or three were heard singing on the grassy plains between Copola and Las Salinas.

Transcription Notes:
The "Giant Ceiba" of El Ceibal, Mexico - I believe the writer was talking about the "Giant Ceiba" when he wrote " Ginte Ceiba" There is nothing that comes up when you put in GINTE. I tried "leriba", "lesiba", and "criba"for the second word, then tried "ceiba" and that is a kind of tree.
