Aguacate  Two wild species seen in Upper Tropical forest near Omilteme. One with globular, greenish fruit about 1 3/4 inches through and the other with pear-shaped, black fruit about 1 1/2 inches long and 3/4 of an inch through.

May, 25. Chilpancingo, Guerrero. returned from Omilteme to Chilpancingo.

May, 26. Tixtla, Guerrero.
In the afternoon I went from  to Chilpancingo to Tixtla to look for Otocoris and Sturnella. The distance is about 3 hours. The road leads up and across a high ridge covered with the thorny leaved fern palm which grows everywhere about the valley of Chilpancingo.
Stopped in Tixtla at the meson of Luis Suarez. During the evening he assured me there were no fleas or bed bugs but soon after retiring I began to feel that something was wrong and on alighting a match found six or eight bed bugs and as many fleas between the sheets. Fortunately I had some flea powder and after thoroughly sprinkling the sheets soon fell asleep. 

May, 27  Chilpancingo, Guerrero
The morning was spent in exploring the vicinity of Tuxlta in the afternoon
