Mixed Diglossini, Apr. 16, 1965 XI  

[[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]]
IX. In the Prime Eucalypts, visiting Humers become involved in  hostilities among themselves and with the resident individuals of the same species. The form of the hostile patterns seems to be the same on very similar in both visitors and residents. 

[[left margin]] Coer Laf Humer [[/left margin]]
X. When visiting the Prime Eucalypts, both the Coers and Laf(s) become involved in hostilities with Humers. Probably Humer is somewhat dominant over Coers. Probably Laf(s) is (are) dominant over Humers. But the Humers do not treat Coers in just the same way as they would other members of their own species. Probably do not attack Coers as frequently as they would other members of their own species. (I don't know that I have ever seen a Coer attack a Humer.) The Humers probably also tend to leave Lafs alone. (But they probably would have another Humer alone if it was as big as a Laf.) Lafs supplant Humers in the Prime Eucalypts, but I am not sure that such supplanting is ever hostile. I have not seen any definite, unmistakeable, reaction between a known Laf and Coers in the Prime Eucalypts.

NOTE: Re the apparently greater gregariousness of Diglossines here than in the Sierra de Mérida. The weather here during the last two days has been much worse than the weather around Mérida during my last visit. 

April 17, 1965 
Paramó de Guasca

Arrive place which is, I think, where I saw many Lafs, 1 Humer, Rufs, etc., in 1962.  6:50 am. Already light. Cloudy. Looks like rain at any minute.
