The most interesting of all is, of course, the Chondro- 
poma vinalensis, of which we only found a few bones* The most 
abundant were Alcadia sagrainana and Entrochatella regina, of 
which we got a large number. 
On our way back we stopped at the first mogote between 
the Peurta and Vinales on the east side of the road* Here 
we also took quite a lot of shells and quite a lot of liguus. 
Simpson went to the next mogote south of this one, also on 
the east side of the road, and picked up a few things. <®e

us on the road, intendint to meet us. I was dead tired and

pictures in our passage. We left all our luggage with 
Piar( Josei a prosperous farmer at the Bath. After pay- 
ing our respects to the family we set out for the cliffs 
nearby. We passed a cave, then worked up a gorge beyond 
it. Here we saw a pair of huge woodpeckers, suggesting 
our ivory-bill. We returned to the cave - that is, 
Henderson and I, about noon, and found that Clapp had 
found five living specimens of Chondropoma vinalensis. 
This is said to be more than have ever been found before. 
Took a swim in the cave and then returned to the house 
for luncheon. After luncheon we returned to the place 
where Clapp had made the find, and hunted over the whole
