1893 
Tulaneingo Tulanoingo several days -with rather poor success; only a few Sltceays, 
probably same as those taken at Pachuea, and an opossum or two. usd a 
Spiloaalo. Then I made a trip to the H acienda Santa Ana on top of the 
divide hetman Tulanoingo and Tops, There I did fairly -well until 
August 25th. Sear the Hacienda were pine and oak covered hills with 
dense fir woods near their tegs. The Hacienda buildings stand on a 
plain which is nearly circular in fossa, its diameter probably 10 or 12 
« 
.rile e in the middle is a basin in which is a lake of considerable extent. 
The whole is surrounded by low Mils covered with timber like those just 
described, % this lake in the winter ore many water birds, I was told 
at the Hacienda. At the time of ay visit I saw non© at all.

which makes it a favored country for jack rabbits. They were, howevwp 
not very eosaon and 1 had to spend two whole afternoons tramping in 
or dor to get taro specimens, 1 saw several others but they started up 
out of range of ay gun. Both specimens I killed wars very large and 
wore of the white- sided spool© s, 
Qm day I made a trip to the Cueva do la Hublina, a largo cave in

1 started early with one of the workman at the Hacienda who said he 
knew where the cava was, but it turned out that he did not, and if we 
had not fallen is with me of the most eros of the hacienda we would 
probably not have found it. The cave is situated in tbs pine woods just 
off the Hacienda. Uothlng is soon of it at a distance of 10 yards from 
the mouth which is situated in a thick slump of bushes. Entering the 
bushes, I found a hole about, twenty feet in diameter which led straight 
down with perpendicular walls like a well for about 30 feet, I climbed 
down a rickety old pine pole with notches cut in its sides for stops,
