Ajuseo 
Bee. IS - We moved ®&iap to Ajuseo just under the tall peak of the 
seme name. The altitude of the peak is 13,621 feet) that of the Till- 
age about 9,600. Eero we remained four days during which time I made 
trips to the main mountain principally. A large share of the country 
hereabout is covered with beds of volcanic sand and lava beds. 
Vegetation* Leaving flalpam and beginning the ascent we passed

taken from Tlalpam. Sftacy* ) At least two species are common. A 
large, long-tailed one free high up on the volcano and a smaller yellow

the same or similar to the on© from place just mentioned, ArvlcoXa* 
Common in favored places. The country generally appears to b© too dry 
for them. The few specimens taken were from near the top of ridge just 
east of main peak (about bunches of saecaton) and from a damp weedy spot 
in a canon on the north slope of volcano. Sorer* A single specimen was 
trapped from same spot as Arvioolas from north slope of volcano. 
Program Very common everywhere about the village and high up on the 
volcano. Skunk tracks wore soon but none obtained. The. ground was 
rooted up in many places presumably by them.
