However, among other things, one of th 
told me that 
there were vezy aany young ladies in Zapotlaa who would like to get 
married and on ny ashing why th® young ta® did not marry them, he 
replied that none of the young men in Zapotlan eared, to get married, 
adding that the young men were too dissipated and had no confidence 
in the faithfulness of the girls. Enough in itself to offset any 
favorable impression they might have otherwise raised. 
The morning after we reached the snow gatherers* camp we rode up 
on a high rids at the base of the peak at the summit, reaching an 
altitude of about 13,500 feet from which, across a gulf of 6 or 8 
miles, we saw the cons of the Volcan de Fuego and got a slight view 
of its crater, as it is only about 12,000 feet high. 
The sura s it where we stood is covered, on all slopes where loose 
matter can rest, by a deep layer of volcanic ashes and fragments of 
pumice thrown over here by th© volcano# The min mountain shows 
no sign of ever having been a crater, although of volcanic origin. 
A strange thing was b§ r finding signs of a hare above timberline 
on the summit of this mountain. Whether this is a relative of the 
northern berms mshingtoni or not is hard to say, but there is no 
animal of this genus living in the adjacent wooded belts lower down 
the mountain. 
It now drew near good Friday and my Mexican friends and the 
servants Insisted on returning to ZapotIan, so I was forced to re- 
tram there and leave the work unfinished to be completed on another 
trip* Thus paying for the volunteer companionship,- a lesson I am 
not likely to need a second time. I found Splums cervical is common 
in the oaks about tire lower half of the mountain.
