Hall Helps Write Report On Mexican Animal Imagine a breed of squirrels with so strong a predilection for rocks that they play on newly formed lava beds that are still emitting vapors and heat. Your imagination needn't be stretched, for such a rock squirrel exists. It is one of the 85 kinds of wild animals described in "Mammals of Michoacan, Mexico," a 41-page publication released today by the museum of natural history in Dyche hall. The authors are Dr. E. Raymond Hall, director of the K. U. museum, and Prof. Bernardo Villa-Ramirez, mammalogist of the Institute of Biology at the University of Mexico, Mexico City. The project, begun in 1943, was financed by the Guggenheim foundation. Dr. Hall began the first of two field trips just a few days after the new and still active volcano, Paracutin, started erupting. The state Michoacan, in which Paracutin is located, is about 75 miles west of Mexico City. The report states: Collecting of mammals in Michoacan is difficult since the towering white plume of this rapidly heightening volcanic cone. Frequently our traps were thickly dusted with its wind-borne ash." Most kinds of animals in the vicinity of the volcano were annihilated by the lava and thick deposits of volcanic ash. However the rock squirrels survived and were observed running over the still warm lava. The administration of the then President Lazaro Gardenas encouraged analysis of the natural resources of the various regions of the Mexican republic. Dr. Hall was invited to study one resource, the native wild animals. He and Professor Villa, later came to K. U. to assist in completion of the report, found 85 kinds. They range in size from the tiny shrew, smaller than a man's little finger, to the white-tailed deer, larger than a sheep. The Indians use many of the animals for food. The report was published simultaneously in Spanish and English, will later be issued in Tarascan, the language of the Indians living in Michoacan. The Cardenas plan was for all resource-studies to be published in the language of the Indians of the region. Photographer for the expedition was Mrs. Mary F. Hall. The three Hall sons were along also. In some remote parts of the country, the Halls found the Tarascans un友riendly. But they gave no serious trouble because they were poorly Smith College Girls Know Their Diamonds Northampton, Mass.—(U.P.)—When her sweetheart gives a Smith college girl an engagement ring, the diamond had better be good.

The word, "coyote," is the same in Spanish, English and one Indian tongue, the report reveals. Coyote is an Aztec word, borrowed by the Spanish-speaking Mexicans and in turn taken over by the English-speaking Americans. The Tarascan Indian name for coyote, "hewatz," was unknown to the Aztecs of eastern Michoacan. They understood the English word used by Dr. Hall better than they did the Indian word used by the next door neighbors to the west, the Tarascans.
