Excerpt from Journal of a Residence and Tour in the Republic of Mexico in the Year 1826, Vol. 2 of 2: With Some Account of the Mines of That Country The whole of this Cuesta is thickly wooded by the broad-leaved oak for the lower half, and towards the summit by fine pines and the Encino, on whose branches I remarked abundance of para sitic plants, particularly two kinds which closely resembled our English misletoe. In the course of my day's ride I observed above thirty trees of tall firs and oaks lying Split and shivered to the ground by lightning. Woodpeckers of many beautiful varieties here abounded, particularly the species with a scarlet crest, and a very large kind nearly the size of a Bantam fowl.
