  • Notes on Summer Birds of Guerrero
    Jan., 1944 9 _ NOTES ON SUMMER BIRDS OF GUERRERO By WILLIAM B. DAVIS The paucity of information concerning the birds of the Mexican state of Guerrero (see Griscom, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 75, 1934:367-422, and Auk, 54, 1937:192-199) seems to warrant the recording of information gathered in that state by the expedition of 1942 of the Department of Fish and Game, Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. Our interest was divided about equally between the mammals and birds of the region, and due to limited time, the collections were neither as large nor as representa- tive as desired. Even so, we were able to preserve 153 specimens of 67 species, four of which seemingly constitute additions to the state list. These are Colymbus dominicws brachyptevus, Heterocnus cabanisi, Crocethia albp, and Progne chalybea chalybea. Most of the birds taken had previously been reported in Guerrero, and consequently I have limited my remarks about them to such topics as abundance, habits, breeding condition, and weights, which supplement the printed record. COLLECTING STATIONS (1) Rio Aguacatillo, 30 km. N Acapulco, 1000 feet, August 3-14. Collecting was done within a radius of two miles, except for one trip on August 14 to Laguna Coyuca. Collecting was done at the Laguna ( 12-22 km. NW Acapulco) and en route to and from camp. Collecting also was done on August 3, en route to the camp from Mexico. City, at El Naranjo, Rincon, Tierra Colorada (at Rio Papagayo j , and along the Rio Xolapa. Our camp at Rio Aguacatillo was near the village of El Treinta.

  • 3 Profile of Taxco De Alarcón
    3 Profile of Taxco de Alarcón By now, Mexico´s political, economic and socio-cultural context that is of importance for the silversmith business in Taxco has been analyzed. In the following section, a profile of Taxco and its federal state Guerrero will be presented in order to place the silversmith industry in its concrete context of operation. 3.1 Population and Location According to the latest census the state Guerrero has 3 338 768 inhabitants (INEGI, 2014b). Fifty-eight percent of the population in Guerrero live in urbanized regions, while 42% live on the countryside (INEGI, 2014c). The state has a lot of cultural diversity. There live approximately 600 000 indigenous people in Guerrero, dividing themselves in four different tribes and languages: Mixtecos, Amuzgos, Tlapanecos and Nahuas (Guerrero Gobierno del Estado 2011-2015, 2014). In Taxco, the population also is diverse, since the town has experienced a lot of immigration ever since its foundation as a mining center by the Spaniards. Furthermore, prehispanic settlements and ceremonial centers of indigenous cultures existed nearby (Labra, 2014). Taxco´s population is of 104 053 inhabitants, with respect to the latest census. The demographic pyramid shows that there are many young people aged from 4 to 24 years. Men and women are almost equally distributed (SEDESOL, 2014a). Figure 3-1: Demographic Pyramid of Taxco in 2010 Source: SEDESOL, 2014a 32 3.2 Economy of Taxco Guerrero is the second poorest state of the 31 states of Mexico, with 69.7% of the population living in poverty in 2012 (CONEVAL, 2013). The state of Guerrero contributed 1.4% to the national GDP in 2012 (Proméxico, 2014).
