Duke E. Rogen 1981 Journal 0945 hrs Arrived Cuatupan, which is a company town surrounding a sugar mill about 20 min east of Berizaba along the old non-toll road. The "mountain" of interest to Stan and Dave is located behind the town to the southeast. On the top (east side) there apparently is a remnant patch of "cloud forest" where a certain species of Pseudomocia has been taken. These are needed to compare with other similar salamanders collected this trip. 1035 hrs. Talked with several people here familiar with Salamanders from having been hired by other herpetologists to collect them. Stan and Dave will be accompanied by three people (one is Carlos Geron) up the Cerrto to collect salamanders. I will remain near the car at the base of the hill and set out traps in the afternoon. 1235 hrs Took time to number traps with a Sharpie. I plan to wait another 2-3 hours to set traps. 1400 hrs Prepared to set traps. Weather was pty cloudy this morning (ca. 20%), but the clouds moved in completely by 10:30 and it has been raining since 11:00 hrs. 1540 hrs Returned from setting 60 traps ca. 20 in forest- (not mature, but with some rotten logs) on ca. 20° slope. The remainder were placed in secondary brush, vines, and herbaceous growth. 1600 hrs Stan and Dave collected 6 individuals of the species they wanted from the mountain. They also collected two other species (several individuals of each). We have decided
