Berto, Sean 2005 Journal El Valle Chiblac, F de Barrillas, Depto. Huehuetenango, Guatemala (cont.) Oct. 30 It looks like the forest may not be intact much longer. We took a different route up, passing through Emilio's father's farm. When we reached the car, Jed drove him home and the rest of us searched in some nearby forest and farms with headlamps (it had just gotten dark) for 30-45 min. without any success.

We drove out on the road from Barrillas to Aldea La Concepcion, and then took the road towards Mulhuitz. We stopped in a small village to search for salamanders at night. On the road, someone stopped us and gave us a Pleurocerus elapsides in a plastic bottle - I guess he heard that the gringos were buying reptiles. We searched in the cafealote, secondary forest and village for over an hour with headlamps. Ernesto found one B. mullen on the side of the village school (15.85734 N, 91.26218 W [WGS84], 15m asc.), 1149m elar.). We also found an Eleutherodactylus xucandri. We never got to the primary
