Havito, Jean 2005 Journal Sept. 1 Cerro Jaguachin, San Cristobal, Chiapas, Mexico (cont.) ... 1 subadult B. rostrata, 1 Bufo limacoides and 1 M. marabli. Conditions seemed good and I was surprised not to see more B. rostrata; they were apparently much more common than B. hartwegi in the past. We spent the night in San Cristobal. Sept. 2 Huitopee and San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, Mexico We traded chytrid swabs for our salamanders from yesterday, tropical frogs and went to the market in the morning. In the afternoon, Antonio and his partner Nora joined us and we drove to the Reserva Ecológica Huitopee, run by Pemex. The oak forest (Quercus rugosa and Q. crassifolia) was in good condition with lots of logs and some rocks to turn, and lots of moss. We searched from 1506-1600 and I found an adult B. hartwegi inside a stump. (16.75393°N, 92.68167°W [WGS84, 11m acc.], 2326m elev.). We then drove past San Juan Chamula towards Pantelho for 8.5 km on the main road and then turned right onto a dirt road and drove 0.2 km. We searched in the mud of the road bank and found 1 B. hartwegi and 1 B. lineatus in 30 min of searching (1700-1730) (16.84268°N, 92.69220°W [WGS84, 9m acc.], 2179 m elev.). We drove 1.0 km further and searched from 1740- 1825, and found 3 B. hartwegi, 1 B. lineatus and 1 Graugaster glauens (16.83866°N, 92.68642°W [WGS84, 5m acc.], 2196 m elev.). We then drove back past San Cristobal and towards Justita Gutierrez on the free highway and took the road
