Points, Dean 2007 Journal Aug. 7 San Cristobal to Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico We drove to Palenque today, stopping at some sites along the road to look for B. hartwegi. We searched in roadbanks in high areas around Huixtan for ~30 min, but found nothing although the habitat looked good. There were tons of bromeliads and some good forest left. We also searched in loops at a second site ~ 0.5 km S of Huixtan for 30 min, but found only a B phenomorphus. We then drove on to Palenque, planning to stop on the way back. Aug. 8 Ya'altzoman, Mpioir. Chilon, Chiapas, Mexico We went to Palenque this morning - absolutely spectacular. I wish we had more time there, but we could only spend a morning before we drove to Ocosingo to meet Antonio Munoz and his partner Flora. We all drove to Bachajon and then up a side road to the village of Ya'altzoman, where a student of Antonio had collected a Cryptotriton alvarezi albino and a mexicana-type Bolitoglossa sp., possibly distinguished from B. mexicana by having lines rather than just Hitches on the dorsum and by having less webbed feet (I think). Some kids took us to la Cueva de la Dalejo, a big limestone cave where the Cryptotriton was found at the mouth. We searched some nice wet mossy areas for ~30 min but found nothing. On the way out, we got a B. infuscans, a Duellman'shyla, and a S. milusca (escobii) on leaves in secondary forest. The kids here call salamanders ti'kueint and frogs 'chuich. We spent the night in Chilon.
