Pinto, Dear 2011 Journal Mar. 17 Dural, Nebaj, Quiche, Guatemala We drove to Chajul, where it was the tauia festival day, so no one was in the municipalidad. We found the mayor at his house and talked to him about getting permission to work in the Reserva Bisis-Cabah. We drove back to Nebaj, and went on to Dolquil Arunka, a distant locality, but found no forest in the area. Continued on to Batz Dural I, passing through an area that was once an oak forest but now has only ~20 trees remaining (15.52378°N, 91.25167°W [±8m], 2786m elev.). The people in Dural [illegible] told us that the pine-oak forest on Cerro Dural had burned several times, and that the only remaining forest in the area is a 2 day walk away. We drove back to Nebaj and spent the night in Santo Cruz de Quiche. Mar. 18 Zacualpa, Quiche, Guatemala We drove E from Santa Cruz to Zacualpa, then took a road NE up into the Sierra de Chuacus. We passed through secondary oak forest and stopped to search for salamanders at the high point on the road, near Alta Cholmiguicj. Saw only 3-4 large, old oaks, but even the small trees were fairly heavily laden with frondliads. We searched in frondliads from 12:55 - 13:30; I opened about 10. I found 2 B. cuchumata (each in 1 frondliad), plus 3 more in a single frondliad that also had an adult B. meliana and a small Plethodon, which reminded me of L. ixil. We drove back to Zacualpa and spoke to the people in the municipality, then drove 10.9 Km NW to Tzintzotz, on the slopes of a forested mountain called Cerro de las Minas. We searched in big frondliads in lower oaks from 16:30 - 17:00 (maybe 10) + got 11 B. cuchumata (kept 10) + 1 Plethodon. The day was sunny + cool. Spent night in Santa Cruz.
