Aug. 24 Local policeman and seemed quite spoiled - drove an LTD, stereo, etc. He's trained forever to be good. He's drove us around Martin, showing us the rich houses, poor goats, and everything. He dropped us by the hotel and promised to send us insects, rats, and other animals he might find. Just what we need!
Aug. 25 Ate breakfast in Oaxaca at the Hotel de Francia and informed the waiter (who looks like Anna Debot) how to get to La Barra. He had given me wrong directions before. After breakfast we went to a department store and bought some foam rubber to pack around the ice in the cooler. This should prevent the animals from getting too cold due to direct contact with the ice. I also bought a Levi's denim jacket for ~$7.00 which in Berkeley costs ~$25.00. We then drove to Huatusco and worked the stream area about 3 pm. S of the town. This is a regular locality. We got five Bolitoglossa platydictyla - no very small
