Journal
18 Nov. Gave him a ride to town. He told me of
a cave ~ 2 km. walk from town. He
isn't think there were salamanders
there. He said their word for salamander
is Ocojue michi and said they
were found in trees. Also said
there are "grandes", but I guess they
may be lizards - Aloria o Barrio.
We collected in an area before reaching
Zoguillen. It was mostly oak with
many jester-sloped branches. It
seems perfect for arboreal salamanders.
The branches were very wet. The
localities we worked were from 14.4 -
11.0 km. below Zoguillen from elevation
of 2580-2650 m. We got nothing in
~ 50-60 branches and 9 Ilorios on the
ground in rotting logs and wood chips.
The Ilorios are good sized. We worked
about 4 hours overall, 1/2 at night with
flashlamps. We found ~ 1/2 of the Ilorios
at night, but in the same way as in
day. We parked the van on the side
of a side road and slept for the
night.
