Takes Oneaga, zoo, Dept San Miguel, El Salvador Jan. 27, 1942. and shows black cross barring on dark brown the length of the dorsum. Took a ? Sceloporus from rock, & Marshall gave me a young ?. He also gave me a young Therapsa, which shows yellow brown ground color with black spotting, and no indication of the usual transverse striping. Took Anolis (1093) with a dark blue spot on its orange throat fan. Shot a ? Chloroceryle cenea (1094) from a small tree at the lake's edge, & Leimma noveboracensis (1095) as it foraged through the brush by the water. The Chloroceryle shows more extensive orange on the underparts than 1080. Took a ? Cladyp: saris aglaiae (1096) from a Mimosa tree along the trail. Went night hunting. Took a Bufu just outside camp. Took two more in the water at the lake's edge. One was very large, and after being placed in my hunting coat pocket, gave voice twice. The call was a very loud hiii. This noise, heard frequently at night, had been previously ascribed to some water bird, either a jacana or a rail. It carries about a quarter of a mile, & can easily be heard in camp. These frogs are very numerous, & can be heard all over the waterfront. On my way back heard a rustling in the leaves, and shined a Gecko (Corymys mitratus)
