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)
