F slope Los Escamites, 7300', Dept Chalatenango, El Salvador
March 8, 1942.
Stayed around Camp, and have an infected foot. Several
specimens were brought in by members of the party. The
cleoborus here is green, and closely resembles that
found on Mt. Tacaguatique, but I believe that it is diffe-
rent. The Ferborus is evidently not salvadorensis, as
the frontal + median frontonasal are in contact, and the color
+ size are somewhat different from Schmidt's description. An
Anolis was brought in which has a broad yellow stripe
running from a point just behind the head, the whole
length of the body and over the basal 1/2 of the tail. The
throat fan is yellow.

All today, I stayed in bed all day. Natives brought in
two snakes. One resembles a garter snake, to which
it is certainly closely allied. The other snake is a
Bothrops godmani. It agrees closely with Schmidt's
description of a specimen taken here by Stirton in 1927.
The "garter" snake is called "Sanagas", the pit viper
came
"Timbo". They came from down below a short distance.

Stayed in bed all today. Another Bothrops and a
snake tentatively identified as Micrurus were brought
in by a native. The second snake resembles a
coral snake in shape, size, scalation, but it is a
light red dorsally, with mid-dorsal black shading,
no traces of annuli. I know of no species of
