David 1942 10 1 mi. NE Cerro de los Harañoes, 5200', Dept. San Salvador, El Salvador April 13, 1942 This a.m. hunted along the crest of the hill behind our house. I followed the crest for about 1/2 mile N, looking for more cloud forest, but this has virtually all been burned off on both sides of the ridge, lea-ving only a narrow strip at the top. Although I found some good rotten logs, I found no amphibians. The Bromeliad niche was also unproductive. There is a plant around here which is very closely al- lied to the banana. It has showy red bracts and prominent leaf stalks. Examination of the under-surface of the latter yielded nothing. There must have been salamanders here when the cloud forest extended well down the slope, but evidently increasingly dry conditions due to burning and clearing have wiped them out. Why they have not resorted to the moist bromeliads cannot say. Took three more green Xeloforus from the woodpile in front of our house. April 14, 1942 Marshall and I climbed the Cerro de los Harañoes to within about 200' of the summit in a.m. This is a steep, isolated, almost perfect cone, rising to about 6,000'. The slopes, almost down to the base, are covered with a dense tree and brush growth. The ground is rather dense, and the trees support fairly heavy epiphytic growth. Some of the brows are well covered
