1 mi. NE Cerro de los Tararajos, 5200, Dept. Santa Ana, El Salvador.
April 14, 1942
With dense stands of the banana-like plant described in my notes of April 13. Examination of Bromeliads and of the banana-like plants turned up nothing. There were not many down logs, and those few found and investigated showed nothing. Although this peak is well exposed to the clouds every day, and the trees well covered with epiphytes, the forest cover is more like that of Mt. Tacaguatique, rather than that found in the humid cloud forest of Los Esmeriles. The chief difference lies in the drier condition of the undercover and ground level, and the absence of fern growth. The undercover is not as lush as at Los Esmeriles, and the trees are not safe. I saw nothing in the way of reptiles and amphibians. Collected 1 Anole in a burnt-over field at the base of the cerro. Decided to leave this locality, as it seems rather unproductive. About 5 p.m., got a ride down to Santa Ana from Dr. Roberto Quinonez, manager of the Finca "Los Tararajos", nearby.
