1 Guatemala, Aug - Sept 1974 left Boston Thurs. Aug. 22 + flew via Miami to Guatemala City. Stayed with parents at lq. gaudy expensive ($25.08/double) very American hotel "Camino Real" 23/ Went and bought numerous maps at "Instituto Geografico Nacional", unfortunately much of my collecting area is in a "controlada" area, maps for which cannot be released as they are guerrilla tools. areas controladas (roughly) Went also to the Nat'l Hist. museum, a complete mess. Badly stuffed mammals, reptiles and amphibians dried for display or rotting and white in weak preservative. Picked up my pack which had been lost in transit at the airport.

24/ Left Guatemala city and drove to Antigua. There mum + daddy went off sight- seeing just before lunch and I took the car and drove to Sta. Maria de Jesus, at the foot of Volcan de Agua. On the road I found my first local herp, a 5 ft. D.O.R. colubrid snake of some sort. It was flattened and unsavable but the pattern was visible and original head shape could be guessed at. It appear had a sort of non- descript brown pattern, smooth scales laterally keeled scales dorsally + light venter. Scale rows probably in the twenties, very similar to an Elaphe but perhaps somewhat heavier bodied than most. It was found at between 1,700 and 2,000 meters elevation. I tried collecting salamanders just below Sta Maria at about 1,980m there were many bromeliads and I opened several dozen but the ground was very dry and dusty and only the largest bromeliads * had were wet inside, and all I found were invertebrates.

4 25/ Woke at seven, bought food at the market and drove to Sta. Maria de Jessís (6,773'elev) A(2800) We parked the car in the plaza and walked in. Walked nearly to the crater (3760 meters) and back down (up 9:30 am - 2:30 pm, down 2:30pm - 5:30 pm). No bromeliads seen above village, nor tree ferns at all. Rained most of the trip, and high up the earth was quite moist but no salamanders were found despite repeated digging at tree bases, in leaf litter, under moss, along roadcut banks etc, as well as dis- manthling many (8 or 10) decomposing logs, and peeling bark from standing deadwood (both of last mostly done in high ecosystem above 3,050 meters of occasional pines and thick lush bunch grass). However on the trip back down we came upon a small viper in the process of eating some sort of Thamnophis, or trying to. We separated them and bagged them, the garter snake seeing very healthy he had been gripped near the tail. We determined to pickled the young crotalid and keep the garter for at least one day to see the venom's effect. We had no trouble buying a needle and

5 syringe for thirty cents at an Antiquan Farmacia. We then drove to Guatemala City for the night. Before we left Sta. Maria we were told that the snakes viper's name was "cantil", and that they grew to at least 7 ft. This one does appear to be a baby as it retains indications of [illegible] the characteristic sulphur yellow tail tip of baby vipers. The snakes were found at 8:10 pm, in surprisingly cool weather, but not in the rain. 26/ Pickled the cantil, went to the main market in the city, where I ordered a wallet from a leather maker to hang around to my neck, to be ready tomorrow 2.50. In the afternoon mum went to see "mcap" people and daddy & I went to the palacio nacionales to see the archaeological exhibit, as the archeological museum is being remodeled, and then to some small ruins outside town, and then to the beautiful cement raised contour map (11,000') of the country with green volcanos 6 ft. tall etc. built in 1909[illegible] amazing, it helped me understand where the escarpment is etc.

Finally pickled the Thamnophis whose wound was soft swollen and discolored, but nowhere near killing him after more than 24 hrs. I suppose the cantil's venom may help in predigestion, but they don't nearly immobilize a reptilian prey item. When they were found the cantil was trying to swallow the Thamnophis apparently aware that his prey wasn't nearly dead. 27/ I went to pick up my wallet while parents drove to Chinultenango to see "incap" people. The leathersmith hadn't showed by nine so I split and after much searching found a Chinalt, bus ($10) and had a pleasant ride. Went up and found "Chrchivac" locality at milestone 94 on the Panamerican highway just beyond Tecpan, looked for a few minutes in heavy rain without success (I believe because as I heard later the rains had just begun and perhaps the animals had not yet emerged) and left.

Aug 31 Ate breakfast at the pension, bought bread + bananas + left ($2.45). The houses here are adobe with thatch or shingle roofs. I stopped at one on my way out of town to inquire about some skins hanging outside. A woman was home and said $2.00 for one, they were tanned, and she called the animal "gato del monte" they looked like coati from a distance. I didn't have $2.00 and I think she was asking very high and was slightly embarrassed, and she wouldn't come down, perhaps she wasn't sure how low her husband wanted to sell. When passing indians on the road walking, apparently the greeting consists of "buenos dias" followed immediately afterward by "Adios", both can be abbreviated and one left out, or sometimes a nod does. Another thing, at the table when one leaves one thanks everyone else at the table "muchas gracias". I finally flagged a bus and rode to a likely looking locality in a high pine forest between San Mateo Ixtatan and Santa Eulalia (1/2 kilometer beyond kilometer 197), San Sebastian Coatan turnoff is at # 182) which I believe is the highest altitude that road reaches between those towns. There were lots of salewenders of two ob-

vius types (prob. species), plus skinks, toads and a Sceloporus-like grey lizard which I collected none of. The forest was almost exclusively pine except for occasional deciduous trees which were invariably covered with thick moss + ferns. There were fallen logs strewn everywhere, many of which appeared partially burnt. The ground was covered with thick sphagnum type moss, a tougher compacter moss, and low (1") leaved green plants. were The ground was flat. All was covered with a top layer of pine needles. The ground was smooth in places, interrupted by rock outcroppings and low rocky hills. Salamanders were found under logs, under bark on logs, under bark on stumps, and inside rotten logs. Both types were found together in the second and third situations. Only the unstriped type was found in the first situation, and only the striped, web-footed type was found in the fourth. In the first situation only once were two salamanders found together under the same log, a large and a small individual. All specimens were collected in an approximately 3 hr. period and within a 200 ft. radius circle.

14 Sept. 2 '74 Spent an hour in each of Two localities in the mix above San Juan Ixcoy (towards Bluejune) checking bromeliads, logs, leaf mold, stamps et al with no success, one place was high hardwood stuff, montane rain forest, the other lower and denser perhaps numbered. Stopped next several kilometers further on, at a higher altitude in a largely dead pine forest where a brook crossed the road. There are deciduous shrubs and grass and moss cover the ground. A rocky area, in fact a major landmark is an enormous stone spire with several trees growing on the top, sticking out of straight up from the hillside some 500 yds to the south of the locality and a bit higher on the hill. It is the first such spire seen coming out of San Juan Ixcoy, it stands several more than 100m high and probably is 70m thick.

just beyond the big one is a smaller one below the road (see map) The locality is most of a kilometer before the 140 km marker (San Juan Ixcoyes is at # 152). looked in the same habitats as yesterday and with the addition of along the stream, and more under rocks, where there were quite a few, while I had found none under the few rocks I turned yesterday. I saw three of the same lizards that I collected yesterday, but did not collect them this time, no other herps. Collected for two to three hours, density of animals was higher. Don't know exactly, but altitude is between well between 2,600 and 3,700 meters, probably right around 2900. Apparently there was a forest fire which leiled but did not burn up the down the trees (Fernando) ridge top collecting site 200m x50m San Juan Ixcoyes km. #140 Rio Guizil blue line 600 N stone spires Capzín (the indian name for this rock) hermana de Capzín

Sept 3 '74, Took the bus this morning to 1 km N of Paguix up on the Sierra de los Cuchamatanes at 23,000 m elev. I walked a canyon bottom for a while but, though the ground was moist, there was no open water, and no salamanders. It is an open rocky situation with occasional juniperish trees and many large agaves. I collected two male rock lizards there (Uvery Sceloporus) These animals are brilliant iridescent green with similarly bright blue tails and darker blue vents and orange chins with black neck patch. Then I caught a ride back with a Dutch guy whose who, as it turned out, ran a finca for a Dutch drug company growing kardenaka, coffee, quinine, etc. He offered me a place to stay there, 25 km. beyond Ramllas, which I readily accepted. So as we drove through San Juan we stopped at the comedor where I had been staying and picked up my stuff (my bill for 3 days food, drink, bed was $5.91) and drove six more hours to the finca. He also told me that there was a guy from Belize collecting snakes and butterflies at the finca for some professor in Mexico. The finca sits right on the edge of the rims, right out the window they drop of into the flats which continue into Yucatan and Petén. The house itself is at 1,100 m. elev., but the finca rises to perhaps 1,800 m. The forest is very lush, big tree ferns all over the place and much uncult forest. The way to get to the finca is to

18 Take the only road out of Banillas (aside from the one coming in) it is up the hill past the mercados and on the right and it is only passable by 4-wheel drive except when very dry. This goes straight into this finca (which is approx. 5,000 acres) Sept. 4 '71 This morning I moved from the main house of the finca to the place the Belician collector lives with his wife. It is a small house, a shack by American standards, rough cut planks with cracks between, dirt floor, corrugated tin roof, one room and a kitchen (a sort of annex of worse construction (1"cracks) fire smoke blackened with an adobe wood burning fireplace. Actually a very clean and comfortable place due to its inhabitants. They are great people. He collects beet insects, snakes etc. for his godfather, a man who works in the natural hist. mus. in Mexico Dato who also sends them to the British museum and Carnegie Inst. He is small, normal Indian looking, his name is Rene Tut (Tut is Mayan he says) and he went to school through high school, he's now 22 and has been making a living collecting for apparently several years, he's been at this finca two months and stays six more. He speaks a lot of English but I speak better Spanish so we usually converse in that.

Went out and checked some bromeliads with no success, may be too low. Wandered around in forest. Nice green dense woods, but no salamanders. Sept. 5 The food here is great, and so is the company. Went out again looking around but again nothing. Caught an arboreal frog [illegible] no more. However one man, a guy who is the head of a group of m[illegible], said yesterday that there are plenty of "vinos dormidos" in the cafetal where his g crew is working and [illegible] he took a bag with him today and brought back three, of three different types, he overcame his fear that they bite, hes a good guy. Tomorrow I go to his cafetal with him early in the morning. Sept. 6 Went at 5:30 to the cafetal. Its not planted with coffee yet and they're just digging holes for the coming young trees now. Its just a hillside covered with fallen trees, they were chopped down a year ago [illegible] told. Salamanders aren't dense, I worked about 4 hours and caught around 8 animals, under logs, and one under bark, all three types. Antonio, the crew head, caught [illegible] as eight as well and I'm now offering some of the men in the crew $5/animals and $2 if they have broken tails. I hope to get perhaps 100 before I leave. I also [illegible] worked up along the forest edge

for c 1 hrs. at the top of the field, opening bromeliads, many tadpoles and frog egg masses plus one frog in perhaps 10 lg. (4' leaves) bromeliads and several smaller ones. In the afternoon we came home and I pickled the animals. Also saw a lg. tarantula in the cafetal. Elevation there is 4,300'. Rene says (the Dutchman) 3,100' at the house. A child brought in a large arboreal frog tonight which came into his house (+2). Sept. 7 Went up the road this morning looking for nitros domidos and found none, but in a bananal came upon a coral snake mimic which I took for Renan. Banals have great potential habitat for sals' but none seem to live there. I worked the place quite hard. I also found some small non-spining bromeliads which had nothing in them. This p.m. Antonio came in with 14 salamanders from the cafetal (+20)

Sept. 8 After one more dry run (nearly leaving on a tractor) I finally got off with very fond goodbye to Renan and Concha. A great stay at the finca although few salamanders. I had better describe the color in life of the salamanders collected here. The species of which I have only three, a large slender animal with long slender legs, very active in life. Black with spots which start as red on the head and grade into pure yellow near midbody. The stocky type with well developed tail and short slender legs with tiny feet is a typical brownish base color with, in many cases, a dark red cast to its dorsum and dorsal portion of tail. This third type is rather lethargic in life. The third is a medium brown, frequently with some slight

indications of dorsolateral lines. As bold patterned, also has well developed legs and is very active in life, one was found under bark on a stump, all other animals from this locality under logs. They seem to occur in similar habitat, although they differ in abundance as seen in proportions in sample, although this is obviously an artificial habitat. I was unable to find any animals in the more normal habitat of the forest. Although I did not collect all of the animals myself; of the ten or so I did actually collect, only once were two under the same lot, and these were both of the second described type. As for credibility of locality data on purchased specimens, they were all bought from Antonio, who I collected with one day, and who collected there without me the next, for he is a

23 So for 75 cents I made it to Barillas, in about 3 hrs, on the top of a truck. Upon arriving I went back to the Hospedaje Terraza where I had stayed before, and got a very nice room. I asked where I could cash a travelers check and was directed to an American missionary family who gladly cashed a $10 check. I stayed for supper, which was very good and quite american, and talked with the family until quite late, five people, never got onto religion at all. I've said that he'd seen salamanders here, several in recent months, but that they were scarce, we looked around his gard but found nothing. He has backpacked around the entire area (lived in Barillas 18 yrs) and knows a lot about the people, animals and land. Sept. 9 '74 - Got up early and headed up to a promising pine forest I'd seen on the way in last night, from 6:00, till past 7:00 I turned logs and stripped bark, no bromeliads, found nothing but usual ants and 3" grubs. Then went down along the river below down into a caftal and turned leaf litter and stones for

24 another hour with no success, on the way back, for breakfast I stopped by the missionaries and he asked some of the men there if they knew of "niños dormidos" the local term, some did but most of these had only ever seen a few. The species here is described as black with white or grey striped or lines, this sounds different than anything I've so far encountered. After breakfast I headed up the blue road back to the house where I'd seen mammal hides before. I found the owner and after a bit of bargaining bought two large hides for $2.50 (for both), and a small squirrel skin was thrown in for good measure. There was on the two hides I bought appear to be grey fox, and coati, they are somewhat stiff but have been tanned. I was told that "gordo", fat, was used. There was a third skin there, of a stocky animal about coati size with larger claws, and a very thick skin which was only dried and was very stiff, it had a definite pattern of dark on light on the neck, and may be some sort of ant-eater or something I don't knows. I then went down to a finca "Rancho Sinaloa" where I was told that there were sometimes one or

two mins to be found, but for over an hour I turned endless banana trash and peeled dead leaf leaves and found nothing, I found two men working and neither knew what a salamander was, so I gave up. Under one banana leaf I saw a large "6" lizard which darted away, but looked like an alligator lizard. The elevation at Santa Cruz Barillas is stated to be > 5,600 ft., but on the sign as you enter town, but on my topo map appears to be between 1600 and 1900m closer to 1600 but still well below 5600 ft., probably close to 5000. I worked in the afternoon repacking my specimens (170 of them) into my new carrier. At first I thought the 1q. square plastic formalin bottle would do, but the bag all jumbled and I realized that they might get damaged that way, so I repacked them the way Renan packs snakes, wrapped in bundles in newspaper, and then doused with formalin and put in a plastic bag. But bags are compressible and the animals could be damaged, plus the newspaper disintegrates, plus the bags break and drip formalin. So I decided to find some tall narrow bottles to use, although I realized that bottles can break, and may leak around the cap, especially when second hand, so, I was about

to buy some bottles in the market at Banillas last night, when I spied some baby bottles, plastic, unbreakable, tall and narrow, with tight fitting tops, and the nipple comes without any holes here so it's perfect, plus they're not too expensive ($3.50). So I bought three and today 2 more, and all the salamanders go perfectly well into three of them. The only potential difficulty is if the formalin wrecks the rubber of the nipple, but I think time is on my side for that. Anyway, about 4:30 one of the missionary's workers, a gardener, showed up with a big beautiful flat black bolitoglossine sal, with brown eyes. Its feet are fully webbed, and it is nearly 5" long and very active when handled. It came from beneath a stone in the missionary's yard, next to the house apparently. I wonder if there is a second, marked species, I presume there is and intend to find it. Sept. 10 '74 - Caught the three am. bus up to El Guetzal, waited for dawn and looked around. The woods above the town, what's left of them, are girded clean of frogs, so there is little promising habitat. I moved down the road checking the woods from time to time. The woods are aspen and oak I think

27 anyway they appear very temperate, low deciduous trees. I finally tried an path high up the hill from the road. They were beautiful. Large rainforest hardwoods, with some smaller growth in the shaded forest floor, rotting logs strewn everywhere, enormous large bromeliads abundant, thick moss, everything moist and perfect for salamanders. But now are no evidence. I worked hard in that forest for more than 3 hrs, turning literally hundreds of choice logs, breaking open many dozens, and stripping much bark, checking some several dozen bromeliads from small to lg. (leaves 2-3 ft.), all full of water and insects but no sign of salamanders, frogs, or eggs. I did find two frogs, one under a log and the other active they appear to be the same species. Managed to catch an alligator lizard under some stones in a cornfield. I then, after walking the ridge with the woods on it towards Barillas, I descended the slope into a very nice pine forest, also strewn with stumps and logs, nothing. From there I made my way to the road and got back to the hotel at 11:00 am. Slept this p.m. and bought a pair of marimba sticks from the local marimba maker for Jim Gressener, and 4 nice enamel spoons ($5 each) for Ellen and Mico, also mailed a letter for Renan. I'm leaving Barillas tomorrow and will make one last attempt for sals along the river (57)

tomorrow morning. To hedge my bets, as I really want that other species, I'm giving a baby bottle full of formalin & with a self-addressed tube (to Sam at MVZ) to the missionary, as he says he has seen quite a few on rainy nights in his yard, with a couple of dollars for air-mail and I'll tell him just to throw those he finds only in his own yard, into the formalin which will kill them and fix them, they won't be straight but I'll have some. I'm sure he'll do it as he has become very inter- erested in sales due to me, and he's going to do a ten minute spot on his radio station on sales (his mission is primarily to run an Indian (Y dialects) and Spanish religious radio station here). This evening a young guy came to the hotel looking for me saying he could catch some winos dormidos for me perhaps, and that he had a "piedra antigua". I bought the stone for $1 and told him I'd buy animals but that I was leaving at noon tomorrow. The stone is very pretty, and seems to be finer work than in most stores, so I think it may be real. He says they come from the river. Sept. 11 - Talked relig. vs. science with the missionary (Bill Verth, radio maya) finally, no problems but no

changes, left on the noon bus and stopped near Sta. Eulalia to collect in oak woods (no success). The km.#194 locality is at the top of the upgrade coming out of San Mateo towards Sta. Eub., it's the first crest with flat or slightly down grade in the pass, and may well be the highest point in that entire pass although there are several subsequent rises, perhaps as high. Thumbed a ride at $1.00 and got to San Juan around 7:00. 12. Caught the 8:00 am bus out of San Juan ($1) and changed at Huehuetecpan. Got to Tecpan at around 8:00 pm and found the only handy hotel, a bit more expensive ($2 w/o food) in teddy rain which they haven't had for a while (good for 'wanderers'). Chichuare is a limestone works and lies almost exactly (perhaps 1/2 k. off) the peak of the pass.

14 - I've found what I suppose is Bolitoglossa morio in the forest above Chi- chave, it turns out that Chichivae is a factory where statuary is made, apparently there IS a special type of stone there, and they blasted several times today. I thought it was a staircase factory because "calera" sounded like "escalera" to me. The animals were found in the mixed pine and oak woods at the top of the ridge behind the factory in stumps and logs I beleive of both tree species, also one individual was found beneath a fallen bromeliad. Schmidt describes morio as having white spots, sometimes fused into stripes and tinged with yellow. By no stretch of the imagination could the markings on today's specimens be considered white or yellow. These vary from all do have tiny white flecks on the venter which extend onto the lower sides in some cases, and the feet, but these are not the dominant marking and never enlarge. On some the largest light markings are small irregular (174-175) grey to grey-brown patches on the lower side, but there are so insignificant that at first, before close inspection I considered some of the animals pure black-brown. On others there are more dramatic large patches, sometimes

extending over 2 or three lateral folds, of light (176-177) brown, or on some [illegible] dark salmon (178)-[illegible] colorful highest on the animals' side, this exists on the (#179) legs as well. On one individual (of the 8 collected) there are two dorso-lateral stripes of a dark red brown which continue to just behind the eye, on this specimen the upper side of all four legs is the same dark-brown. On another, small salmon spots fuse to form lighter dorso-lateral line (181). These animals are not abundant; the eight [illegible] were caught in about 5 hrs. of actual collecting. I found that the best way to capture them is to strip bark and moss from oak stumps and scrue- tinize the cracks before opening the stump. actual work time 15 - Collected more than 6 hrs today and [illegible] few more animals, slow process. I started working pine stumps more thoroughly today and found most of today's cattle therein. One individual was also found beneath pine bark [illegible] I think this is rare because the bark on a pine stump separates from the wood early, creating too large a gap for the zals. They live in the pulpy wood towards the top of the stump I find. Three (it's 186, 187, 188) found in such stumps have a wholly light back of a medium to reddish brown,

32 One small individual (#191) has no light markings whatsoever except for the tiny white flecks [like dark grey enamel pot]. The others agree with yesterday's. It seems that the abundance of these animals in pine v.s. oak is similar, although it is difficult. To compare as opening pine stumps is far easier than oak. So far I've opened hundreds of stumps and one section of the ridge, the highest chunk piece, about 200 yds long (very roughly) and down both sides perhaps 150 ft., has been essentially completely covered; desimatted stumps stand everywhere there are lots there, and I think the ridge was once lumbered, mostly as all are man cut, and no trees as '99. as the largest stumps still stand (up to >2ft. diam. [thestumps]). Tonight I went and firestaked (Cuba tribes). 16 Hung over, went to Nahuala a bought jacket etc. 17 Rode to Purhula ($3) 18 Collected this morning, got two three specimens from 40-50 bromeliads, the larger individual was found actually crawling on the forest floor but it was of on the spot where I'd just

dropped a bromeliad and I believe he came from thust. The locality is & 2 km S. of town near the road as it pulls up [illegible] the side of the valley, below the road near the river.
