Hauken, James 1975 Journal Green Turtle Station, Sea level, Tortuguero, Limón Province, Costa Rica 15 July bands dorsally and transverse bands on the limbs. A dark stripe passed from the tip of the snout through to eye to a point mid-way to the vent. The ventral was yellowish, slightly redder on the throat. Steve Carr found this frog ~ 5' high on a tree trunk at the edge of the pond. No calls were heard. (H149) The next species was found uttering a low-pitched stuttering call lasting ~ to less than 1 second from water level among scattered leaves. It measures ~4cm S-V, with a tan dorsum with two irregular broken, dark bands, and transverse bands on the limbs. The white ventral had a reticulate pattern of brown appearing almost granular. (H14768) The last species was found calling from a height of ~ 4' from the banks in leaves over the water. The call was a high pitched slow trill lasting only a fraction ~ 1 second. Both individuals captured were ~2cm S-V with pale dorsum and yellowish-orange venters. Another call, a high pitched chirp, was heard from high in the coconut palms, but no individuals were seen. This is the commonest call heard at the GTS. In addition, one Iguana iguana ~13cm S-V was found resting in brush above water.
