Hanken, James 1975 Journal Panama - Boquete area Hotel Fundadores elev 1600m, Boquete, Chiriquí Province, Panama 10 August Temperature inside the log at time of collection general was 20.5°C. We remained at this locality for for 3 hrs between 11 AM-2 PM before returning to the car. Birds of note seen were a pair of chestnut-capped brush finches & Atlapetes brunneinucha P. Returning towards Boquete we crossed NE on the road which passes along the SE flank of Cerro de Piedra de Lino or towards the N flank of the Cerro Palo Alto (via the road running along the S bank of the Rio Palo Alto). The road gradually worsened until we reached an elevation of ~1500m when we turned around because of the poor road conditions and steady rain which was beginning to fall. At this point the valley to the N as well as the lower slopes of the S were are cleared for agriculture or cattle grazing, although the upper slopes to the S were densely forested. Returning toward Boquete we stopped at an elevation of about 1400m. while Jim Lynch examined some banana plants being used as shade trees for coffee & and el a forested ravine leading down to the road. No salamanders were found anywhere, including two large bromeliads which el found on families.
