Hauken, James 1975 Journal Panama - Cerro Pando area Audubon Society Cabin along road to Cerro Punta, Mezca Suiza, Ciriqui Preserve, Panama 13 August 10 PM Our ill-luck continued today as we again Jinkynel and I again tried to find salamander in this area. We left at 7:10 AM back to El Hato del Volcan and then from there took the # Highway No towards Santa Clara. Our U.S. Army Topo maps indicate this road as unpaved but it is at present a two-lane paved road as far as we drove today (see below). Looking for favorable site we decided to work the W flank of a mountain called Cerro Pando located 6 1/2 km W and 5 km N (again) of Volcan. This peak reaches only 1756 m., and is not the same mountain to the S of the same name which lies on the border with Costa Rica. The lower slope on the W flank are cleared in parts for fields or banana groves, but the rest of this flank and upper elevations are essentially intact virgin forest. I climbed up one of the main ravines to within 50 m of the peak while Jim worked the lower uncult slopes of another nearby ravine. No salamanders were found here nor in the banana plants nor under logs in a cut-over area. I found two tiny (w/ cm s-v) Eleutherodactylus on the ground among some felled logs, while Jim found one Anolis. We left
