Hawken, James 1975 journal Panama: Cerro Punta area Volcan el Chato del Volcan, Chiriqui Province, Panama 21 August particularly frustrating, with much work being put in for often no reward. Despite the fact that the rain and often poorly accessible localities; even when these and more easily-reached localities are visited, no salamanders are found. I am about ready to give-up working this area, not having any ideas as to more likely places to visit or better methods to use. Color notes: Today's small (~1/2 cm SVL) Eleuther- dactylus resembles the other tiny frogs which have been the most common species in this area. In addition to the generally brownish dorsal coloration are several alternating dark-light stripes which radiate from the eyes out to the upper + lower eyes and just below the lower jaw. The second frog I am unable even to place to family. SVL ~ 3 cm. Toes tips not expanded. Ground color is pale lime-green, paler ventrally, with some indistinct patches of olive-green on the trunk (dorsum). Head is arrow-shaped from above; snout pointed. Eyes dark except for thin light cornea.
