Hankel, James 1975 Journal Penion Volcan El Hato del Volcan, Veraguas Province Panama 22 August 6 PM last night I left at ~8PM heading NW on Hwy 11 intending to walk along a small stream located 20km from Volcan which Jinkuck and I had found last week. There had been rain in Volcan all day until late afternoon when heavy showers fell for over an hour. This proved to be favorable for night driving, as several amphibians were found on the road One caecilian was found NOR 10 km (by road) NW of the junction of Hwy's 11 & 13 in Volcan. There was vricula protruding from the body at a point ~1/3 body length from the head and the lower jaw appeared broken. Approx. 1km further along the road a frog was taken (P80), probably an Eleutherodactylus. A Rana (maculosa) was found on the road 4 km further on. Reaching the intended stream I parked the car and then proceeded along a road which runs along the stream for ~50 yds, then crosses it and leads up gradually up the canyon wall. I proceeded slowly with a headlamp scanning the high road banks overgrown with vegetation for salamanders, but none were found. Neither were any found on any of the broad (up to 2' across) leaves overhanging the stream
