Hauken, James 1975 Journal Pension Volcan, El Ható del Volcan, Chiriqui Province, Panama 22 August Jim Lynch and I had thought this to be a good place to find centrolenid frogs, but no frogs were even heard calling. I did find one snake, <12" total length 4' [illegible] above the ground on a large leaf (~1/2' across) next to the road 10' from the stream. The snake was actively moving along the leaf despite an air temp. of 83-8°. The snake was beautifully colored with a yellow ground color dorsally and ventrally, alternating incomplete dorsal + lateral transverse bands, and a thin median ventral dark stripe with a longitudinal row of dark dots on either side of this vertical stripe (no dot) caudal scale/ido). Returning to Volcan I stopped along two tall roadcuts well overgrown with moss + other vegetation to look for salamanders, one 18 km and the other 12 km from Volcan. No sals were found, but at the latter locality two hybrid frogs were found in the slowly running water in a drainage gully at the base of the road cut. I returned to Volcan shortly after 11 PM.
