Province Panama
24 August remaining stands of original forest, mature
trees remaining only in the vicinity of Barre
or along fence rows, Banana groves are
evident throughout the area, from large
plantation-size stands to small plots in
peoples' yards. I was able to enter several of
these groves around Progoso, and look under
fallen limbs and feel away leaves on
standing trees, but no salamanders were
found. I did, though, in this manner find
two frogs, both Lysids. One, #P84, in the
slight concavity where a banana leaf comes out
from the trunk ~1' high; the other was found
#P85
clinging to a trunk ~4' high. The former locate 30m
was along the main highway E of Progreso, the
to this latter on a side road N & S running from town.
Few fallen, decaying logs could be found to examine. Few large logs
were found along a fence row at the edge of
a large cleared field (for growing rice?)
along a side road running SW to the main
highway ~2 km E of Progreso. These logs
were looked for at least 1/2 hour and all
that was found besides ants and termites was
the small frog (possibly e Bufo) #P85,
