Hanken, James 1976 Journal Casa de Miguel Ceron, Ceratallapan, Est Veracruz, Mexico 31 Jan (cont'd) Distinguishing markings of white spots on a black ventral ground color with white flecking on the chin and lower sides. Dorsal coloration was a non-descript brown. It was found by Brad under a moss-covered piece of bark on a dead log ~ 4' above the ground. The other specimen, M2832, presumably Thorius was found (inside a rotting log). We then decided to stem down the mountains on the assumption of Carlos that De Arms of places with more Thorius. We then worked a large area both on the lower slopes of Cerro Chichinuatla and across the ravine to the N in the area about the house of Victor Solano and Casa de Sencen. We concentrated primarily in disturbed areas grown to coffee with bananas for shade and often orange trees at elevations ranging from 1000-1150 m, in these 2 1/2 - 3 days we found 3 Lineatriton lineola (under rocks), 16 Bolitoglossa rufescens (9 in banana leafaxils, one found by me in a rotting log in a cut-over area was grown to thickets at 1150 m,) and Carlos found one Thorius under a rock at 1100 m. No snakes, lizards, or adult frogs were seen today by anyone.
