2 Feb fallen logs, under logs, or in the road banks. No
Bromeliads were found at this locality, but Brad
had worked Bromeliads for ~1 hr at the first
locality without success. We returned to
Mex Hwy 150 and on to Puerto del Aire where we
took the dirt road S from the highway. The whole
area was sealed around in thick fog the whole
time and I couldn't make many observations
about the area. Our first stop was at 3.2 km (by car)
from the main highway, where the forest has been
partially cleared for agriculture and houses but
We found a wooded hillside with trees with
Bromeliads. As it was extremely cold and wet
from fog we worked here for only ~1 hr, but
found 41 Thorius, all under rocks or logs. Despite
working many bromeliads, only one was found to
contain a frog, one Albionia, then we returned
to the main hwy but stopped 0.8 km before it
to walk another wooded slope in pine-oak.
This is obviously a popular spot with herpetologists
as there were few Bromeliads within reach in
trees and several lying trodden on the ground.
Despite the fog the forest was noticeably drier
than the previous locality and no salamanders
were found. Carlos, though, caught five Albionia
