Hanken, James 1976 Journal Hotel Betthangel, Catemaco, Est. Veracruz, Mexico 4 February 7:30 PM & Brad Shaffer and I arrived in Catemoco last night at ~6 PM after a long day's drive from Fortin. In the morning we had returned to the locality in Fortin where we had a few days earlier found a B. platydactyla under a rock slab. We worked the adjacent cafetal, a very pleasant area of coffee trees and banana plants often shaded by tall, broad, vine-covered trees on a slope which faces SW towards Cerro Chicalmacle. The ground under shaded rocks and logs was damp. Three lineatriton lineola were found under rocks and 2 B. reflexus in banana leaf axils. Brad also found one Bufo, one additional frog, and three more snakes with a yellow neck ring under small exposed rocks. During the main walk through the cafetal. We left Fortin E on the non-toll road towards Cordoba looking for other likely spots to find B. platydactyla. We stopped 4.1 km E of Fortin to visit a small cluster of trees adjacent to the Las Palmas Hotel. None were found here, nor in the yards of people living across the highway, although they assured us that there were many "caconetes" to be had in moist times. As we were leaving & flipped small rocks in an unshaded grassy field next to the road
