Hankin, James 1977 Journal Green Turtle Station, Tortuguero, Costa Rica 27 August attempts at the Boca. So far I've caught just one small jack. Yesterday John Moore and I walked through the forest behind the fishing camp. I collected dendrobates pumilio was common and I collected ~15 for freezing. I also caught one Sphoeroides lineatus. We found a slow, muddy, meandering stream 5 of the lodge which habored a river otter. John had a better look than I and he is certain it was an otter. The forest behind the lodge is quite impressive for both its accessibility and intactness, frog-eyes and still contains other impressive wildlife beside the otter, e.g. Karen and Lynn yesterday afternoon saw a tapacurrua (paca) and a trogon beside the little cove 5 of the lodge. Several of the small ponds (or large puddles) in the forest which are usually flooded at this time were only damp and I tried for caecilians but found none. Today, a few of us are going over to the cave near Turtle Mt. which is said to home rats, lizards, snakes, peccaries, etc.
