to the 2450m. locality where I had caught 1 salamander in
hope of finding another (or >1). I had had no luck finding any
at our 2800m campsite. I remained at the 2450m locality
until 1200 tearing down bromeliads and turning over stones +
logs. I found 1 salamander (DAG 302). When I returned to the
car I found that the sun had nicely heated it up and since
we by this time had run out of ice, I decided that, if I was
to keep my salamanders alive, I would have to return to
the higher campsite where it was cooler and cloudier. This I
did and helped Ed + Duke finish skinning mice until 1:15 at
which time we had lunch. I then hung around camp until 15:15
when I took 40 traps and went up to set them beyond my
20 traps already set. I set them in habitat similar to though
steeper than, that in which Ed had caught his heteromys. This
took until 1700 at which time I returned to camp and hung
around until supper was ready. While waiting (ca. 1830)
our friend from a couple of days ago came by in a rather
drunken condition and he stayed until ca 2000 trying to converse
with us. We shared our supper with him. After doing the dishes,
field notes + bed.
