1986 D.A. Good Journal 1500 m camp 19 April Up ca 730 - found what I think are 2 Nototriton melchardi before breakfast - 20, after spending the morning preserving specimens, I spent a large part of the afternoon looking for more - see app. accounts. Also. spent considerable time this afternoon looking for brunelids - these are not common here (they seem to have trouble competing with moss). Found a small Bolitoglossa in brunelid #2 of 24 that I found. Craig looked in about 10 others + found nothing. After supper, the others spent some time looking for frogs in the dale. Craig found an adult Bolitoglossa - see app. accounts. Weather - clear in early morning - gradually cloudy until it started to pour by ca 6 PM. 1500 m camp to 1800 m cabin 20 April Having had enough of the rain and the mud at 1500, and thinking that we should sample as much of a diversity of elevations as possible, we decided to move up to the cabin at 1800 m today. This cabin is not one of the "official" expedition camps but it affords shelter + we managed to get some food delivered - enough for a couple of days. Left 1500 m at ca 1030 + reached 1800 by 130 PM. The forest around here is 2° growth - Manuel says ca 20 - 30 years old. Immediately around the cabin is a recently cut area with lots of sticks + logs + low herbaceous plants.
