DA Good 1986 Journal vicinity of Tapanti reserve, cont. 8 May Of the afternoon by walking down to the "failed motel" just S of the cabin. Found 2 ? Nopcs humilis + caught 1. Then back to the cabin for supper. At ca. 7:00 PM, we walked up the creek behind the cabin with head lamps + found 1 ? Geophis hoffmanni + 5 Eleutherodactylus coventus. The Geophis was on the ground at the edge of the stream in open pasture. The frogs were all on low vegetation (0-1.5 m off the ground). We also heard several kinds of frogs but ? recognized only Eleutherodactylus christae.

Weather today bright sunshine in the morning, clouding over by afternoon. It began to rain just as we were going out frog-hunting at night + stopped ca 9:00 PM. 9 May Fairly late start today - with difficulties preparing breakfast and with field note writing, we didn't get going until ca. 10:00-10:30 AM.

Along the road to the trailhead we obtained a Nopcs limifrons running across the road and a N. oyxylephus on the porch behind the park headquarters - another was seen but
