DA Good 1986 Journal vicinity Tapanti reserve, cnt. 10 May the Palmito trail, which we spent the afternoon (until ca 400) walking up, reaching 1785 m elev. Collected a baby Norops triplolepis, & several Eleutherodactylus policiferns and an unidentified Eleutherodactylus. This trail is a very good one through 1º forest - looks excellent as an access to higher elevations (to 2000 m according to the map). Back to Calvina for supper + then back out to the Palmito trail ca 7:15 PM. Kiisa + I then spent the next 2 hours hunting along the lower part of the trail with head lamps - also along the road at the trailhead. Got 4 Norops, 3 Eleutherodactylus cruentus, 1 Oryxa wrenneba + 1 Oryxa pseudopumma, all in low vegetation. Very little frog activity in relation to what we expected - almost nothing calling. Very dry night. The Foydels hunted the mice at the Palmito trailhead for a while, then drove up to our Notation site - returning ca 9:15 - found only 1 E. cruentus. Just before leaving home, found a Centrolene pseudopopon at the roadside on a leaf. To bed ca 10-1030 PM. Weather Sunny or light overcast all day - No rain. 11 May Spent the first part of the morning today cataloguing specimens while Mike Foyden photographed specimens. Shortly after 10, we drove back up into the reserve to the Palmito trail where the Foydels wanted to do some photography work on Heliconia we had seen flowering there.
