DA Good 1986 Journal Vrinity Tapanti reserve, cont 17 May Left the cabin ca[illegible] this morning + drove up to the site where Nototriton was collected several days ago in an attempt to find more. While moss on some trees + logs was wet enough (particularly close to the ground), we found nothing in an hour or so of looking in moss and in bromeliads. Several specimens were preserved at the guard station before we made this excursion. After a while of having little luck pulling moss we decided that instead of tearing up semi-dry moss, it would be better to leave it alone until it rains and instead do some exploring of trails elsewhere. We therefore drove to the Palmitos trail up which we had previously gone to ca. 1500m elev. and hiked up it to the ridge between the Rio Grande and Peylaye drainages, perhaps to 2000m or slightly more in elevation, although I forgot my altimeter. There is a lot of very good salamander moss on the trees at the top of this ridge, wet enough for salamanders - though we found none. The trail is a good one, the top is easily reachable in between an hour and 2 hours if one is not hunting along the way. We found several Eleutherodactylus p滇iferus, a couple of E. melanostictus (all on the ground), a Dyla juvenile, several rare tadpoles and a large crown anole (maybe Anolis muertus (?)). The anole was also on the ground beside the path. We returned to the car without having found the end of the trail at ca 4:00 PM + drove back to the cabin. While sitting outside the cabin, an American college student came up
