DA Corel 1986 Journal 25 May vrienty Tapanti reserve, cont. the stream. Returned to the cabina for lunch + field notes, etc. Spent the afternoon there + then Kiisa, Andrew + I drove Phil into San José to catch his plane to the USA early tomorrow morning. Weather, as usual lately, dry in AM, starting to rain heavily by noon - then rain rest of day. Thunder Today. 26 May Spent the better part of the day today in San José, returning to the Cabina in mid-late afternoon. Did no field work today. 27 May We all spent the morning today first foraging under piles of cut grass in one of the fields around the cabina and then going N into the coffee fincas looking for coffee hull caches. We asked permission at the finca just N of the Tapanti' bridge and looked around there for a while. We found no good hull pile but managed to come up with 3 Nivia maculata, a Norops lemnis and a Bufo marinus anyway. The shrews were under the bark of a log. We had collected a Nivia and a Geophis hoffmanni at the cabina earlier. About 11:30 Kiisa left to walk to the guard station because she had some experiments to run. The rest of us stayed for another ~45 min and then drove back to the cabina where we had lunch, expecting to spend the rest of the afternoon cataloging + preserving specimens. Plans were somewhat altered
