P. A. Goud 1987 Journal San José to Liberia, Guanacaste, Costa Rica 5 August Dave Wabes, David Cannatelle (GCF) and I left San José about 10:30 this morning and drove to Liberia, Guanacaste, which we reached about 2:30. Here we got a room in a motel and then drove out to Santa Rosa National Park to try to get in touch with Dan Janger, who was going to arrange for us to visit Volcán Orizí + Volcán Cacao. We found him at Santa Rosa + made arrangements to meet at 9:00 AM tomorrow to be shown the facilities on Cacao. Talked to him ca ½ hr, then drove N from Santa Rosa to a flooded pasture Janger had mentioned 10 km N of the park in hopes of finding some frogs. We found more but the area looked promising enough that we decided to return after dark. We then drove back to Liberia + had supper + headed back out to this flooded area ca 6:30. We found some Bufo marinus + another sp. of Bufo (perhaps leutheni) along the road and marinus in the flooded area. Also in the flooded area were Ilysa micicephala, Ololgyon staufferi, Phrynolemus pustuliosus and a species of Smilisca, all but the Smilisca (of which we found 2) fairly common. We worked in this area for about 1-1½ hours, then returned to Liberia where we viewed the Ololgyon + Ilysa as well as 2 frozen Rana Janger had gotten for us on Volcán Cacao. He had also given us an Eleutherodactylus alviri and a preserved B. litoglossa robusta, also from Volcán Cacao.
