D. A Good 1987 Catalogue Tapanti region + Braulio Carrillo Natl. Park, Costa Rica 11 August Brake down and out of the park to the vicinity of Colonia Tapanti where we ran into Arn Rogue (condor Manos) - talked to him for a while (an andurous talk - I can understand almost nothing of what he says). We then drove down to the Rio Quini in hopes of finding Bolitoglossa gracilis. The area where they had been collected before had been destroyed by a new farm having been set up there. We gave up + drove back to San Jose + then N 200 on the main rd. through Braulio Carrillo Natl. Park toward Guapiles.(It was ca. 4:00 - 5:00 PM). This is an absolutely beautiful area - untroubled forest on extremely steep mountainside going all the way down at least to 500 m elev. and up to 2800 m on the top of Volcan Barba. Then back to San Jose c.a. 6:00 PM. Estrella/Cerro de la Muerte region, Prov. Cartago/San Jose, Costa Rica 12 August Spent the morning until 11:00 trussing + photographing specimens + waiting for our 4-wheel drive jeep from Iberty - it was supposed to be ready at 7:00, but wasn't. Finally left San Jose ca. 11:00 AM + drove through Cartago to the slopes of Cerro de la Muerte. We turned off the main rd. on a poor dirt rd. to Estrella, the type locality of Nototriton piceador in hopes of finding some extant habitat - we drove the entire length of this road to Lasa de Rilla just below El Empolme but found no good salamander habitat except a few bromeliads here + there - no moss + no salamanders. The area is almost completely agriculturalized + the forest removed. We found a few specimens
