Estrella/Cerro de la Muerte region, Prov. Cartago/San José/Costa Rica
12 August
along the way: Some tadpoles in a water-filled hole just above
Estrella (see catalogue), an Electrometaclytus in a ground-level
bromeliad (see catalogue) and 2 Anolis trupullopis in copulo
on a road-cut bank (see catalogue). On reaching the main
Cerro de la Muerte Rd. ( Hwy 2), we turned right + headed down
to Seine, a site where Hyla pieadar tadpoles had been collected
last year by (F, DBW, etc.). We found nothing although we lurked in
almost 50 bromeliads. We then drove down to Casa Mata + almost
a kilometer left (west) on the road which intersects Hwy 2 there.
We collected 2 Hyla from bromeliads in a pasture, Anolis
from among rocks in the same pasture and a Geydus from under
a log in a pasture a bit higher in elevation (see catalogue).
We left this area for San José ca. 5:00 PM.
See D.C. Cannatella notes for details on the frogs collected.

supposed to show us around, was there. He wasn't but we
were told he would be back the next morning. Then back
