D. A. Good 1987 Journal 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. San José to Monterverde, Costa Rica 13 August Notes written 16 August. Spent morning in San José packing equipment + preparing specimens. Left ca. 10:30 + drove to University to see Pedro León briefly, then headed for Monterverde, which we reached in late afternoon. Checked into Pension Quetzal then went to receive headquarters to check into Whittle Wolf Gundon, who was supposed to show us around, was there. He wasn't but we were told he would be back the next morning. Then back to Pension. - Lots of interesting people staying there. Dropped in on the Figdons ca. 5:30 today
