D. A. Goral 1987 Journal Monteverde, Costa Rica 14 August Notes written 16 August. Met Wolf Grundon at breakfast in the Pension. He took us out to the reserve + spent the day with us while we looked for Salamanders + frogs - found several Oedipina uniformis, O. polylei, Nototriton puerdori + Bolitoglossa robusta at various places (see catalogue for localities, DBW notes for details). Most were in roadbank moss, although 2 Nototriton were in moss on trees, the B. robusta was under a log in the forest, and one O. polylei was in a pile of shed bark under a tree. Back to Pension for supper - spent the evening until 10:30 tissueing + preserving animals. 15 August Notes written 16 August. Spent morning with Wolf Grundon again on different trails from yesterday - spent considerable time on no trail, at all - just brush-bashing - apparently characteristic of Grundon. Got a few things while with him (see Catalogue + DBW + CF notes for details) but did quite well after he left us - several more Oedipina, Nototriton + Bolitoglossa. Then went to Fogelens at about 4:00 to see some pictures they had taken of lagoons + of the transect down the Atlantic slope from Monteverde. Also saw their new house. Back to Pension Quetzal for Supper then out at night on Sendera Rio to look for frogs - found several Hyla, some Eleutherodactylus + one Bolitoglossa robusta. Back to Pension ca. 11:00.
